We finally saw the new neighbor who built a nest in our rhododendron bush. It’s Momma Robin and her eggs! We’re so excited to watch and see when the baby robins hatch. What a wonderful thing to have happen outside our window!

Look what we found outside our window! A bird’s nest! We can’t get high enough to see if there are any eggs in it, but my hubby saw a bird in there yesterday. We’re going to keep watching and see if we get any baby birds. Stay tuned!

I just love seeing the Lillies of the Valley popping up in my yard in the spring. They seem like little bells. When I was a child, I imagined they were little church bells, hanging in tiny steeples, merrily ringing the noon time hymn.

We’re having one of those little rain showers right now, the kind that just dampen the ground. I love these little showers because they give me the opportunity to photograph the tiny drops of rain as they rest on my plants.

Our hanging strawberry plant from last summer left us a surprise-babies! There are babies in my herb garden blooming like crazy. What a nice gift!
