Pretty Little Swallows

Last week when we went to the doctors,I was about to sit down and as I looked out the window I saw all these cute little birds (swallows I think) sitting on a rock together. I remember earlier this year they were making a nest in the alcove about the offices.

And they had a brood of babies. Aren't they pretty?

 

Especially compared to the birds at our house, our little sparrows.

 

I spotted this bunny the other day not far from those pretty flowers and butterfly I posted about yesterday!!

 

Whoo-Hoo, I heard from Betty, my friend from Australia. She isn't far away and will come visit next week. This is so exciting! Have you met in person, anyone you have met on the internet? Or maybe a pen pal? (If you follow Susan Branch, you know that she has met several different times, her pen pal from England!) 

 

Hope you're in for a fun and/or relaxing weekend! Our weather today was terrible HOT, we had a Heat Index of 104. It was also very humid! This will last for the next week or more...smile..

  

How long can you sing??

 

I promised you a story about the bunny rabbit. The other day it was raining and I spotted this bunny taking a bath out in the rain! smile.. See the rain drops on the grass??

 

There actually were two of them out there in the yard. I spotted them sitting together, so I turned my camera on...and zing...off they ran. Chasing each other around and around...ha...ha! It was so funny!!

 

So, I'm not sure if one was a Mommy with her little one. Anyway, all of a sudden the Mommy (maybe) looked around....like...where did it go?? So off she ran...toward the street thinking the little one had headed that way. She was out there looking up and down the street, then off she went down the alley looking for the little one..smile... How entertaining they can be!

 

 

Tom spotted all these birds having dinner on the patio table. ha...ha...

 

Now for that question.."how long can you sing?? Or your favorite singer?" Doesn't take long does it, before we'd (humans) would get hoarse?? So...isn't it amazing how a little wren can sing 'constantly' all day long??? I wonder how they can do it?? Isn't God just wonderful???

 

Hope you had a fun weekend!!

 

Summer in Spring

 

Today when we were coming home I spotted these beautiful tulips. Of course the shot I got (you know as we buzzed by) wasn't very good. So....Tom said would you like me to go around the block so you can get a better picture??..sweet...  Then we spotted more things to take pictures of (which I'll show you tomorrow) and how we finally got back to these gorgeous tulips!!! Aren't they pretty?? Red and "Yellow"!

 

 

Our lilacs are starting to bloom, even if it's small..tomorrow they probably will be in full bloom..I cannot wait!! The fragrance in the air will be AMAZING! I have a question for you..(if you have them where you live) is there more fragrance with the white, lilac or dark purple ones??

 

 

We put out some safflower seeds and the Mourning Doves just love it! And I love them, and am always happy to see them in our yard. Do you have them??

 

 

 

Now..look at the cute little Cotton Tail! It was 94 degrees yesterday, I spotted him/her digging a hole in the garden and laying in it, trying to stay cool. The last picture shows his/her "cotton tail".. smile.. Tom was right..it really is a cotton tail!!

 

Today was another warm one..it was 86 degrees. However, tomorrow is to be only be 68 degrees! Yeah..in a lot of ways..now back to normal temperatures!!!

 

Hope you're in for a nice day tomorrow!

 

 

Baby Hawks and Turkey Buzzards...

 

 

First I just have to share this picture of the twins with you...are they not just the cutest things you've ever seen??? Her mommy called the "baby hawks".  Looked like they were already for the game yesterday...to bad the team lost and by so little..sad... However, the year has just begun!!! smile...

 

 

 

My daughter in Georgia sent me these photos, of what she saw in her yard last week. Doesn't this bunny look healthy?? Looks like he has lots to eat....everything is so green!

 

Looks like she caught a picture of this fawn out her window..."Cuteness" in it's true form.....

 

Now here is her 'tired' adorable little dog Camy. The first time Rusty went down there to visit...those two had a ball...running around (and around) the house. Brenda had a little 'water fountain' in front of  her fireplace, and they'd STOP...get a drink and off they'd go again..smile... So guess what we had to buy when we got home...ha..ha..

 

She noticed this neighborhood cat sleeping on her deck.. Pretty isn't it??

 

And can you believe? A turkey buzzard??? Wow...I don't think I've ever seen one before.. How about you? Have you seen they before??

 

 

And this pretty one of the bee enjoying some sweet nectar!

 

Tonight (just like many other ones) when Tom opened the door, I could hear the cicada's-boy are they noisy little burgers...smile... But to me they are the sound of fall. And since September is here, that tells me the season is soon upon us. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
