A Southern Life

Southern Arrival!

Talk about a metamorphosis! How about this:

We went from this . . .
We went from this . . .

Then, back to three!! What happened. We're not sure but one is missing :(

Then, finally this! Three little babies Sunday morning!

I want food!

Check back on Wednesday for more pics. They are so sweet. Both Mama and Daddy birds are feeding the babies and, yes, I’ve got pics.

Join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for more Metamorphosis Monday!

Today’s Lagniappe: Margarita
Now that warm weather is upon us, it is time for something frosty to sip on the porch after a long day.

* 1 1/4 cups fresh lime juice
* 1 cup Triple Sec or other orange liqueur
* 1 cup silver tequila
* 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 3 cups ice cubes

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine the lime juice, triple sec, tequila, lemon juice, and 2 cups ice in a blender; blend until smooth.
2. Place 1 cup ice cubes in a cocktail shaker; add desired amount of margarita; cover and shake well; serve.

    Dear Friend, the pictures are lovely as always. The Cottage is such a perfect place to enjoy such a table on the porch, mostly with the company of a good friend. You are such a kind and talented lady. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. Linda

    What a beautiful blue. So that’s why the color is called Robin’s egg blue. I’ve never seen a robin’s nest before, in real life.

    Gorgeous.

    Too bad one of the eggs disappeared. But how exciting that the remaining three eggs have hatched and you now have some new little house guests 🙂

    Love it! Is there anything prettier than robin’s egg blue? Wait! Is that a Robin? LOL

    I am on Baby watch also. My nest has 6 eggs. I think its a sparrow. She built it in one of my hanging geranium baskets, so I have to hand water it instead of using the sprayer. I can’t wait.

    Amazing pics – thx for sharing.

    Wow, what a special thing to experience! You must have a special family; birds won’t go where there is too much chaos or unhappiness. 🙂
