There are lots of pictures to go through - more than enough for a blog post, but I am a little pressed for time, so here is a guaranteed popular feature - LILY!!

The Mill Race Trail, St. Jacobs, ON
I was very happy when David and Miriam made arrangements to meet my mom at the Mill Race Trail. That's one of my favourite spots because we get to feed the chickadees.
Look there's one over there!
It is so much fun when the birds come to visit.
It was not a really cold day, but my mom had me bundled up so that I would be toasty and warm.
Put your hand close, David, so that I can see the bird when it comes to take some seed.
Now I will really get a good view when the birds arrive since they have two hands to choose from, and I don't even have to stop eating.
The chickadees are great, but I really like Mallards too, especially when they go "Quack, quack, quack."
Look at my mom; she even has a White-breasted Nuthatch feeding from her hand.
This is all so much fun, and all I have to do is sit in my stroller.
We walked the whole length of the trail and even stopped in St. Jacobs where the adults had a coffee.
Soon it was time to say goodbye, but I know we will do it again next week.
Growing up is so much fun!

Hillside Park, Waterloo, ON
The adults were all saying, "I can't believe it's November already." I am not quite sure what that means, but it seemed to get them excited!
A beautiful cat came to visit. In fact it walked with us most of the way. It was very friendly and David picked it up so that I could pet it.
That was so much fun!
It would be great to have a cat at home, but we already have two dogs, so that's enough! They might not get along anyway.
Mom brought breakfast for me, of course, and a squirrel was having breakfast too.
Squirrels are really cute and I enjoy seeing them, especially when they come close.
It seemed like we had barely met and yet it was two and a quarter hours later and time to part company for another week.
Bye Miriam and David. See you again soon.
What an enjoyable post, David!!!
ReplyDeleteLily is no longer a baby!!! She is a very beautiful and content young lady. : ) I can tell she takes after her mom!
She is already a little person with her own personality!

ReplyDeleteOh Lily... I think you have a future as both a birder and blogger ahead of you!!! This was great fun to read and see. Lots of Love and hugs from afar, YAM-aunty xxx (with thanks to David for hosting you &*>)
Apreciado amigo, David, cada día está más preciosa y espabilada, seguro que disfruta de lo lindo con el paisaje y sus amigos los pajarillos. El gatito le tuve que hacer mucha gracia. Que rato más bueno pasaría con vuestra compañía 😀👏👏🤗.
ReplyDeleteUn gran abrazo queridos amigos, tocayos y grandes persona. Felicita a su mama de mi parte por tan dulce y agradable criatura que tiene.
Did you pick up the cat, David? Liky makes you a soft man.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, Marit
Querido David es maravilloso leer este post. Me gusta ver a Lily es una niña preciosa y muy divertida. Se parece a su mama. Además es un verdadero placer ver que disfruta con las aves y demás animalitos. Muchas gracias por compartirlo. Un enorme abrazo para todos.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteDavid, I suddenly realized I've not received any notifications of new posts from you in quite some time. When I came to look, I found that I've missed three posts, at least. I was going to resubscribe by email, but I can't find any way to do that. Is there something that I'm missing -- apart from your posts, that is!
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know Blogger removed the notification by email option and didn't replace it with anything. Perhaps if someone else reads this comment they can let me know what I need to do to restore an alternative functional option. Most of the changes that have been made seem to be decidedly for the worse. If you send me your email address I would be happy to notify you in the meantime.
DeleteOK-doke. I have you in two places now: a feed reader and my WordPress reader. Neither provides an email, but it will be good exercise for my brain to remember to check for new offerings.
DeleteI do remember some fussing about those Blogger changes. You might consult Jeanie. Someone helped her add an email subscription option to her blog, and that's how I get her posts. I have no idea how it was done, but she might have a tip, or be able to put you in touch with the guru who figured it out. Anyway: I'm all set.
Great, Linda. I will check with Jeanie.
DeleteAdventures with Lily are irreplaceable. Love her precious face. She will be a great bird watcher one day.
ReplyDeleteSweet baby. Her pictures are always a treat.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous little one.
ReplyDeleteFeed thyself first :)
My dear Lily, you write a wonderful post. Thoroughly enjoyed hearing all about your adventures :)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, you have me smiling so big! What a sweet post, a sweet age and cute animals to top it all!
ReplyDeleteHope one day she can come back to your blog and re-live it all!
Hi David - delightful catch ups with Lily and her Mom - wonderful regular weekly walks - while the weather is still relatively warm ... so good to see all the goings on with her learning process and getting out and about. Lovely - thank you ... Hilary
ReplyDeleteLily is such a Sweetie, I think ll our readers are her fans, I know I am. And good that she is learning about wildlife from an early age, that's great. Have a wonderful day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIn Danish she is a 'lækkermås' said with a twinkle in the eye. I am not sure I know an exact English word, but something like cutie or sweetie or even hottie maybe...
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Lisbeth
Hoi David.
ReplyDeleteThis is really enjoyable.
What a sweetheart Lily is.
You see them enjoying.
Delicious.
Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from Patricia.
Excelentes y simpáticas compañía, que llenan tu vida de mucho amor.
ReplyDeleteQue tengas un excelente día.
You really are a big softie, David, but she is adorable!
ReplyDeleteMe? A softie? Perish the thought!!
DeleteHello David, This was so enjoyable to see and read, that I have scrolled up and down several times to appreciate how Lily is growing up, and how sweet she is. I love how your daughter has a Nuthatch eating out of her hand, and the squirrel, duck and ginger cat are lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteKisses to you Lily, see you next week.:=)
What a nice little person, David. Great treasure. I love the photos :)
ReplyDeleteLove the header, David.
ReplyDeleteTime with Lily is priceless! She sure is a cutie and really growing quickly!

