Settling back in...

Now that I have done some weeding, harvesting, and planting and I am really back into the swing of things, I decided to take a walk around the farm to take some pictures of Lissa's gardens. They are all chock full of lilies; all different kinds and colors, they are such beautiful flowers.

John found this orioles nest in a branch that fell.  I have never seen and orioles nest and didn't realize how incredible they are.  Orioles build nests in trees but not on top of branches, they hang from the branches.  I think I can make a pretty good looking nest with my opposable thumb but it is a real accomplishment to have built this nest with just a beak.

I wanted to show all you folks living in the big cities somewhere my commute to and from work everyday...
