Friday Photos - Spring Has Sprung In West Babylon! Last year we had dandellions. This year, we have these yellow "flowers". I have no idea what they are but they make for a pretty ground cover. It's finally Spring here and long awaited at that! I've been done with Winter since it started, lol.

Mourning Dove Babies Were Born And Have Flown The Coop On March 21st, I wrote about Mourning Doves Nesting At Our Front Door. They were both born last week and as of yesterday, have flown the coop but not without issues. Geeze, even birds have issues, lol. Earlier this week I noticed the 2 babies by themselves in the nest. Mama was nowhere to be found. Wednesday the babies were on the ground. I guess they didn't get the hang of flying yet. I was concerned of course since we have a few stray cats that lurk around. Yesterday morning I saw mama with her babies on the ground just below the tree where the nest is. So I watched from my window and before you know it, mama and her 2 babies flew away. I guess mama came back to teach them what to do. I'm glad the babies didn't become a cat's dinn...

Mourning Doves Nesting At Our Front Door! We have a large tree by our front door and I noticed last week that 2 mourning doves were building a nest in this tree. The nest was left from last year so I guess they were "rebuilding". Now we have renters? lol. It will take about 2 weeks for the eggs to hatch so I'm keeping a close eye on it. I'm hoping to video tape the babies when they arrive. I am also trying to see if I can get my ladder to be able to peek into the nest without disturbing mama dove. If I can't, I'll leave it alone. Here are 2 pictures I took of her yesterday:

South Bay Elementary School In West Babylon Needs Your Help! My husband received this email from someone in his running group that is coordinating donations:Hi All Many of you have heard about the West Babylon school fire. The k-5 South Bay Elementary School was destroyed. It appears that books from one Kindergarten classroom may recovered.   We are fortunate that no one was hurt and classes will resume tomorrow at The Our lady of Grace Church.   I am reaching out to everyone, especially my teaching colleagues, for donations of classroom supplies (for students and teachers), books, games, phys ed "stuff", "music stuff".   I know that we all contribute to various causes on a regular basis so please don't feel obligated.   Lightly used "stuff" is fine. This may be a good time to purge the...

West Babylon Sunrise...... Both photos were taken outside my front door. Sometimes, the tree looks like it's on fire but today it wasn't as dramatic and the clouds quickly covered the sun soon after these photos were taken.

South Bay Elementary School In West Babylon Ravaged by Fire Last night a fire destroyed 2 of 3 wings of this beloved elementary school that educates 400 children, Kindergarten through 5th grade. It continued to rage for 6 hours into the wee hours of the morning today. A gas line exploded in the cafeteria and the boiler room may be to blame. It is not clear if the children will attend that school come this Monday. A volunteer fire-woman, Christine Manzi, teaches at the South Bay Elementary School and has said, "there will be a "big adjustment" for children and adults alike. She said the classroom is a teacher's "world," and contains things that can't be replaced. A new library was built in the school recently. Since this school is only a few blocks from where I live, I was able to pass i...
