We found a baby bird under the vines early one morning. It was obvious it was frightened because of it’s loud panicky chirp. We learned from one of our library readings that it was fine to touch and rescue the bird, and the mother would continue to care for it.
We carefully returned the bird to its nest. A perfect place to live, under the canopy of the vines, surrounded by a cluster of grapes.
Abigail’s single blooming sunflower towering over her zinnias.
We found a butterfly
We all had to touch it
I like this photo. All three of my little hands which are growing right in front of my eyes.
We were able to harvest blueberries many times from our five thriving bushes!
Yummy!
They really enjoyed picking these tiny berries. This harvester pictured here dropped her full bucket twice. Many of her blueberries were left behind for the birds.
Abigail’s sunflower a couple of weeks later. The butterfly’s and goldfinch are loving this spot!
Jackson regularly carries a mop or broom outside while playing.
For the memory, he pretends it is a weed eater and is pretty much obsessed with keeping the yard and flower beds trimmed.
We harvested beans, peppers, beets, and everyone’s favorite…carrots.
Papaw’s favorite photo.
The consequence of not using pesticides…sometimes critters enjoy our veggies as well.
More beets for pickling.
Summertime in the vines!
If I hadn’t seen it, I might not believe it! Isabela was sitting in this chair moments before I captured the photo. They were screaming…not out of fear but excitement! After the snake spent some time eyeing us, it slithered out of the chair and up into the tree above us and disappeared!
Isabela wants to be just like Abigail and Jackson. Her feet can finally touch the ground. All three have grown enough to swing alone. Three swinging babies playing together.
Memories I will cherish always!
