Wordless Wednesday — Fall Pond Talk

Just because I thought it was cute!

A Dragonfly On My Finger

My Friends Called Me
Mrs. Sunshine

© TamJam Productions—MrsSunshine all rights reservedOver the July 4th weekend my husband and I were sitting on the patio enjoying a cup of coffee when a dragonfly came around. He or she comes by often, and flies really close to where we sit. I always talk to it as if it understands what I’m saying.

This time it landed on one of our lanterns and my husband said you should try to pick it up.

I thought for a quick second and then I grabbed my trusty iPhone, and this is what happened…

As I was waiting for this video to upload I went back outside to get up and move around. As soon as I walked out the door my dragonfly friend came around. I got him on video. He let me pick him up again. I think I really do have a new friend.

I’m also thankful for  my wonderful hubby John, for providing me with the music. He stopped the music project he was working on to quickly record a bit of peaceful music for my video on my little blog.  OXOXOX

Thanks for stopping by,

The Baby Doves Have Hatched

I just wanted to post a quick update on the baby doves. If you would like to see the first images click here

The family is doing fine. I’m amazed at how calm they are with me around. I literally can get within inches of them and they just look at me. They decided to make their nest right where I have to get garden tools. I try not to bother them with too many photo shoots.

Here is a video of the babies getting fed. Sorry for the odd angle

Hope you enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday – No More Empty Nest for Me

A few days ago I noticed some strange changes to one of my hanging plants.

Later in the day my visiting bird left her nest.
I was able to get a peek at these little beauties.

Work or Rainbow ~ Which One?

Wordless Wednesday


The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won’t wait while you do the work.

Wordless Wednesday: After 9 Years I Got This

I thought this plant was dead and gone. After nine years it popped up and produced 2 beautiful flowers.
