Birds and Blooms

 

The notorious wren is back.  She's not making a nest in the flower pot pictured above, but she picked the same location of a hanging flower basket for her nest again.

The hummingbirds are back too.  I did not have a camera on hand, but they are enjoying the early blooms already.

We just may get to dry out for a day, but after this morning's rain.  At least for a day or maybe even two, before it returns (again).

There is always something good in everything.  Including frustrating times, or moments, like days and days of rainfall.

I finished another book, tried another new treat recipe (more to try), and actually relaxed for once.  My husband grilled us the most delicious burgers too.  We had chopped up mushrooms and such, for camping, and they made the best swiss mushroom burgers I have ever had.  Speaking of which, it reminded me I still have homemade garlic scape butter in the freezer to use up too.

I harvested more cleavers in between downpours, and plan to freeze a good amount of it.  I should clarify that bit.  I am making several cold infusions, and will drain them in a day or two and then freeze some of it.

I have new flowers to take to the cemetery, but have not had a full day to drive over to place them.  My husband insisted we buy a new solar light for Mom's.  I do love it.  I need to find new flowers for my grandparents too.  Dad and Mom are not in the same cemetery, but within a drive of each other.  If one of my parents prayed for me when I was younger, I would say it was my Dad.

I did some work on my blog during the rainy days, and I am pondering if I should put a collage photo or photo at the very top.  I'm wondering if readers are enjoying the new look.
