Happy Mother’s Day, moms! I hope you are having a lovely day wherever you are. To my mom, I hope the weather is cooperating on Cape Cod and you are having a cup of tea at the beach! Thinking of you today. 🙂
My family was very kind to me today. Dear hubby provided the hanging flower baskets that I love for my shepard’s hook in the backyard:
My two sweetest of daughters presented me with a gift bag of things they knew that I would appreciate:
The green packet contains a new set of herb snips and the brown box contains these:
Biscotti! Yum!
While I was outside photographing my gifts, I noticed a second robin’s nest in the yard. Remember I told you (I think?) about the nest on the downspout? There’s a new one on the floodlights:
It surprised me to see it there – I swear it was built overnight. I swung my lens around to take a picture of the other nest
and I couldn’t believe it – while I stood there with the camera pointed at it, the robin arrived to sit on the nest!
I’m hoping I’ll get lucky again sometime in the coming weeks and get a shot of the babies.
I also took some photos of those hummingbird feeders I mentioned in a previous post. I filled and hung them up yesterday, despite not seeing any hummingbirds just yet. I’m sure this is the time of year they arrive back in this area so hopefully I will see them soon.
I found this one while shopping with my mom on the Cape and just loved the unique antique bottle look of it. Mom saw my enchantment with it and promptly decided to buy it for me as an additional birthday gift!:
I just noticed the little hummingbird design on it today while I was taking pictures!
This feeder was given to me by my dad for my birthday. The “petals” are made from recylced cans! Very cool looking!
The lilacs have become heavy with bloom and with the much-needed rain we’ve had the past couple of days, but they are still gorgeous and perfuming the air and bringing me joy each time I see and smell them.
I hope you all are having a lovely day, enjoying the things you love.
