The beauty of nature

Yesterday I took the ole golf cart for another ride armed with my camera. I was able to capture some really neat pictures of sparrows and how the momma and daddy work together to feed their young. We have 2 birdhouses in our front yard, mainly set up for the beautiful bluebirds but a family of sparrows nabbed this one.

Making their plan here.





The male gets the food for the babies and the female stands guard. The male also feeds the babies. Unlike a lot of human males I know!









I don't know if she is calling her mate or what. I don't remember hearing anything.









Then it starts all over again. After all, the babes need lots of food items to grow up!



When I first rounded the corner behind the birdhouse in the golf cart I scared them off so I parked just this side of the garden and waited. It didn't take long for them to come back to their home. It was worth waiting for.

My Sweet Sweet Babies

How I love my dogs. I took these pictures this morning and I just had to share them with you.

Started with this one.







Oh my! What dolls! Hi Mom!













I'm sleepy Momma.



Nap time.

Nice view!

I took this picture the other evening as I was out on the golf cart looking at nature. I thought it was right nice.



I am so blessed to have what I have. A loving family, wonderful dogs, my beloved horses and a nice place to live. It is out in the country with no neighbors within 300 yards. Love that as I am not much of a neighbor kind of girl. I don't know why, I just enjoy solidarity.

Yesterday my husband helped a neighbor bale hay and in turn we got 47 square bales free! Well, not free because Joe worked his little hiney off but it is some really good hay for the horses. We have to be smart and arrange for our winter hay now while the prices are good (hopefully). We are using some of our stimulus check to buy it. I think we will be able to get the 12 or so round bales from our same neighbor. After all, it is good hay and I would rather give it to a friend than someone in the business just to make money. This hay came from the Texas Longhorn Ranch (pictures featured on an earlier post.....I don't yet know how to do the linky thing to get you there). Mr and Mrs Cannon are such sweet people. We are very fond of them.

Again, life is good. I never tire of saying that.
