Everything is blooming much earlier than last year. I was surprised to see that these had opened outside of Sophia’s window earlier this week.


I love when these irises begin to open.


The bleeding hearts have been blooming for a couple of weeks. They are also a favorite of mine.


A pair of purple finches have decided to make a nest in one of my hanging basket Impatiens. I took this photo when there was one lonely egg in the nest. Now there are three. It makes watering my plant a bit complicated.

We also found that the robin’s nest under the eave of our house has a fresh set of eggs in it. We have quite a busy backyard.
I hope to get a post in this weekend to recap Sebastian and Sophia’s last couple of weeks of school filled with field trips and activities, my birthday, baseball season and a few other things going on recently. The guys will be busy with baseball all day Saturday while Sophia and I will be traveling to a grad party for my nephew. On Sunday we will be celebrating Sophia’s birthday with her friends at a bowling alley. On second thought, the next post may not happen until next week.
