The Killdeer have returned from winter break.
My bird book says they are here year round, but I never see them.
They are a boldly marked, long legged, noisy plover.
I found this one difficult to photograph as it moved constantly and quickly.
The 2 black neck bands and striking black and white markings on it's face, make it easy to identify.
There is a Killdeer at the lake that has chicks.
I will show those next Saturday if I am able to wait that long.
The babies are super cute!!

Things here are going pretty well,
we have had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend.
Cloudy days, a little rain,
but the weekend is suppose to be gorgeous.
Saturday they are reopening our parks and I have a list of places I want to go.
My tomatoes are so big and they need to be planted outside, it is just a tad bit cold yet,
but soon, I will move them to their outside home.
I have plenty of dill started,
to attract the Black Swallowtail Butterflies.
The hubs agreed to a game of Bananagrams, even though he dislikes it.
He proclaimed himself the winner...
but I need to check him more carefully as he is just trying to end the game more quickly and beat me,
which he rarely does.
Hype is not hipe, good try, it worked - but never again.
I have cleaned and organized the entire house, their is nothing left to organize.
I will probably do a separate post on that.
The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds did a fly over the Tri-State area,
a thank you to first responders and healthcare workers.
A construction worker friend in the area sent me this picture, we did not get to see them.
I made this spaghetti on Tuesday, I used jared sauce, which I rarely do.
To jazz it up, I started with a diced sweet onion,
and 2 links of sweet sausage removed from the casings and crumbled.
Once that was browned I added one quarter of a jar of sauce and some heavy cream to lighten it up.
We are not huge fans of heavy red sauce, and this was really good.
I had Texas Toast in the freezer and we had that with it.
I made this
Farmhouse Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatoes, Green Onion Gravy and Corn
on Wednesday, a Home Chef Meal it was very good.
I have not been enjoying television...
but, we watched this movie this week on Netflix
and I thought it was pretty good.
It would not be for everyone,
but Ryan Gosling and Bradly Cooper together...
how bad could that be!
It was "not" a knitting movie for me!
Happy May 1st, another week/month in the books!
