Our Green Acre....

Around our yard....

 One of God's promises to us!

Gazinnias on deck table

 Not everything in our backyard garden is vegies....love me some dahlias!

 The grapevines recovered from the freeze!  Now to keep the deer away!

 Yummmm....I can already taste that honey...actually, I did!

 Worker and nurse bees caring for that brood!

 The new hive is looking good...capped honey on the top left...brood in the center.

 
Lovin' those summertime flowers!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there in blogland!   Each mother and each mother's situation is unique, but  as mothers, we have all brought life into this world...life that was fashioned in our wombs by the Creator Himself!  Meditate on that one for a while....WOW!

Spring and summer are promising to be full of activities and challenges....a lot of them are already in progress.  Last weekend was spent in the Nashville area with family and friends, and this past Friday and Saturday my  hubby was in Lynch, KY working on a project with a group of guys from our church (more on that later in the week).

For today, well, I thought I would share a couple of "awww" type photos from our yard....the kind of moments that make me laugh, make me smile....just make my day!

This was one of those "make me smile" moments...

Downy woodpecker

 Yes, he's on the hummingbird feeder....and, yes, he's drinking from it!
BTW - the hummingbirds have already been visiting, too.

These irises didn't bloom last year....they had been planted right next to the foundation and under the overhang...i.e., no sun.  I think they are MUCH happier where they are, don't you?

Checking to see if there are any tenants...

And yes, there are!   Four adorable baby blue birds....one of those "made me smile" moments.

Now, all of these pretties have left the nest and ventured out on their own.  I can relate, Momma Bird....all of our "babies" have left the nest and are making lives of their own....we just pray that the love and prayers that we have (and still are) investing in them will make a  positive impact on their lives.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
