What a Nest

When I came home from work, I went to water the hanging plants on the front porch. Since James was putting in new windows on the front, I decided to take them down and take them to the water to get out of his way. Look what I found:

Yep, a nest in the middle of my hanging plant! There was a little speckled egg in it. I think it is a Robin's egg.

Update: It's been a week. There are now 2 eggs and no sign of the mommy bird. I think she might have abandoned the nest. :-(

Blueberries!

Last weekend, we got two blueberry bushes since the girls love them so much. James planted them in our yard. They were looking kind of blah when we put them in.

Today, not so blah. There is definitely something going on.

This is all new growth.

I'm not sure if they will turn into berries or more branches. I'm not too hopeful since I read on line that they can take 3 years to actually have berries on them. I guess we will see.

Our dogwood also bloomed this weekend, seemingly overnight.

I think our yard is liking this heat wave.

Rainbow

On Thursday night after all the rain, Juli and Nonna were on the porch and they spotted a rainbow out back. The picture doesn't do it justice, but it was pretty amazing.
