Busking

Its me, Lee. Oh my goodness I cannot believe how fast photos download with highspeed!! This is a picture of my daughter busking at the local farmers market in Stirling this past summer....

Where did the time go?

Oh yeah! I was busy gardening, enjoying summer and just got back from our annual homeschooler campout! So much for the garden wisdom and pics we were all going to share throughout the season. I am definetely a winter computer chick. Time for catching up:) Lee

It's already May!

Its a dark but warm day today and its going to rain any second.....As I went outside, robins were in the yard I assume looking for bugs. The road was covered with worms and I wanted to scoop them up for my garden and then wondered why the robins didnt just come out onto the road to get them? Why isnt the road covered with birds feasting on worms? And why are worms all over the road after it rains? Why not just hang out on the grass? Any ideas? Lee..off to google.

Green heron

I wish I could say I took this picture....but it's one I got off of the internet. I wanted to post this beautiful bird because we have one on our pond! He is very shy though and I haven't been able to get close enough for a picture. (I will have to get out into the duck blind by 5:30...as he was on the pond when I got up at 6am) We have had them for about 3 years now and think/hope they are nesting somewhere down at the pond. Yesterday he was at the pond for most of the day, just standing in the water and catching frogs and tadpoles too I guess. They have an amazing sound too!

Duck blind

Aidan and I decided to sneak down to the pond to take a closer look at the wood ducks (via the woods, so they wouldn't see us approaching) and decided we needed a duck blind at the pond's edge so we could watch them. We used pine branches that we had trimmed off some trees a couple of weeks ago. We stacked and piled them on three sides so we would be able to see them on both ends of the pond. I want to be able to sit down there and be hidden so that the ducks won't notice me. Maybe I'll be able to get some photos too.

Birthday money
