The Bluebirds Are Here!!

 

The skies were gray, but this little bright spot warmed my heart. He will soon be setting up housekeeping in one of my hubby's  little houses. 

 

More little harbingers of spring.......

  

........and the sweet smell of the rosemary attracted this little honeybee.

Care to Join Me on another Country Drive?

In between our rainy days, we are having so really beautiful spring-like days here. It is so hard to stay indoors when it is so gorgeous outside!

 

This drive took us down a rarely used, one lane road.....

   

  

We went by some old farms......

 

A lone sentinel........

  

And yes, the cows are happy out here in California....

 

An orchard in bloom........ah, spring!

So, what do you do if you don't have chickens?

Why, you go down the road to someone who lives nearby, and visit their chickens!

 

Fresh Eggs - Let's hear that again......

  

Now, these just were not ordinary chickens, but Araucana or Ameraucana chickens, and they laid the most beautiful colors - but the nice brown eggs will cook up just as good.

  

Now, for a nice breakfast! 

There is a Little Girl on my Front Porch who wants to Wish you a Happy Valentines Day!

The Sun is out and my little bloomers are awake - Happy Spring from California!

Photos of the Day

       Well, Mother Nature paid little attention to my daffodils, and listened to that ground hog - so we have had blustery, rainy weather. But don't you worry, my little yellow bloomers will be ever so bright and pretty when that sun comes back out!

   This was taken at early morning sunrise - looking northwest from our back porch. 

 

.......there's a storm a brewin'.........

 

.....too wet to work in the fields....

 

How do ya like our roads? They make for an interesting photo shoot, as we drive along.....

 

The rain is letting up, and the blue sky is showing through.

 

I call this one "rain shine".

 

The rain showers filled up the stream by the Old Henley Ranch barn.

These little mini daffodils were peeking out of the periwinkle this morning.....and there was a pair of robins and a male bluebird in my back yard this morning. Can spring be not far behind?
