Babies

Last weekend we were in the backyard looking at all the wonderful iris' blooming, sticking our noses in them to breath their wonderful fragrances, and our daughter noticed something rustling on the ground.  She thought it was a bird gathering nesting materials, but this is what she saw...  

 

It was a nest of bunnies at the base of a birch tree!  We were all so excited to see such small bunnies and so many.  There were at least 10 in the nest that we could count.  When we tried to check the nest the next day, the mother rabbit has completely covered the nest with leaves and rabbit fur--the babies could not been seen at all.  Good mother rabbit.

Today I went to check on them and the nest was empty...bunnies mature very quickly and can reproduce in six months!  (Don't say this blog isn't informative!)

When we turned around and looked up...(sorry for the awful picture, but I had to show you)

It was a robin sitting on her nest!  We are a wildlife nursery.  A few days later we discovered another nest  on the front of the house--the problem in the front is bird droppings EVERYWHERE!  Not a pretty sight, I'll spare you those photos...for now.

Never one to leave you with a bad photo, stop and smell our lilacs...

 As always, I appreciate you stopping by.

I hope you're enjoying the miracle of recreation this Spring.  Put your nose in some flowers and just breathe....aaaahhhh!

Easter Parade, Part 2

Continuing last week's theme, it's more Easter decor at highpointcircle.  Strike up the band, here comes the parade.

This is a little family of bunnies that I've had forever, really, so long they may be antiques by now!  I love them because they are identical to our family--a mommy, a daddy, a daughter and a son.  Sentimental, I know, but that is me to a T.  They sit on the side-by-side in the piano room.  To see that tour click here.

They have nice detailing on their clothes and that was what attracted me to them.  If you have been reading this blog for awhile, I've mentioned that my mother was a extremely talented seamstress.  Because of growing up in fabric shops and always feeling the fabrics and notions, I still gravitate toward textiles and their properties.

 

And because I don't think it's proper to leave a blog post looking at a lady's behind, I'll show you the entry chest decked out for Easter too.  I mean, really, I had to for propriety, right?

Hope this Lenten Season is glorious for you and yours.  My love find your heart overflowing with joy!  Please come back next Tuesday and the parade will continue.  I have a very special post waiting in the wings for Holy Week.  I have been patiently saving it for a bit and it is not like me to be patient!

As always, thank you for reading and for your kind, kind comments.
