Happenings Around Here

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  We spent some time shopping for flowers, cooking out, visiting family members and watching a movie.

One unexpected thing happened to us the other night though.  We found out we have a birds nest in our garage.  My husband came inside, and along with him, so did the momma bird!

After flying around the main part of the house, she flew into our foyer.

She landed on the chandelier chain.  There's only one problem with that though.  It's way up there!

We have a two story foyer and she was at the highest point of our house!

So what to do???

Grab a long duster.

That didn't work though.  All she did was fly back and forth to the window and chandelier chain!

Can you tell what kind of bird she is?  We don't know.

My oldest son finally decided to use his brothers Nerf gun to shoot styrofoam bullets near it to scare it off.  

It worked! 

She flew out our front door.

We're having to leave our garage door open (partly) when we're gone so she can get to her nest.  

Gosh, the things we do for nature!

But all was not lost on the bird.

My husband cooked out filet mignon on our grill for my Mother's Day dinner.

Our meal was as good as a restaurant's!

We had filet mignon,  baked potato, baby Bella mushrooms with vidalia onion, spring green salad, and rosemary and olive oil rolls.

Delicious!  

The secret to a great steak???  Get it cut fresh at a meat market.  Do not get it from a grocery store!  

I finally got flowers to plant in my planters on the front porch. I took some pics of the nursery, we go to every year, to share.  You won't believe this nursery!  It's pretty impressive.  I'll share those pics soon.

Thanks for stopping by!
