Good enough to eat!

Small Spaces

Beauty is in the small spaces around our busy-ness.

Dandelions…

All our worries are as dandelion fluff upon the wind.

Pileated Woodpecker

OK, so the photo is of a squirrel. You caught me. That’s because by the time I whipped out my camera, the wonderful, foot-high, read-headed bird had zoomed around the tree to stay out of my line of sight! The motion of pulling out the camera froze the squirrel into a pose for me.

But Pileated Woodpeckers! In our back yard! YAY!!!! (and yes, they DO sound like Woody Woodpecker. His song was based on the real bird.)

All of the Jewel Tree

I posted the bud from the Japanese Magnolia a few days ago. The tree is now in full bloom, and actually already dropping petals. When it was covered in buds it looks like gems are all over it. Now it looks like there are fluffy birds in all the branches! I love this tree. In a month or so it will be entirely green as the leaves come out.

Kitties!

Not much cuter than cats in the windowsill, is there? Even when one is glaring at you for getting out the camera!

You all know Dora, on the right. Her mother, Pookah, is the oblivious tiny black kitty in the box on the left.

More Spring

Periwinkles! (I love that word! and Kerfuffle!)

Food. Not. Suitable.

The food in the bowl wasn’t chicken. Fix it. Now.

Lettuce!

It must be Spring. The lettuce is up. Blurry, but up!
