A few photos

I found a roll of film on top of the refrigerator this week; it had been on top of 2 other refrigerators before this one. Anyway, I thought the pictures were pretty adorable. I hope you like them too!

News from the Hawkes' Nest

Greetings from the Hawkes' Nest!

For those of you who are real 'newbies' to blogs, a 'blog' is slang for a 'web log'. The idea is to set up notes that everyone can read instead of needing to email individuals, hope they don't have problems downloading your pictures, send you into the trash by accident because you have too many addresses in the 'to' line, etc.

By the way, you'll see a place to post comments. Blogs are really more fun when lots of people post comments and everyone else can then read them. So post lots!

Anyway, I'm sitting in the sun room watching the last of the hummingbirds squabble over the feeders. We're down to about 4 or 5 now, vs. the 15 or so we'd have at one time before. Even while their numbers are dwindling, the other winter birds are starting to come back. I saw a V of Canadian geese coming in low yesterday, looking for their pond that they spend the winter in nearby. All signs, except the thermometer, point to fall. I imagine it won't be long, though, for the thermometer to start dipping, too.

You can't really see them in the above picture of our house, but below are a few pictures I took of some of the flowers in our front yard. I'm told that Mums are the flowers of summer's last gasp. If you click on them, they look pretty nice. When you walk out our front door, the colors just sort of smack you in the face, and I like that. :-)

Meanwhile, I'll see what I can do in terms of getting some family and more personal pictures on here, which really, is pretty much the main reason why people look at blogs anyway.

More soon,
Love,
Megan
