Happy 4th of July

We lived in Nebraska's 4th of July City for most of our lives.  From dusk until dawn there was something going on.  The first time you experience Seward on the 4th, it can be quite overwhelming.  After the 20th year of this excitement, you tend to find ways of escaping all the craziness.

Fast forward to the present, living in a very small KY town, we are thinking how can a town have nothing to do on the 4th of July!  So, let my quilting begin . . .

Around The Neighborhood

The temperature has been above average here in Western Kentucky. Which means the grass is growing and the flowers are begging to be planted.  This is keeping us very busy with work on the outside of our home.  (I am hoping we will be able to ride the Harley again in the near future.)  So, here are some pictures of our world around home.

I had to snap this picture with the Pear Tree serving as a backdrop to our Flag.

The Pear Tree is in full bloom.

This Cardinal sits atop the trees across the street and keeps an eye on my bird feeder.

The Cardinal is warning other Cardinals of danger

This bird was sitting on my deck rail enjoying a relaxing mid afternoon snack.

It has gotten a bit bird crazy in my front yard recently

 The beauty around here continues into the evening.  Earlier this week, we went over to the dock and enjoyed a beautiful evening scene of the lake.

I hope you are enjoying the nature around your home.  Remember, there is beauty in all of God's creations!
