the grounds

i'm proud of my yard. i've never had one, really. i've always tended other people's yards and gardens. so if i seem over zealous about the little things living outside my house, well, it's because i'm in love with it all. we walk outside just about every day to inspect the apple trees...you can tell that everyone is soooo happy about all the attention they're getting!

proud roses...these are only two of the four rose bushes we have. the white, and the other red haven't bloomed yet.

 

apples to be !!

the tiniest little humming bird nest...i've been watching her sit in her nest between laps to the feeder...i don't know yet if she has eggs, but she is definitely territorial and protective whenever i'm sitting close by
