It is so exciting to get up each morning, grab a cup of coffee and head out the door to see who else calls this land home!
Aw wonderful!!! Amazing how quickly nature recovers... bluebirds fledged this week here at my place, as well as Carolina Wrens, they are hunting in the back yard...bees and butterflies are enjoying the flower beds and I picked a ripe tomato yesterday although its a cherry size, was sweet and juicy. Love your enthusiasm.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOO a ripe tomato and all your wild creatures; what a fabulous place you have created there. It makes our hearts so happy to know kindred out there in the world. :) We love your enthusiasm too! This is LIFE!
