The Delights of Home

Dutch Irises

Bearded Irises

I have to take their picture every Spring

Momma and juvenile Bald Eagles right outside my door

Just Returned

from a week-long trip to San Francisco, CA.  It was my first trip cross-country.  It was a great trip, and it was great to get back home.  :)

Spring Blooms

First Dresden 'Wheel' (I love it!)

First Wild Geranium blossom

Spring Phlox

Strawberries are blooming

Bayley and Marlee are fascinated by the TINIEST turtle we have ever seen

Bayley just can't figure this little guy out

Hope

"Hope"

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -- 

That perches in the soul -- 

And sings the tune without the words --

And never stops -- at all -- 

And sweetest -- in the Gale -- is heard -- 

And sore must be the storm -- 

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -- 

I've heard it in the chillest land -- 

And on the strangest Sea --

Yet, never, in Extremity,

It asked a crumb -- of Me.
