I have the most wonderful #1 son with the most awesome taste in flowers. Maybe he doesn't even realize how he picks just the right gift for me when it comes to birthdays, holidays etc. But he does! My Mother's day flowers have flourished and just keep getting more and more beautiful.
And speaking of children... Mama Robin picked just the right place to house her nest of babies this year. Safe and secure under our deck they waited ... as mama returned over and over again with worms and such to feed their cute little beaks.
Gracie was quite curious about the goings on under there and tried feverishly to unveil the mystery beneath the deck. When I caught her standing on her hind legs and sniffing out the nest I thought it best to put a stop to her shenanigans and G and I put up barriers to keep her out from under there. Oh the torment it must have been to be sniffing through that lattice and know the forbidden was just sniffs away.
Not funny.
The babies grew quickly. Soon mama had them out and about, teaching them to fly on their own.
I couldn't help but wonder, will Mama worry for her babies much like us humans tend to do, now that they are on their own?
Spring is blossoming into vibrant color, finally. Our hydrangeas are budding and showing hope for a flourishing summer of beautiful flowers. Daisy's are plentiful and I can't help but think of my sister when I behold their beauty. Daisy's were her favorite. Oh how I miss her!
Our seasonal camp site is coming along. Not quite ready for overnight just yet... but soon.
Our neighbors look to be real characters.
They seem very nice, though. Really.
A visit to the country store at camp and I was able to purchase my very first comfort food for the freezer. You never know when you might need a scoop or two of butter pecan, right?
Yesterday was Memorial Day and so after an awesome service at the cemetery we took the girls to camp to check it out.
They were impressed. Mostly with the playground.
No snakes. Only one spider. A minor bug bite. It was a good day!
So nice to catch up with you and Gracie and your most adorable grandkids.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool, how you have those little shelters, from rain and etc. Over your camper...
ReplyDeleteDoubt birds worry about their young for long, after they have flown the nest. Very unlike humans. :-)
Adorable baby robin pictures! Wonder what Gracie would have done with them. But good to know we won't get to find out! So how far away from your house is it parked, and will this place be it's permanent home?
ReplyDeleteHow cute with the baby robins! You all must have enjoyed keeping an eye on them! Definitely agree that comfort food is a must, especially if one is "roughing it".

What pretty flowers and what sweet birds. The playground looks awesome, indeed.
