Southern Bunnies

June 9, 2009

Welcome to Outdoor Wednesday, hosted by Southern Daydreamer! My neighbor across the street recently made a discovery.

We didn’t want any neighborhood [...]

Southern Empty Nest

June 2, 2009

As I reported on Monday’s post, the last of the robins has left the nest. The first baby robin left on Saturday morning. The remaining two robins thought about it all day on Saturday. Even thought the robin parents called to them, they didn’t get up the nerve on Saturday. On Sunday morning, my husband [...]
