Some views from our yard...

Savannah's - our glorious maple tree (it actually resides outside our fence but we've adopted it and as such talk to it, hug it and celebrate it's presence daily)

Sebastian's - the beginnings of an ant hill in our patio stones. All insects are either 'ladybugs' or 'beetlebugs' to Sebastian but he is quite fond of ants and will gaze at them for ages. We watched this busy crew transported crumbs of dirt from the inside-out so left them some grains of sugar as a treat for their hard labour...
Mine - the joyous blooms of our rhododendron. This plant was salvaged from my Mom's garden where it was in dire need of some TLC....we gave it it's own pot, some coffee grounds in the soil and a cool, shady spot underneath our maple tree and were rewarded with some glorious blossoms and new leaf growth...In the background are some bleeding hearts (also rescued) and some chives given by a friend...yummy!
Savannah took this one of our dear Malcolm watching us from the window...
