Driving thru Ohio

So, I've spent a lot of time on the road in the past year and my most frequent destination was Cincinnati, OH. It's actually a really nice ride through Ohio and I have a few mental checkmarks as to how I am doing on my ride.  My two favorite road signs are these:

Where will you spend enternity?
eternity
Hell is Real (sorry blurry)

On the return trip a non-Catholic version of the 10 commandments are painted on the signs. Can't miss them and maybe they make people think for a minute. Might even keep drivers safe if they decide to be cautious after seeing them.

Baby Birds!

The eggs hatched :) Now both parents are flying all over. When they start to fly this should get more interesting!

Outside the House

My daughter said she "didn't know we'd have a nature preserve at this house" yesterday when we were discussing how to stop upsetting a mama bird living by our front door. Now that the dog is getting older (see previous post) it seems we have multiple critters moving onto the property. Here are just some:

Baby rabbits (on side of the house)

The eggs in the nest (where we keep upsetting mama)

Eggs in nest!

Why we keep upsetting her, she's is my hanging basket by the door above the mailbox! You can see her if you look closely.

Butterflies (from last year, my neighbor collects, hatches and releases back in the yard, we babysat)

We caught one of the caterpillars going into the pupa stage. Check this video out!
