First I have a bit of sad news..

For all of you that have been following along

each week as I post about all of the nests and

new baby birds and eggs we have in our yard..

I'm sorry to tell you all,

But we have lost each and every

one of them.

It's all a mystery to me.. One minute

all four nests were full of eggs including

the bluebird nest which had already begun to hatch..

then suddenly they were all gone.

No sign of any broken eggs in the nest

or by the nest... nothing.

I did however find a few of these lil spots dug out in our

pine islands located near each of the nest.. and spotted

a cat hiding in the one you see below.

It was so sad cleaning out the empty nests..

I read on the internet that sometimes when houses

are placed to close together.. other birds will rob

eggs from other bird nest.

So once we cleaned them out we placed them further apart

and hopefully we'll have some more build with better futures.

On to better news..

Here is my first tomato on my topsy turvy..

I know.. I'm silly.. but I'm so excited!

Last week Ashley and I had to run a few errands.. so I thought

I'd take you all along with us.

We were forever behind this truck..

I just knew that thing was gonna bounce right

off of the back of that truck.

This beautiful covered bridge is located on the county

line.. An unexpected surprise as you pop around the curve.

Ashley hopped out of the truck and got this awesome shot

so you all could share in the beauty.

We stopped off and had a lil lunch here..

Ashley's favorite place.

We both stuffed ourselves.

Afterwards we had to walk off those FuddBurgers..

What better place than.. One of my favorite places

Pier 1 Imports.

Got some goodies for my 4th of July tablescape!

Saw this funky lil Urkle Mobile..

Ashley loved it of course..

My big ole patooty wouldn't fit in it lol..

I'd look like HR Puff N Stuff.

Ashley's favorite colors are pink and purple..

So she couldn't resist taking a picture of these flowers

at the entrance to the shopping center.

After shopping we had to drop off an pickup some things

for Jeff at the Wildlife Federation..

As we stepped out of the truck.. this is what we

spotted..

A Four Leaf Clover.

Out back behind the Federation building they

have a few pavillions that they rent out

for reunions and such..

There are also Nature Trails that you can walk..
Each trail has little markers that tell about the wildlife

in the area.

Sometimes.. if you're lucky

you'll get to see a few of these lil fellows.
Not a very good picture .. but it is a little deer.

We kinda spooked him because we were in the truck.

At the end of the road trail are these

Honey Bee Boxes..

There were about 10 .. and yep they were active.

I hope you enjoyed tagging along with us on our lil

outting. Make sure you head over to Susan's and

see what everyone else has in store.

Thank You For Visiting

Have A Blessed Day,
