Busy Weekend

Richard had told me about this bird nest in the freezer shed....sure would like to know what kind of bird lived there! I think it is just awesome!
Maple sprouts growing in the fork of a really old Silver Maple....freezer shed in the background.
We had a sunflower sprout up where I plant zinnias by the garage...Tyler has had fun watching it grow. 
It'll be blooming eventually and he'll really like that!
We got our new refrigerator this weekend!  We got it all hooked up today and I will have to take some pictures tomorrow.....Sure hope it lasts as good as the one we were using....Bought it in 1988 and it's still going strong! We just thought it was time to upgrade. The other one runs fine, but little things like the light doesn't always come on, a small shelf in the door was broken, etc. Hopefully we'll find a new home for it!
It is our tradition that when a grandchild is born, we plant a tree that year....Tyler's is a Bald Cypress...it's maybe ten feet high now....Emily's is a Tulip Poplar that had "volunteered" near our Burr Oak tree, so we moved it the year she was born...it's about three feet high now....So Saturday we bought two Dogwood trees for Jack and Ben.  They are pretty good sized (and half price!) ...will have to find a good spot for them and hope they do well!
And here is the cat early this morning inspecting the new refrigerator! Such an entertaining cat!

That bird nest reminds me of my hair when I get up in the morning...or get caught in a wind storm...haha. Wonder what kind of bird, as you said?
A new fridge! That's kind of exciting especially since your other one was getting up in years. It always looked new to me.

Too funny on you comparing your hair to the bird nest! I do wonder about the kind of bird...perhaps Mozelle will have a guess....The fridge we had was a nice one....and never had a bit of trouble with it...Hard to believe it's as old as Sarah!
