May - April Switcheroo

So the weather has turned cold and rainy - May has so far felt much more like April and in retrospect, I realize April felt like what May should be doing right now... But, long sleeves, vests and sweaters are all you need to enjoy - oh, also, winter jackets...

Ugh.

So, our yard is full of birds - blue jays and robins, finches and some other bird whose name we're trying to ascertain.

One things is clear, we do not give quarter to a diurnal owl... like we had been thinking...

Prompting our new joke; What do you call an owl who coos in the daytime?

A pigeon.

Maybe a dove, a love bird... but basically, a pigeon.

Ivo and Burl are doing great. Ivo is sooo into bugs and nature - he has a new terrarium with a magnifying glass attached - very cool. He's been examining earth worms and bright red lily beetles.


Burl has had a combo cold/allergies for the last few days - he's happy but runny nosey. As of yesterday, Burl is a computer-user. With few exceptions, Burl had been happy participating by watching Ivo play games - let's just say Burl has come into his own. He spent hours concentrating on games yesterday... mostly teletubbies on pbs and a couple games on cbc.
