Movie Review---Bring a Lot of Kleenex---------Nights In Rodanthe

Talk about chemistry. Richard Gere and Diane Lane back again together. After years have gone by since "Unfaithful" and "Cotton Club" (which I never saw), they're back again and better than ever.

Lane plays a married gal with kids whose estranged husband wants to return and play "husband" again. Lane goes off to a fabulous but kinda scary B&B that literally is on the beach shoreline. She's watching over it for her BFF who goes away on holiday. Gere plays a recently divorced surgeon who has retired and has some things to take care of in this beach village. Fast forward...romance blossoms quickly in dire times.

Okay, I'm not going to give away the ending. All I can say is that I do like Gere and Lane together again.

A Little Feathered Friend Comes to Visit

A little Tapping on my Window

Yesterday, early in the morning, I heard a "tap tap tap" on my family room window and a flutter of wings. I saw a cute little bird politely knocking on my window asking to come in.

Hello! Hello! Anyone home?

Luckily, I was able to take a couple photos of her before she flew off.

Tobey as "the Mother"

princess tobey in her castle

My little princess Tobey was busy these last couple weeks being "Mother". Once or twice a year, she will lay a bunch of eggs which remain unfertilized...as she does not have a mate.

tobey's babies...the size of a nickel

Tobey's little brood

She will go thru the whole nesting cycle...taking shredded paper to her nesting box, laying her eggs there, protect her lair, sit on her eggs and warm them. It's always a wonder of nature when she does this.

who goes there?!?

Her doctor said to let her go thru this natural cycle. After she's been sitting on the eggs for a couple weeks or so, then when she's off somewhere else, slowly remove them a couple eggs at a time each day until they're all gone. You don't want her to sit too long on them b/c she starts getting weary. You don't want her to be around when you remove them b/c it would be so traumatic on her.

tobey, the mommy bird

Tobey has been going thru this life cycle ever since she was about 1 years old. It never ceases to amaze me. My little princess is a Mother...if only for a short while.

MIA....Sorry!

Taking a breather

Sorry that I haven't posted anything new lately. Once I have time, I will post new adventures again.

Just wanted to leave a cute photo of a little bird "who could". She was found sunbathing in our little garden. Apparently, taking a breather before trying out her new wings again. This will be one of my next blogettes.

Take care and Stop by later.

Stacy ;)
