Happy Thursday everyone,
I wanted to share more Spring scenes from around my yard. The trees are still blooming, the birds are chirping, the bleeding heart is blooming and the azaleas are looking pretty.
I am thankful for Spring blossoms.
A look at the dogwood and the redbud trees from side of our yard.
Images from the deck and around the back yard, side yard and the front.
"My favorite weather is bird chirping weather."
The Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadee and the Pine Warbler love the suet.
The male Northern Cardinal loves the sunflower seeds.
A view of the forest from our deck.
The azaleas are looking pretty.
The blueberry bushes and the bleeding hearts are blooming. The bees are happy..
I am thankful for the pollinators, the happy bees.
This is the view out our kitchen window.
I am thankful hubby and I are staying virus-free. I pray everyone is feeling good, stay safe and calm.
Some of my favorite book finished last week are:
Devonshire Scream by Laura Childs in the Tea Shop Mystery series.
The Mapping of Love and Death by Jacqueline Winspear in the Maisie Dobbs series.
A Lesson in Secrets by Jacqueline Winspear in Maisie Dobbs series.
I am always thankful for your visits and the comments.
Live simple and be happy! 😊 Spread joy & happiness!
Thank you Michelle for hosting Thankful Thursday.
Thank you to Yogi the host of Skywatch Friday
You certainly have a beautiful view.
ReplyDeleteI think the redbuds are my favorite. We don't have one in our yard (yet) . . . thinking about purchasing one when the garden centers open up again.
Those are a lot of different kinds of blossom welcoming the spring! I love them all so much Eileen! I have heard Azaleas but it's just now I've seen a photo of them, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou have some very pretty blossom at present eileen adn are fortunately to have the wood so close. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe view from your windows are so beautiful! The trees are very pretty, and so are the birds. You are lucky to have such nature around you.
Have a nice day!
Hello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteNice series of photos of your garden, great to be able to photograph there, I sit on a balcony and there are no birds.
The Northern Cardinal is my favorite.

ReplyDeleteIt looks as though you are a few weeks ahead of us with the bloom times... that salmon hued tree is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful view. Spring has come and you can enjoy all its brightness. Love the flowers and the birds.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! We are getting closer to spring, but a bit later than you.
ReplyDeleteOh what wonderful blooms there! Great to see the views in your surroundings. We have lots of time to look at our own perspective these days!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blossoms and lots of friendly visitors makes spring a great time of year.

You have avery colorful location with the many shrubs on your property.
ReplyDeleteWe have not hit the tree blossom time yet but it is to be warm this weekend so that may change next week. Love your spring post, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteQue linda é a Primavera, vista a partir do seu quintal, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteAs imagens estão fantásticas! E quantas variedades de pássaros! Adorei ver! Mas fico sempre fascinada, pelo vermelho! Pois por estes lados, não se vêem... nem parecidos!... :-))
Belíssima partilha!!! Beijinhos! Estimo que todos por aí, se encontrem bem! Por aqui, já se fala em aliviar as medidas restritivas para se circular, e o comércio vai começar a abrir... mas existindo ainda bastantes casos de contágio... temo por uma nova vaga da epidemia... vamos a ver, o que sucede nas próximas semanas!...
Tudo de bom, por aí! Beijinhos!

ReplyDeleteI loved those bird photos. Hubby and I went trail running this morning and I heard the woods were just full of birds - warblers, towhees, wood thrushes. I wanted to go back this afternoon with binoculars but it's pouring. Maybe tomorrow! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely spot to quarantine. It's a gloomy day here, but the birds are still chirping and I enjoy that. I know you do too! Thanks for linking up.

Your spring blossoms are so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThe pink dogwood is gorgeous. We had a 'first' bird for 2020 atMuldoon today. You might have to wait for Saturday to see it ;) Happy Day.
ReplyDeleteBird chirping weather....I'll have to remember that! We sure have lots of birds and blooms here in Florida right now! Love seeing your feeders and cute backyard birds! And you have some beautiful trees and flowers blooming now too! Stay safe! Oh and I LOVE Maisie Dobbs too! Hugs!

You have such lovely views out your windows. And your flowers are beautiful.

Bird chirping weather! Indeed!! Beautiful time of year around your property!!
ReplyDeleteyour trees and flowers looks better then ours. Ours was freezing during cold nights and damaged. A pity really :(
ReplyDeleteI love The male Northern Cardinal. Orange is my favorite color. It´s a shame we don´t have those. Keep Safe!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the beauty.
ReplyDeleteComplimenti per le splendide foto che racchiudono in se tutta la bellezza della primavera.
ReplyDeleteIt’s so beautiful and refreshing to view your yard birds and spring blooms! I enjoyed your collage work and the cardinal looks stunning. Glad you both staying safe and far away from infects.
ReplyDeleteTake care and enjoy the nature out there.
Your yard and property are beautiful. So nice to see everything blooming and your bird shots are always a pleasure. I just got back from a walk along the towpath and was rewarded with a view of a Great Blue Heron!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just amazing!?! It seems that the trees are blooming longer than they have before, or maybe it's just because I have more time to cherish them. Whatever the reason I have so enjoyed your post and the photos of the cardinals are just wonderful! Thank you and have a grand week! Please visit me at https://abitoftheblarney.wordpress.com.
