I was hoping Verna was going to be a Mommy today!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and wondering about Verna Lovers. Today I woke up and thought to myself, self….I think Verna might be a Mommy on Mother’s Day! hehehe
Well, so far that thought has not come true. I took a picture of her egg babies when she flew off the nest. I think there is some evidence of pecking through on the egg on the right bottom corner. It almost looks like a little white heart shape. What do you think?
Verna got really mad when I took this picture. She started screaming at me. YIKES!
Chaps came out the dog door to see what was going on……He ran down the steps to assure Verna I was just obsessed with taking pictures…
See Mommy Verna sitting on the fence?
I feel like Verna loves us. We love her. Happy Mother’s Day Verna…..
More loving our bird girl later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Can someone help me? Why are Robin’s eggs blue? I can’t seem to find the answer.
Not only are they blue they are the prettiest blue I ever did see!
Howl cool is that?! What a neat little nest she has made.
Googling got me this explanation about the color of the eggs…
“The eggshell comes from pigments in the mothers blood. They are also members of the thrush family and most thrushes lay blue eggs. Also the type of the tree that the mothers lay their eggs is the exact same color the eggs are. So that means it will help the eggs camouflage so predators will not eat the mothers babies.”
End of answer from ask.com
I wonder what kind of tree they lay in that’s the exact same color the eggs are?
Cindy what a great google! I wonder the same thing you do. The eggs are so pretty and bright. Robin’s egg blue is my favorite color!
Blue has always been my favorite color. I remember when I was about 8 years old my grandmother said she was going to make me an afghan and wanted to know what color I wanted. Of course I told her blue. She made me the most beautiful afghan with about 4 different shades of blue. I was so proud of it. It’s a little shabby now and has been folded and put up for about 20 years. I’ll never ever throw it away. It’ll have to disintegrate!
Cindy, what a wonderful memory and afghan. Special!
