Blooms in my yard....









not bad for the end of  March.....
Can't believe how fast this week has gone by...
What is your favorite snack when watching a movie at home?
I love popcorn...not microwave...but the kind
my hubby cooks on top of the stove...
he pops it with olive oil...with cheese cubes....
or I like fruit and cheese....
a nice glass of red wine is always nice too...

Nutty Squirrels....














they are on the move...and every where you look....
eating...running...climbing....
I know they can cause a lot of damage...
but they are so much fun to watch....






headed to the next feeder....

we have a group every year....and they build in the same spots...
I guess they are getting use to me too....
I can get a lot closer....

A pretty visitor..



I've been seeing these for a few weeks now...
Finally one decided to be still....


it actually let me take a ton of photos...

as it filled up on nectar from the honeysuckles...







so now you can add butterfly watching to my list.....
