With the kids grown and flown...the rest of the family had headed south...
in search of trees that still had leaves.

About Me
- Sunny
- I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West.
For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!
THANKS SO MUCH-PLEASE ENJOY!

Hello dear Sunny

Happy Weekend

Clever post. Even the parents didn't remain in this empty nest. Most of us do remain. Even after our little chicks have flown.
Sunny, this is a nice post. I hope they found some warmth and leafy trees!

What a neat photo and comment about the empty nest. Love it!
I love it! Birds' nests are deceptively sturdy - they always look to me like they should be so fragile. And yet, this one withstood every gust that took the leaves off this fall!
Thank you for sharing, Sunny! Have a wonderful Friday!
Nest empty, oh well time to enjoy yourself.lol.
Yup that should read STORM - I slip up at times brain working slower than fungersers(fingers)lol
when i saw the title in my google reader, i was expecting a story of your empty nest, made me smile when I saw the REAL nest. If I lived in that nest i would leave it empty to.
We have noticed some of the trees around us also have empty looking nest, but Abe said they are actually places squirrels made.
Leaves, hey, I think I would like to see palm trees in Florida or cactus in Arizona right now. NO, I have stay home and go rake my leaves today. Good shot.
This is a very familar scen for me.
The nest looks so lonely and vulnerable.
Ironically my word verification is "wings" :)
Love your creative post today, Sunny.... Many of us are empty nesters when the kids grow up and move on.... BUT--we at least get to stay in our nests.
I wonder if something will jump in those nests and at least have a comfy bed to sleep in???? But--if they do, they'll need to build a roof over it. ha ha
Hugs,
Betsy
I clicked a shot like this last winter when there was snow all around... beautiful!
The cooler it gets, the more ready I am to fly south.
I'm always amazed by the strength of the nests. Usually not even the wind can shift them.
We never even know they are there till the lack of leaves expose them. I am always surprised at how many nests there were aroung the house.
I think they just arrived this morning, Sunny. I'll take good care of them and send them back in the spring:)
Nice.
They all headed south, does that make them 'snow birds'?
I've been seeing a lot of those the last week or so, many belonged to birds but here I am also seeing a few squirrel nest.
How beautiful--as of a couple of months ago, my husband and I became empty nesters--there is a whole new beauty to our lives.
Not that we don't appreciate the times our little nest was bright and full...
