Simon....Theodore....Alvin.......

Not really.........just our little Squirrel friends......

I know some people don't like squirrels but I love to watch and shoot them (with my camera)....and yes I know they are from the rodent family but you just got to admit that they are "so cute".
By the way I took my window screens down in the kitchen (just above the sink) to get better pics...those darn things just get in the way of a good shot. 

These were taken Saturday through my kitchen window... 
without the screens....
much much better!
 
 You just gotta admit that this little fellow is the cutest....the first pic looks like a garden statue.

These pics were taken this morning on our back deck......
 looks as though it's saying his/her prayer before breakfast.
 
So sweet....stopped to give me a pose.....yeah right!













Hope you have had a great weekend and hope you enjoyed my little squirrel friends!

Until Next Time......

God Bless

Enjoying Mother Nature & Her Beauty.......

There is so much "Beauty" around us that God provides us to enjoy.....
we just have to take the time to "look" around.......

As I was driving up my driveway coming home from work.......
These beautiful little flowers caught my eye.....
they were growing right in the middle of all the green at the edge of our woods.....
In the 14 yrs we have lived on this property, I do not remember seeing these little flowers until today....or maybe it's because they were all in this one little spot.....no other flowers around but just the same I think they are splendid!
Cute as a button!
I have had other wildflowers come back year after year but it was the first time I ever noticed these little jewels.....they are more than welcome to come back next year.
 
Looking out my kitchen window.....I had a visitor.....a pretty  female cardinal.

Don't forget to feed & water our sweet feathered friends!

 God Bless

Fresh Scent......

Don't you just love driving by  "Fresh" plowed ground.......aah...the aroma....I love smelling dirt after it has been tilled!

 Driving to work I see fields that have been plowed and I get excited thinking about how in a few weeks I will see small growth of whatever the farmer has planted. I can not imagine how long this took when farmers only had mules & ox instead of the tractors we have today.

Our Tulip Poplar trees have been in bloom......the aroma of these blooms are so sweetly scented. I try to get out and enjoy this wonderful fragrance as much as possible, they only last a couple of weeks.

Then there is the Honeysuckle...what a sweet fragrance. The other day while our youngest grandson (4yrs) & I went for a walk I showed him how to get the juice from the Honeysuckle...he thought this was pretty cool!

What kind of Fresh Scents have you enjoyed lately around your part of God's Country?
