There is
something of
the marvelous
in all things
of nature
Aristotle
Oh boy did we walk!
The Birds have definitely been strolling! In fact each morning for the last 10 days I packed the little grand-bird into his stroller for a refreshing morning walk! A perfect opportunity for mom and dad to get a little extra shut-eye
With ball in hand…
we hit the road. A flock of Ibis perched on top of the cocoa plum hedges. I'm sure they were hoping for a breakfast of tiny lizards. Suddenly I heard a tiny “oooooooooh” followed with a giggle! I’m sure he was just as amazed as I seeing them precariously stepping from limb to limb. Nature on full display for the Birds!
The bougainvillea caught his eye…
and we just had to stop, just a touch with a whisper of “Pretty!” Such beautiful flowers, the bright colors singing in the morning light.
What a beautiful fountain!
Quite a sight to behold, complete with a fresh spray of water as we rounded the circle!
The asparagus fern….
definitely one of my favorites, was just too tempting! We had to have a touch! Oh so soft, be gentle little one.
We had walked quite a bit…
time for just one more touch. This time it was a tickle from the sweet Mulygrass accompanied with another “wow”
By this time we were getting a wee bit hungry...
so we hurried home. This little one is fascinated with trucks of all kinds, so any truck we passed required serious study. Luckily arriving home we had a nice set of trucks to play with. I knew this would keep him busy while I made breakfast!
Double Chocolate muffins were on the menu this morning!
I knew I had to work fast…the hungry flock of birds would be awake shortly!

While singing the latest…
version of Baby Shark, we mixed the wet ingredients in a bowl.
Pirate Baby Shark…
was a new one for me. Have you heard it? We danced and sang while stirring in the dry ingredients.
Sharing a few chocolate chips…
with the baby bird as he tugged on my shorts garnered a big chocolate smile.
Quick, into the oven…
I hear footsteps quickly approaching! Baked at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, it was a challenge to let them cool for 5 minutes!
I guess it was worth the wait!
Smiles all around! More Please?
What a fun morning, certainly a fun
! Sharing the marvels of nature with my grandson is truly a blessing. There is nothing like seeing the joy on his face as he experiences nature at its best. Thanks to
