Now for the news around here.
I really needed some down time this week. I mean, we all do right?
Miss Jo and her Girl Scout troop went hiking on the trails at our local Metro Park.
They had so much fun feeding birds by hand. They also saw a few swans in the lake.
When she got home she was so excited as she told me of her experience feeding the birds.
They bought some seed at the welcome center and were given strict instruction of how and where to feed. And also not to feed anything to the birds but the seeds they had.
It was so much fun for the girls to be able to get together, safely, and in person.
The smiles on their faces spoke volumes to the joy they had getting out in nature, being together, and discovering the new life in the animals and trees.
What I didn’t realize immediately is what she actually meant about feeding the birds.
As the other girls enticed the different bird to eat their seed, Miss Jo wasn’t able to get any of them interested in her seeds.
True to her form, she moved a bit away from the girls and found her own enthusiastic hungry birds.
She even had a short video made for us to watch.
Can you name the birds she got to hand feed?
Those are wild Sand Hill Cranes.
We have many around where we live and they are quite tame here because of the golf course.
Even then, though, they never get very close to people. They know when to back off and when to pick their spots to eat and rest.
Her cranes though had their own ideas.
Kids. They teach us all we need to know. When to accept each other, and when to be on their own.
Now On To The Party!

Oh my how amazingly fun for your grand daughter to hand feed cranes!! Thank you so much for hosting and I hope you have a wonderful week!
She did have an amazing time, We haven’t seen cranes willing to get closer than 5 feet here on the golf cart. And they are used to seeing people. Thank you for sharing and enjoy your week!
Good morning Marilyn! Sounds like little Miss had a wonderful time! So glad she could make the best of it for herself. I’m sharing some thrifty tips on creating a Spring tablescape, its posted at #130 this week. Have a wonderful day sweet friend!
Thank you DeeDee. She was surprised the crane ate from her hand. And came back after he ate the dropped seed! Thank you for sharing your tablescape. They always intrigue me. I have neither the items nor the patience to make a pretty table. LOL. Thanks for coming each week.

You are welcome Maria. Congrats again! I am glad you started having a comment form so you know I come and check out your posts. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
I hate to admit it but I didn’t even realize a recent site update had disabled my comments. I just thought no one wanted to talk to me lol.
Ahh! I am not the only one oblivious to burps in the updates?? No harm done. I am just glad you figured it out!
Such a sweet photo of your grandchild feeding the crane. I love cranes. We have many in my neck of the woods. Thanks for the party. I’m #77 this week.
I love these cranes too. When we first moved here I thought they were emus. Until a kind neighbor laughed and set me straight. LOL. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
Thank you so much for hosting!
You are so very welcome Priyam. Your contributions are well received. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
I am #63 this week, Marilyn
I love that your granddaughter was able to have an outing with her Girl Scout troop! That sandhill crane is so large! I know they migrate north and stop in certain places on the way — I would love to see that someday!
Have a wonderful week!
She did Pat. They are all over the states. And much bigger than geese. This one would have intimidated me. I sometimes wonder how safe her boldness lets her be. Being surrounded by lakes and golf courses here we see them as often as squirrels. But usually only in groups of 3. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
Thanks for hosting and featuring my Pizza Rolls, stay safe and healthy…
You are welcome! Congrats again. I hope to see you again next week. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!

Hi Marilyn, I love that folks are getting out again in your community! Thanks for hosting, and have a wonderful week ahead.
Thank you Melynda. We are able to do some outside activities as long as we are masked and distanced. I can’t believe how disciplined these kids are. It is so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week!
Hey Marilyn!
I enjoyed it when my kids were in scouts, it helped them learn and develop. I’m glad that they are meeting in person and still able to enjoy scouting.
