Mothers Day 2013
One of Jen’s peonies bloomed to herald Mothers Day.
We started the day in traditional style, with breakfast in bed: broccoli and cheddar omelet, locally sourced bacon, fruit, toast, and coffee. Sarah made duct tape roses, and a pinwheel for the garden.
On Saturday after soccer practice, Sarah and I stopped by the Phantom Gardener for some Mothers Day gifts: left to right, a blue butterfly bush, a pink dogwood tree, and a lilac.
Sunday afternoon, while Jen gardened, I looked in on our large population of herons. I counted seven, each in a different nest.
Here’s an oriole. We hear them frequently but they’re hard to spot.
I think this is some kind of sparrow? Please feel free to identify it in the comments.
One response so far
I would identify it as a small bird!
