THE SPARROW.

Dear fellow bloggers my Grandson Pedro arrived on Saturday for his usual extended stay of two months. He arrived with my daughter Eva who had picked him up at the station, so we had dinner together and it  was a lovey reunion. I am looking forward to his company during his stay, and for that reason I may not post or visit as often,  as I would like to spend as much time as possible with Pedro. I still have overdue visits to make and will make sure I reciprocate the comments I have received. Next month it is customary for Pedro and I to celebrate our  June birthdays together as the dates are not too far apart and it will be a lovely family celebration.So many exciting days ahead to anticipate. I have only one photo to share with you this time of the humble sparrow. See you soon!

Wróble to skromne ptaszki ale ja je bardzo lubię.

As others have said, Sonjia, it’s a wonderful portrait of the sparrow. I expect she will be asking for viewing rights to bring her friends to see it! Have a wonderful time with Pedro and check in with us from time to time if you have a chance. I hope the summer will not be oppressively hot and that wildfires decide to give it a rest for this year. Hugs and kisses - David

My Dear Sonjia,
Lovely portrait of your sparrow. I am pleased to report that I have ordered a cover for my meal worm feeder so that the carrion crows cannot eat the lot before the little birds can have some, and I have also been told how to get meal worms in larger quantities at a lower price. A greater variety of birds are now visiting my garden and bird feeders, including a magpie, great tit,a robin as well as blute tits and sparrows
I am sure you will have a lovely time with Pedro and Eva.

Dear Sonjia,
Sparrows are always cute photo subjects :-)
I am happy that you have a two-month visit from your grandson and that you had a nice dinner with him and your daughter. Family moments like this are priceless and valuable, make the most of the time and enjoy it! We will wait patiently here until you have more time for the blogging world again!
All the best, Traude

PS: You asked me a while ago about the funny planted mincer in my garden and what it means: My father was a butcher and used exactly the same mincer at home when I was a child. In a gardening journal I saw how someone had planted in various kitchen appliances, and I liked that idea. Unfortunately the original mincer was no longer available, but a nice neighbor of my parents had a mincer in his basement and gave it to me to plant :-)

A very nice photograph.

It's so lovely that Pedro will be visiting soon and I send early happy birthday wishes as you both celebrate your birthdays next month. Enjoy the special family celebration.

All the best Jan

An underrated bird I think - although it would have better if they had never been brought to Australia.

Lovely to have a visit from your grandson and happy birthday to both of you. A sweet portrait of the sparrow also.

DeniseinVA said...

How wonderful you are going to have a visit from your grandson. Happy Birthday to both of you. The sparrow is a beautiful photo! Happy weekend to you my friend.

Stunning sparrow photo, Sonjia!

Happy Friday!

David James Slater said...

To add to my previous post Sonjia, the magpie was chased away by the dove today and the flock of starlings managed to eat most of the meal worms and suet balls before the crows arrived.I counted 20 starlings including their babies but no sparrows.My observations lead me to believe that the calls of the starlings attract the others while the doves usually 4 or even more, perch on my roof every morning and wait for me to refill the dispensers of which their are 4 plus a water bowl.I provide peanuts,meal worms,wild bird seed and suet balls.
Love.

I love all birds and city cafes would be boring without their chatter. :)

Dear Sonjia, While you are in the midst of a summer break with Breathtaking, I’m stopping by to wish you well and hope that you are having a wonderful time with Pedro. From my own experience blogging, I know that, for me at least, breaks are required and an excellent way to refresh my blogging spirit. Do take your time and enjoy! Best regards to you from Seattle! John
