Bluebirds ...Round 2

>> Sunday, June 20, 2010

Can't believe it, but we have a newly constructed bluebird nest with 1 egg. We had suspected they were going to nest again after they began building a nest in the "white" house. They then abandoned it and began building one in the "cedar" house last week.

We think it's the same pair because they have young immature birds hanging out with them. As it turns out, young juvenile birds will sometimes stay with the parents and help raise a 2nd brood.

Very exciting! The watch and wait continues! And something else funny when I think of it...with the last nesting, the first eggs began hatching on Mother's Day and here we go this time with the 1st egg being laid on Father's Day. What's the chance of that happening?

Zinnia's

>> Monday, June 14, 2010



The front bed of Zinnia's has started to bloom quite nicely. Lots of different colors and the green "Envy" ones are especially pretty.

Here's a little arrangement I whipped up this afternoon along with a couple of sunflowers.

I'm trying a flower preservative recipe that's supposed to keep them fresh for a week, so stay tuned. If it works, I'll share it with you.

Skronsk Graduates!

>> Tuesday, May 18, 2010


Can't believe I didn't realize how dark this photo was and I was in full sun! And it's the only one I took!




The mountains were beautiful and so was my first born son. Brought tears to my eyes as people gathered in the Quad to see the 2010 graduating class of UNCA.

Such pride and overwhelming love for Skronsk as his name was called and I was so proud of my boy!
