If you've been a long time reader of my log cabin blog, then you know a few things that I am obsessed about:
- Log homes (duh!)
- Kitties and Bernese Mountain Dogs
- Tree Hugging & nature loving
- And LOONS!!!
The above photo is of my mama Loon laying on her nest! Her babies will probably hatch this weekend - I am so excited! This nesting raft she is on was crafted by Loon Rangers (and nice friends of mine) to protect them from predators. They typically have 2 babies and when they hatch- they only stay in the nest for one day and then they're off and swimming!
My brood of kids is getting large. Move over Jon & Kate + 8. I propose a new show - Shelley and Greg and their wildlife kingdom! (Greg, I really think we need to add a goat to the mix - what do you think??)
Psst! I pick up Scout tomorrow morning! I'll be sure to post photos tomorrow night!!

Great picture. Thanks for sharing the good news with us. Living within the sound of Loons is an experience. While camping out in Alaska a Scottish friend told me that crazy people reincarnated as Loons. As I listened I was happy for my Aunt Mable and hoped that it was true. ;^)
Aww...baby loons on the way! I think the show idea is a fantastic idea...I'd tune in every week!
I know how excited you are to get Scout tomorrow...can hardly wait to see the pictures of her wonderful homecoming!
And Number FIVE: Betsy!!!!!!
I probably will hear you scream when you put that baby Scout in your car ---to be yours forever!!!!! I'm excited for you, Shell.
That female loon looks very happy... Can't wait to see the babies--so keep us posted.
Love you,
Bets
I am excited for you about Scout and the loon babies. Sitting here wondering which you are more excited about. Really cannot decide.

Yay baby Loons. You are so cute!
You get her tomorrow? OMG! You won't sleep a wink tonight!
I guess I don't get to see her until we get back. No computer in MT. :(
GOOD LUCK!
and YES! You need a goat!
I am so happy for you and your new babies..all of them!!!
really though, I thought that loon was fake. It is so perfect, I thought it was plastic. You know like my flamingo and woodpecker. They will never bless me with babies though....
Can't wait to see scout!
What an exciting weekend you have planned!
That is a great picture of mama loon Shelley! I can't wait to see pictures of her and the babies.
I bet your so excited about Scouts arrival. I hope she adjusts well to her new home. She's definately a lucky baby to have such a sweet mama and daddy. :)
