Things that make me happy II

Finding a nest, full of baby Carolina Wrens, on the back porch today.

I had no idea all the yard noises were coming from these little birds.  I for sure thought the CW scolding noise was coming from ticked off squirrels. 

::shaking head::

Nope nope nope.  I really love the way the mom and dad are always flying in with food.  And they aren't leaving any messes.

I think we have birds nesting under our eaves, Lighter, I haven't been able to see them yet and I don't want to get too close but I keep hearing chirping and seeing a blackbird flying to and fro,

It's summer here now, finally, and I love the long, hot days.  I love waking up to daylight and warmth and that lovely cool breeze that's flowing through the house because you've had the windows open through the night.  I love the way it gets dark very slowly and gradually in the summer and you can go out for a walk late in the evening and still not need a jacket or to worry about proper shoes, flip flops will do.

I made a big turkey and vegetable concoction last night for the freezer.  All the ingredients were marked down so I've made about six meals for about £3 (about 4 and a half dollars, I think that is) and had a big bowl last night with home made bread.  Simple and satisfying, that makes me feel happy.

MY back is feeling better!  It's still a bit sore but I can get on with most things again and not have to do that funny movement where you try not to move one side of your body, lol, so I think a couple more days and it should be back to normal.
