This week is all about the birds
& blooms. I’ve enjoyed being home & getting better every day. To read
more about my week go here
and here.
[Please note: No Tax Time Pig pics again this week. S/he is located near where I work - about 40 miles south of here. So it will be another week or so before we have any updated pictures. Sob.]

Double lily looking beautiful.

Our next door neighbors brought
us comfort food – chicken casserole!
Robin at Be Still and Know sent me a prayer
shawl – isn’t she the best?
Tuesday,
August 16th
More food from neighbors! I’m
pretty sure that all of this came from their garden. She also brought over
potato salad – yum!
Wednesday,
August 17th
Dr. M’s university sent me flowers. So pretty!
That evening Dr. M & I sat outside and laughed at our
back yard.

I love how the woodpeckers look like they’re working so hard for their food.
One final lily of the season – they’ve been gorgeous!

Terrible, horrible, no good day!
I was SO SICK. I won’t go into details, but I will say that they’re not just
whistling Dixie when they say you should watch your diet when you’re taking
pain meds. This day I only ate about 40 goldfish & then Dr. M made this
nice soup out of the basil & zucchini from our garden. He didn’t want
to try to find the blender, but I kind of like the chunkiness.
Then later we sat out in the
yard again. What a great evening! Here is a house finch & a chickadee being
peaceable at the bird feeder.
The weekly squirrel – Ninja Squirrel!
We had the best time following
this hummingbird around (with our eyes – I wasn’t roaming around the yard
chasing a hummingbird!).

August 20th
Dr. M wandered around this morning
taking pictures of the yard.
Isn't this a cool spider web?
And here is the State of the Bug
– Mavis & I are freshly washed (well I
am – I had my first shower in almost two weeks today!) & reading a book
together.
Go to Sara’s blog here to see the blogs of
all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised with all your mad photography skills that you got pictures of a hummingbird. I have yet to truly succeed.
Loved your pictures this week. The double lilly was gorgeous. I also thought the standing squirrel was precious. I could almost see him line dancing LOL

Love that you are able to sit and relax in your backyard and share what you see through your photos. Love your penguin pillow pet as well...I have secretly always wanted the ladybug one!
