We're back

We have been so busy lately, but I feel like we have not accomplished much of anything. The rain was on and off for more than a week and kept us indoors and unmotivated. Yet, we were welcomed back to garden with beautiful color. I need this because the vegetable garden isn't doing much without the warm days and sunshine. We do have more lettuce coming up and I can see some sunflowers poking through, but otherwise nothing exciting.

Matt's mother came to spend the weekend with us for Mother's Day. We had a wonderful visit with her and took her and my parents out to dinner. Not much later we had another visitor. While out on the deck, I was taken by surprise when I saw a baby robin just sitting on the railing looking around. It was still quite fluffy and looked a little dazed. But it held our attention for quite a while until I had to get Goliath inside since he was intent on trying to smell it. I still remember several years ago when another baby robin caught his attention. He followed it around the yard as it hopped and chirped, but he never got really close to it. He was just curious. Yet, that was too much for the mother and she proceeded to dive after him until he came crying to me. So even though I was excited to see this year's baby, I knew the mother could not be far away, and I have an unnatural fear of things flying around my head. Time to move inside.

I am hoping that with the long weekend, we can get back into the yard and work or at the least hang out in the hammock or read on a garden bench. Have a great weekend.
