  1. I suppose you could say this is “a” lisping Spanish choir.

    A bucolic image of life at your cottage. I am watching two wrens popping to and fro to their nest in our hedge, today they are quiet too so not to disturb chicks I hope wonderful to just stop and stare, eh John. Jan in Castle Gresley

    You will have so much fun watching that choir. We have a very foggy morning here. Yesterday afternoon was very warm and now it is coolish.. I think spring has finally sprung, we almost have leaves on the trees. My doggy is going in for dental this morning and she will be having some tooth extractions, so I am a nervous wreck. I will try to finish my book til I pick her up this afternoon.. I had 3 biopsies on my face yesterday for skin cancer so too much for me to deal with right now. Your post yesterday made me think I have been fighting off depression too. I had “situational depression “ in Grenada once, noticed by the doctors where I was being a standardized patient at the medical school. A short course of medication really helped. I know I will feel better when all this medical stuff is done and I can work on getting my teeth fixed too. All you need is money and lots of it. Just you keep on feeling better and better, I’m pushing you. Hugs Gigi

  6. You're going to really enjoy seeing that choir. Lovely signs of spring everywhere. I hope the magpies don't discover the nest. Enjoy your quiet day and the fresh air blowing through the cottage. xx

  7. I don't here a lisp but I'm getting new hearing aids soon and maybe then I will know what you hear.
    Tina Turner would be proud of that rendition and I would have a hard time standing still during that! :)

      "were" flis not "was".
      "were" is plural, "was" is singular.

    How lvely to add music to a quiet morning.

    Your description of Roger's focused attention on the birds in the honeysuckle made me smile. What a unique character Roger is!

    Hope Carmen floats you blissfully into the air.

    Hugs!

  15. I love these clips of this choir. Thank you for them. If I knew how to include a heart emoji here I would. Actually I'd send two. One for yesterday's post and one for today.

  17. Thank you for the video. Here, the black birds were building in the eaves of the new house. We carefully blocked it all off...and she moved to another eave. Today we sealed off all four corners of the roof.

    1. Oh I love nests in the eaves

    2. We don't mind under the eaves, but they have gotten inside of them, which allows access to the attic. We can't have them inside.
