New friends

Also while in Maine...

We visited some new friends and got to meet the entire farm. I got a little excited and forgot to keep taking photos and these were the only good ones, but how cute is that little cow? She is the definition of sweetness! (as is Sassy, who's face you can see close up!)

Birds, Bones and Butterflies

ode to the red poppy

I love my red poppies.

Actually I love all my poppies, they are one of my favorite flowers, but these ones are the only blooming at present...

What more can I say!?!

The other day I went to check on the babies in their nest and sadly startled them.

They flew out and scattered.

We got one back in and I am hoping the other 2 are safe and getting a hold on their newly developed wings... I was a bit heartbroken, it was completely accidental.

I am just hoping that the 2 that I couldn't find are big enough to get up in a tree,

I am thinking they might be since they easily fluttered away from me and seemed to be able to get at least a little leverage.

I did go and check on the one still in the nest and he is getting quite curious:

Hoping you are having a sunshiney day!

3 eggs in a nest

Looks like we will be having a few new bird neighbors!

Andy found a few nests around the property,

some with eggs, some old and abandoned.

I still can't get over how vibrant and smooth and amazing these are!

And such detailed nests!!!
