This Week

Found this in our yard....it would seem Fall is knocking on the door...but it's way too early for that!

bluebird pictures from a friend's house

These were from last weekend....we watched the twins while Matt and Sarah took the big kids to the school's open house...Ben must have been off to my side the whole time...didn't get a picture of him!

strange berries on an unidentified vine from our garden fence...pink and purple berries?  No idea the name of it....and see that brown thing draped across the top of the picture like garland?  Such awful sharp little thorny things!  Terrible!
