baby bird

We came home from a hike this afternoon and found this little bird sitting on the walkway by my door. He was looked funny :) Probably his mom went to get some seeds, and he decided to go explore. When he saw us he got worried and jumped up holding himself to the brick wall. I had a camera in my hands, so I made a picture.

We realize we have a bird's nest in the bush by the door.

Valentines Day dinner

We have celebrated Valentines Day - Nadia made festive dinner with tofu in shape of hearts. Here are out plates :) I need to give Nadia a gift subscription for 'Vegeterian Times'!

New 2011 ready :)

rocks in the garden

We started a Japanese garden on the weekend - bought plants and soil, leveled the big hole left from the removed tree. We are so thankful to Mitch Stover for throwing some rocks into our garden! It would not be a Japanese garden without rocks. Mitch brought some for us from the mountains. Not only rocks - he also brought apples - very tasty, very sweet. Thank you, Mitch! Mitch works in Robinhood Road Starbucks (3331 Robinhood Rd. 336-768-1221) - come and see see his photography and art works on display.
