Bath Time
I enjoyed watching this robin one morning. I wanted to capture a shot of her pulling a worm out of the ground, but she was too fast for me. The next time I looked out the window, she was taking a bath. Are you watching me? Then I’m out of here. I appreciate privacy when I bathe. […]

The Daffodils In Our Yard
They are adding the color of yellow to our mostly brown woodlot. They will always remind me of my dad. Daddy loved daffodils. Some of ours came from his daffodil bed. From the Internet: Daffodils are attractive trumpet-shaped perennial flowers that bloom from bulbs during the spring. They are considered to be one of the most […]

Springtime Variety
Early April I am enjoying springtime more than ever ~ after the l-o-n-g winter… …and seeing flowers with fresh joy. Sunshine on flowers is delighting my eyes.

Enjoying A Birthday Supper With Jenna
Monday, April 7 Her restaurant of choice. We like eating at Texas Roadhouse, but had never been to this location in Palmyra. I especially enjoyed the drive – over back roads that I rarely travel.

April 1 ~ Waxing Crescent Moon
I love to see the moon on a dark clear night. The moon phase calendar tells me it was a “waxing crescent” moon on April 1. 4% of it was visible and it was 2 days after new moon. Though the moon is ever-changing to our eyes with its waxing and waning, it is still the […]

The Piano Recital – Miscellaneous
In my entry yesterday, I wanted to focus on the recital and each student, so didn’t post these. Jared before the recital. He wanted a suit – would have really liked “tails” – because that is how Tom and Jerry dress for recitals. 🙂 Yes, the cartoon characters. Jere took him to Salvation Army where they found […]
