The birds and the bees

actually just the birds, and a little fish...or lack of, thats a different story, first things first. My neighbors left for the summer, so these sweet things moved in...
Its been so fun to have them as nieghbors! Their sweet chips when mom brings food is adorable. I guess i've never watched birds very closely but i've been amazed at how hard these babies mom is working to bring them food! She's gone, gets back, is there for 2 seconds dropping off food and then is gone again to look for more, its sweet to watch.

And now the fish, or lack thereof? We went fishing...again...and lost our lure...again....without catching anything....again...., i'm beginning to think fishing isn't really for us...
But here's the happy fisherman anyway...not actally fishing since we forgot to get the camera out while we there but here's him getting the poles ready
So i guess i have some to say about bee's too since these wouldn't be lookin as good as they are without them...
First tomato (above)
First pepper (below)
I can't wait to be able to harvest them!

One more thing, this sweet couple stopped in on us while we were fishing up at 2nd dam, the happy duo was driving through on their way back from a much needed anniversary vacation. Thanks for stopping, it was good to see you!

I can't believe you have a tomato, and a pepper, congratulations. Your green thumb is coming through. It was good to see your family. Sorry the fishing didn't go better but it was a great day to be a the lake.
