First Bouquet

Tonight I cut a variety of blooms from our flourishing gardens. They make quite a statement with their bold colors! (Please pardon the amateurish arrangement--I'm still learning.)

The Culprit

This morning I saw a flash of movement by the cauliflower plants. The mysterious case of the garden snacker is now solved. He's small but he has a big appetite, based on the size of the missing chunks of plant we see in the garden.

A Trio of Blue

Last year, the mother robin made a nest atop our corner porch post and swooped at us every time we opened the front door. We cleaned up the remains of the nest and put in a make-shift block to prevent it from happening again. This year, she returned and (despite my best efforts to stop her) made a nest in the hanging basket my mom gave us. She's getting used to me peering in the nest each day to look at her perfect blue eggs.
