He Made My Day

Busy Finches

Little Boys

 

We were still enjoying our first cup of coffee when Jeff (oldest son) surprised us with an early morning visit.

 

 

He stopped in for a ten-minute coffee break…

 

 

and even brought his own coffee!

 

 

Then after a hug and a kiss he was gone!

 

 

We’ve seen him in a variety of White Oak Mills trucks, as he began driving for them shortly after graduating from high school – and he will be forty-five this fall.

 

 

The goldfinch convention must still be going on in our woodlot, as the feeders were full of them again today.

 

 

Notice that the one on the upper left is arriving a bit late.

 

 

If you look close, you can see that their feathers are just beginning to turn yellow.

 

 

I love when they wear their brilliant yellow feathers.

 

 

Caught mid-flight

 

 

Pretty feather pattern

 

 

These little guys were here for an hour and a half this afternoon while Kristen went to an appointment.

(Hey, Howard, do you recognize the hat?)

This was my view of them, while I put finishing touches on the PowerPoint pictures of our trip to Europe last summer.
