Bird sighting

I just walked outside to throw out the trash and heard the most beautiful songbird...I managed to get a good look at it and found it in the bird book...it's a Brown Thrasher. They are known for their distinctive melodies. I'm going to try and get a recording of his singing.

I got a picture with my 200 mm lens, but you can't see him very well in this picture.




Here's a stock photo showing the Brown Thrasher a lot better!

Hello, friends!

We have had some hits from some neat places and we wish we knew who you were! Leave us a comment...it doesn't take long! We'd LOVE to hear from you! It doesn't bother us who looks at our pictures, but we wonder who we could be in touch with. :-)
Have an awesome day!

View out our bedroom window...

The crabapples are truly at their peak right now. It seems like if I blink my eyes they will be gone and it will be the dog days of summer. How do I keep Spring with me all year long? I just want to savor it!!!!!

Bedroom decorating update

The curtains are hanging! They still need to be hemmed, but they're up and it makes the room look totally different! I like it!

Photo tag

Well, I had a hard time finding a picture in the 4th folder...it didn't have 4 pictures. :-) and then when I chose a different method, the picture that resulted is AWFUL! My Kodak point-and-shoot whacked out on me and all my pictures from our stint in the St. Patrick's Day parade had a pinkish cast to them. Here's one, though it's not the fourth. The fourth one is barely distinguishable.
All for now!

Kind of neat, in an artsy kind of way! :-)

I got tagged by Megan. So those of you that I have tagged, here's what you do:

1. Choose the fourth folder where you store pictures on your computer.
2. Choose the fourth picture.
3. Explain that picture.
4. Tag 4 other people.

Hmmm...who are you?
Kassi, Amy, Anita, Stacie

Another sign of spring...

The bluebirds are back! With 2 houses up now, we hope to get at least one family of bluebirds to stick around. Somehow the sparrows seem to always get in first.
Oh, the bluebirds are so beautiful! Such a brilliant blue flying across the newly green lawn.

Celebrate Spring!

Spring is my favorite season, so it was fun to make these yummy cookies to celebrate the slow, stuttering start of our Spring. The boys enjoyed helping to cut them out and mommy had fun putting her limited decorating talents to work. The colors were pretty anyway! :-)

I hope you are enjoying the beginnings of Spring!




Trevin had to try his hand at the decorating, too...in the bowls, that is. The question is, how much got in the bowl and how much in his mouth? :-)