ReplyDeleteLily a de quoi observer, c'est super qu'elle puisse profiter de votre amour des animaux.
ReplyDeleteBon weekend
That was nice. Thank you dear David. My grandchildren are a bit bigger ... now :-)))
ReplyDeleteI just want to know who knitted this pretty hearty hat for sweet little Lilly :-)
Many greetings go to you.
I don't think we know who knitted it, Viola. I am pretty sure her mom bought it. I bet you could make one though!
DeleteWhat a lovely post.
ReplyDeleteLily is adorable, and your narration is perfect.
Wishing you a happy weekend.
All the best Jan
David - you chose ... wisely. Who wouldn't enjoy more adorable photos of Lily? And it is thrilling to see such a young person excited about birds! Well done to you and Mama!
ReplyDeleteLily photos are always great. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLily will grow up loving birds and astounding her friends with her knowledge of them.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Super blog
ReplyDeleteEstá muy grande y guapa.Bien se que lo pasó Lilly. Y también vosotros con ella. Así aprenden los niños el amor a la naturaleza. Lindo relato has hecho David.
ReplyDeleteBuen fin de semana para Todos.

Hello
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun outing for Lily. I would be tickled to handfeed the birds. Lily is adorable, cute series of photos. I can see Lily will grow up loving nature. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, I thank you for your comment.
If ever you make it to southern Ontario, I can guarantee you the pleasure.
DeleteLoved the post and the beautiful pics! Lily is adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow precious! We all love these posts featuring Lily. Now I'm curious...does she call you David? Have you chosen a cute name for her to call you? I'm Nana, probably a Southern Grandmother name!
ReplyDeleteRight now she has only a few words. She talks constantly but in a language that only she understands, but I suspect that the floodgates will soon be opened. We haven't even considered what she will call us, but David is fine with me and I am just waiting to see how she gets her tongue around Miriam!
DeleteCertainly Lily is your topmodel.
ReplyDeleteShe will grow up loving nature anyway.
Best regards, Corrie
What a delightful next generation birder! And I love the photo that you have as your header.
ReplyDeleteglad to see Lily loves nature. :)
ReplyDeleteTo be able to have Lily by your side is heaven sent!! Your life is complete.
ReplyDeleteLoving the hand feeding of birds (and Lily, I like the mallards too!)
Thanks so much for linking in.

We have no greater gift and responsibility than that of setting a positive example for the young. Therein lies hope.
ReplyDeleteVery nice post, David.
What a fine little narrator Lily is! And that yellow cat had my heart beating just a wee bit faster.
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest post ever! Lily is growing up fast, and she's so clever letting everyone entertain her so readily :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful commentator Lily is!
ReplyDeleteLos reportajes con Lily, son encantadores ¡ se ve tan linda !
