We have eggs!!

No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children; for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night. ~Theodore Roosevelt


We have eggs!! Six of them, I tried to get a good clear picture of them for you to see, but this is the best I could do!!




Here is a pic of the mama, ...My mom was right, it's not a nuthatch, I believe it is a wren!! The picture is long distance so it is really grainy, but you can see her pretty well, she wasn't very happy to see me standing on the porch near her nest!  Hopefully she will get used to us coming and going!!





The Lilies are continuing to bloom, the calla's have joined in now too!!






We call this the VT Calla...Jess got it from a plant sale at Virginia Tech (VT) and it is Maroon and Orange....as it should be!!


And my favorite Gladiola is beginning to bloom!!






The flowers Jess gave me are beautiful...and they are growing like crazy!!


...And check out this dude....I HATE spiders, but this one deserved a picture...you notice I didn't get too close!! :)




The teenagers have been keeping our lawn mowed for us!! This is so funny, the eat a little, plop down, eat a little more, get up, plop back down while eating the whole time!! I couldn't resist taking a video for you to watch too!!
