Baby Update

Looks like the babies are ready to leave the nest!

As I was trying to take this picture Mama came out of nowhere to let me know she wasn't happy---flying and swooping and yelling DON'T MESS WITH MY BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And so even though I've watched this process very closely over the last few weeks, I continue to be amazed at the development and growth and instinct in these young new living things on this earth. Sounds like the makings of a good sermon.

Staycation Day #4

Well, well, well.....I SURVIVED!  More importantly....Sweet Sarah Survived ME on a staycation.

Today was a good day.  Good food, sunshine, gardening all at our own pace.

There aren't any action shots [honestly, why am I incapable of remembering to take pictures in the midst of a project?]

Enjoy....I'm off to rest up before going back to work.

Sweet Sarah's famous French Toast waffles.  Yes Please!  Holy moly these babies are GOOD!  Not a bad way to start the morning.

Some of the planting work....some still not done, ala the box o' plants on the ground.

Bed cleaning and container creating.  Yes, yes.  that's my big fat finger in the way.  Disregard.  Do note, however, that GINORMOUS hosta!

Seriously!  Does this give you more perspective?  And it's only MAY!!!!  Good Lord, she's taking over the side of the house.  We named her Audrey after the Little Shop of Horrors.

Just in case you thought I was exaggerating!  

Here's a baby update.  This is more a picture of their sh%$ than of them.  [as cute at these little things are, that pile of poo on the front edge of the nest is disgusting!  OH!  and do you see the egg that wasn't?  Somehow mama missed the nest.]  They very much look like birds now and are stretching and sunning themselves often.  

Our last staycation meal. [bring on the cleanse tomorrow!]  Ribs Rendezvous Style.  They were fabulous!  Paired with homemade sweet potato mashers and some corn bread....home cookin' at its finest.
