its been a week already?

where does the time go?

so much going on and yet its the same old thing...

its all about the birds and blooms here...

this one is here to stay, I think...

coming every day!

and the iris are going full bloom right now...

someone is getting a bit cocky at the feeder...

maple seed pods are everywhere!

indigo bunting...

I love these!

clematis...

been doing laundry...

dishes...

like they never go away!

bird love!

and the neighbor found him last night in his garage...

so guess who's bottle feeding?

Craig named him Diddy...

and that's the latest...

we still need rain- started watering already...

missed the bad storm that went south of us last night...

and it was nasty, so that's ok...

just a normal storm is ok with me...

have good weekends!

daily news...

there's a new guy in town...

a brown thrasher!

things are growing...

honey suckle...

we got half an inch of rain last night...

but I think it might have been more since most of the rain was going sideways!

and we don't have a wind sock for the rain gauge...

the city lake...

and the corn is up!

this is the field at the end of our street...

doing better here every day...

getting all those little things done around here that have been put off for way too long...

every day, something gets done and I go to the next thing...

no outside work...

we are pretty much caught up until we start planting...

will get the garden area worked up this weekend...

won't plant until later...

we have plenty of time...

got a mini heat wave going on here...

could this be the signs of a long, hot and dry summer?

I sure hope not!

we need rain...

year 2 on this area...

lilacs need rain...

we are supposed to get some today...

columbine are starting to bloom...

allium, and I didn't plant it...

allergies are happening...

ferns are up...

clematis had one bloom open...

if we don't get rain, we need to start watering...

I have been going and going here...

haven't felt this good in a long time...

but I am sore and achy...

but its a good sore...

:)

have a fun day!

a work in progress...

we worked here over the weekend...

$5 bedspread- online rummage sale...

$1 pillow cases to match- Dollar Tree...

and its been kid tested, mother approved...

bought months apart...

new lights for the island...

lilacs are blooming and you can smell them on the deck...

love lilacs...

all that work so they can do this...

and this...

hmmmm... 

he's always the first to test it out...

I'm not doing this right...

have good weeks!

wonderful day out and we spent it inside...

rearranging the kitchen...

all to move the kitchen table in front of the windows...

so we can look at to this while we eat...

but today we head out...

the deck, the scarecrows and some other things on the list...

and both guys are home, too...

we have 3 beautiful male orioles and 2 females that I have seen so far...

and the boys fight all the time!

have good days!
