They don't like to fly, but will for short distances, mostly up into trees or on my roof, where they hunt for bugs and lizards! They nest in scrubby trees, but not on the ground. Very cool birds! I had one that came frequently to my garden, where he speared the lizards from the flower bed, but a couple of years ago I saw him hopping around with only one leg, and that was the last time I saw him. :( But his friends come around occasionally.Kwerkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137038283718088839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-45252662819657888032017-04-22T14:35:17.495+01:002017-04-22T14:35:17.495+01:00Kwerkie, no, I didn't know that at all but it ...Kwerkie, no, I didn't know that at all but it completely makes sense! Thanks for telling me that, the next time when/if our health lets us back to the US, I shall take much more notice when we park the car. On a quiz show here in the UK, I learnt that the road runner belongs to the cuckoo family. We're not too keen on cuckoos here because they lay their eggs in other birds' nests and leave them to hatch, push out the original babies and get fed by the unknowing new parents! I'd like to have road runners here though, they look like much more fun! Thanks for the information though, crafters are so nice xxxJudy Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16118763304809636622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-92231041965236280192017-04-21T15:45:40.303+01:002017-04-21T15:45:40.303+01:00Judy, do you know why roadrunners often run around...Judy, do you know why roadrunners often run around car parking lots? They eat the dead bugs off the bumpers and windshields! I found one on my car hood several years ago, and just stood there, watching my car get cleaned for five minutes until he spotted a vehicle with more snacks.Kwerkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137038283718088839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-1460525901728590872017-04-21T10:04:28.606+01:002017-04-21T10:04:28.606+01:00Hi Barbara,

Big day yesterday - kitchen finally finished( apart from the new door which was sent back as it was damaged!!) . Really pleased with it and can't believe how much bigger it seems ( even though it isn't) . It was lovely to finally sit and have a meal at the table instead of balancing a tray on my lap. Scamp is much happier now there are no strangers and bangings in her house!

It looks as though you and Steve are really enjoying yourselves which is lovely to see. I'm so pleased that you are chilling out ( even though you're doing so many steps and going through so many saunas!!!) This break will certainly be doing you good. Rosella's show last night was excellent and I'm really pleased that you've put the framer stamps into Groovi form - thank you.

Yesterday I was asking you to bring us some cactus stamps to go with my lovely Native American stamps I got from you some years ago. Now, I agree with Jane T, we need a roadrunner stamp too please. During the first lovely holiday I had in the States, I was lucky enough to see a roadrunner, in Denny's car park of all places. I couldn't believe it when my husband told me what it was, because I thought they were just cartoon characters! He's never let me forget it of course. As they say in the cartoons, Happy Trails! I wonder where you will take us tomorrow?Judy Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16118763304809636622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-74480000352752902042017-04-20T19:31:46.463+01:002017-04-20T19:31:46.463+01:00Hello lovely blog friends, sending hugs xxxHello lovely blog friends, sending hugs xxxDiane Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007431860077443115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-41305478580551417562017-04-20T19:30:33.307+01:002017-04-20T19:30:33.307+01:00Hi Barbara

The most spectacular thing I saw there, several years ago, was the hot air balloon rally there, just after it had rained. The park steamrolls parking lots in the sand, and the rain had puddled on those hard spots, and acted like a mirror for the beautiful balloons floating above in the clear blue blue blue sky.Kwerkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137038283718088839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-6934846344241171642017-04-20T19:12:57.071+01:002017-04-20T19:12:57.071+01:00Hello Brenda, keep your thermals on there's an...Hello Brenda, keep your thermals on there's another cold snap on its way.
