The weather here has been absolutely gorgeous, so I ventured away from my studio this past weekend and we spent some time outside in our yard. I thought I'd share some pictures that I took while we were enjoying the beautiful afternoon.

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥ We walked along the creek, the dogs looked for rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels and snakes... Happily I did NOT see any snakes!! The farm next to us has now been planted. We think it's corn, so soon we won't have the view that we do right now, it'll be rows and rows of tall corn for a while. I remember the last time they planted corn, it looked so bare when they harvested it, it took a while for me to get used to the open space again. I'm wondering what our dogs, Izzy and Emmi will think of the corn when it starts getting tall... Izzy is used to being able to see everything across the farmland and keeps a good eye on all of it, making sure nothing scampers into our yard. She likes to sit at the edge of our property and watch for the longest time. She wasn't with us yet the last time they grew corn.

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥ Looking around our yard, one of my favorite trees is our Red Maple, and I also love our Weeping Willows. I always thought Weeping Willows were such romantic trees, George... Not so much! He thinks they are a bit messy... He's right, they do shed their leaves a lot! Among many other kinds of trees in our yard, we have quite a few Black Walnut trees and a few Apple trees... We also have a tree stump in our front yard that has petrified mushrooms on it, so I took a picture of it.

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ♥ ...Oh, and an update on those baby Robins; Yes, they really did grow into their very BIG beaks! Only three of the five are left in their nest now, and one of them ~ anxious to fly ~ tried to get away while we were looking at them. It seemed like he wasn't quite ready to fly yet, so George put him back in his nest. They sure grew up fast!
