Loving The Earth

I was washing the summer dishes when they arrived.

Her friend just watched from outside the fence.


She jumps on the fence, then the ground, both coming & leaving the yard





Some color finally, no hummer yet..but the migration map shows they're here.





Yesterday just a teeny bit of color


The Redbud


My Weeping Cherry yippee, the birds eat the cherries as soon as they ripen




A new fountain

The Barred Owl Box..not much color on Saturday

View from my bedroom windows

  10. Deena,

    Oh, the turkeys. I love them and would enjoy seeing them up close. She is beautiful. You must have some good snacks in your yard.

    Love all the photos. I always enjoy visiting with you. Sorry I am so late getting here, but joys abound here and at the Singing Woods blog.

    My joys:

    Hearing from YOU!
    Grandsons who phone and say bye bye, love you.
    Tulips that are blooming in my flower garden.
    Meeko and his antics.
    Babies.
    God's love.

    Take care and so glad you are feeling better.

    Blessings,
    Mary

  13. So glad you are happy! My fav photo is the one out your window of the owl box with the bare tree branches that will soon be green but aren't yet. Such promise!

    My joys are daffodils and doggies.

  20. Love the photos! So glad you are feeling better!!!! (PS-I was disappointed in the results of Idol, too--couldn't understand it, but I guess at least some of the time, it's more about popularity with the voters, instead of talent.) Have a wonderful, wonderful day!

  27. Our lawn will be mowed the second time already. Everything is lush and bright greens. Our lilac bush is in bloom. Air conditioning has been on. Everyone is nesting in every bird house available. My favorite every year is the robin that makes a nest outside our bedroom window under the eve on the curve of the rain gutter. Every year I am amazed through some of the worst spring winds and storms. I myself wake in the night afraid of the strong lightning and rains, then I peek to see if she is alright and there she is snuggled in and just "being a mother" not even minding all the thunder. I have gotten a lot of strength from the robins who choose our home as their own. I always save their nests when the season has passed. Lots to learn from nature as you already know.
    Thanks for sharing your beauty.

  31. We just bought the exact same fountain Deena - and thank goodness it's working well. It replaces a similar one which died - and I do love to hear the water trickling.

    Great bird pics - and you the cutest 'bird' of all, but watch out for those Swiffers - I tripped over mine and almost broke my neck!!

    Glad you and Rich are enjoying life in the singing woods - my love and prayers go out to you as each day brings you closer to better health.
