Good morning all . Hope you had a nice Easter weekend , we sure did . The kids came down for a bit to visit and celebrate our eldest son David's Birthday and we enjoyed the lovely warm sunny weather all weekend puttering outside in the yard and gardens trying to get a jump /head start on everything .
Things are blooming and coming along in our yard and gardens very nicely .
Mrs Sparrow seems to think there is another bird in the reflection of the lamp that looks just like her , she has been doing this for days lol !
She was soo busy with this reflection of herself that she really didn't notice me there taking her photo and I am getting pretty good at quietly sneaking up on my subjects to get a pic or two lol .
She looked up and gave me a look as if to say you caught me , now get this other bird to come out of there and play will ya ? lol !
Mr & Mrs Dove taking a nap .
My Forsythia bush is blooming every so pretty as it does every year . I love the little perfect yellow flowers .
Both are Dollar store pretties to brighten up the kitchen .
Hyacinths look pretty .
And little Eastern Comma butterfly seems to think so to ! I have seen lots of Painted lady butterfly's and Cabbage moths fluttering about .
Miggs was loving this warm sunny weather to . Temps hit 25C or 75F most of the weekend !
Such a goofy dog when the camera is out lol !
Going to the groomers this Saturday for her summer do and then vet for her vaccines and meds for the summer and yearly check up .
Papa’s Tulips are springing along nicely to , yes he picked them out and planted them .
Daffodils are out all over the place now .
Yesterday evening as the sun was setting and every evening the Canadian Geese take their fly over from their day spot from the river banks to their night spot .
Even Mr Herring takes his evening flight over the river and marsh and settles down for the night in the mash .
Looking here to the east over the valley as the sun sets in the west and sun light bounces in the cloud and off the trees .
It had been a beautiful weekend with out kiddos , I posted about that the other day and the perfect weather we had .
Chilly this Monday morning but warming up and we are in for another lovely sunny day . So on that note , I hope you all had a nice long weekend and the weather was wonderful for you to .
Until next time .

Cute confused sparrow! Looks like summer too!
The sparrow is too funny: talk about a bird brain. :)
That $ store flowerpot is charming on the table.
The sparrow is a funny sight! Tulips here are behind where they are there- here we're just starting to see some shoots coming up in the tulip beds.
It looks so nice there Elaine. So many plants in bloom already! I love the pics of the sparrow looking in the lightbulb reflection. Too cute! It's very chilly here and going down to -7 tonight!!
Hi Elaine, Love your Sparrow-so cute and confused. O.k so Hyacinths are one of my favorite flowers-I only have one bulb in the yard. I love your watering can and the yellow flower pot-so bright and cheery. Miggs looks so happy to be outside-I sure am. Our Tulips are up and open-always reminds me of spring. We have Adobe soil her which makes planting more bulbs difficult, but I did add some Dahlias this year.
Hope you have a great week.
Hugs,
Noreen
Wow! Gorgeous! Mr. and Mrs. Dove is my fave.. All are lovely, though. xo
What a terrific series of photos with the sparrow and its reflection, Elaine. And such a good subject too! We also had a nice Easter holiday with family and friends and good weather as well. I can imagine how wonderful the blooms are, especially the scent of the hyacinths.
