Last spring I had a nest of babies in my hanging flower basket on my front porch! I'd check them every now and then - they were the cutest! I figure they are all trying to adapt to their ever declining natural environment with urban sprawl, and they aren't hurting anything so I like having them close by. It makes me sad to see all the road kill though - wish people would take a little more care when driving. :(

Five?? Oh, my, I hope not!! I think they have a nest sm
in my azalea bushes by the porch...where kitty likes to nap. I really hope she doesn't find any more, but if that is where their nest is, she probably will :( There is a bunny rescuer near where I live and if I need to I can take them to her.

nest of vipers
Your family deserves better friends. It sounds like the boy is already a clone of his materialistic parents & is not a good influence on your daughter. Get away now & start your own group of solid, level-headed, smart, low-impact-living, Nintendo-less do-it-yourself-ers. You don't need these idiots.

Empty nest

I went through the "empty nest" 3 times. I have 2 boys and 1 girl. My daughter is very close to her brothers, as she is the 'baby." We both cried when my first son got married and left the state. We played his favorite songs and cried together, but we got over it. Boys seem to be able to leave easier than girls. I hear from my sons every month or so. They live in Oklahoma, and my daughter and I live in Ohio. My daughter is 25. I moved to Ohio when she was 19. When she got married, I went (and paid for) to the wedding. That was the first time I met her "husband." I missed her so much that my heart ached. We were so close. I was living here in Ohio with no family or friends and just typed all day long and that was it. Well, one day my daughter called me and said they were coming to Ohio to live, as the job market was not good in OK. Her husband had been a jockey and broke his ankle, and could not even ride any longer. They came here and lived with me for 6 months until the upstairs apartment came available. She had a little girl, Autumn, 2 months before she came to Ohio. They still live upstairs. I see them everyday. She had another baby, Summer, who then died of SIDS at 3 months of age. We helped each other through the toughest thing in our lives. She then had twins last December, Wynter and Breanna Spring. The were born at 33 weeks, 3 pounds and 3.4 pounds. I now watch them every morning and afternoon while she takes and picks up Autumn from school. I am watching them right now while she is shopping.

I am telling you this to let you know you never know what life has in store for you. I would never had thought my daughter would be here with me, and I would be a part of her every day life. I love it. My grandchildren love it. My daughter loves it, and even my son-in-law loves it. Life can really bring you lemonaide sometimes.

I think I stepped in the cuckoo's nest!!!
