summer is here!

This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend - the official start of summer, at least as far as most socialites are concerned. We were invited to spend a long weekend in Hillsdale with Mary & Elliot. We had beautiful weather!!

Elliot puts pine branches in the window boxes for the winter season. He was too late taking them out this year, and a Robin decided to build her nest in the window box under the branches. There were 3 babies in the nest! Here you can see how well hidden they were: They all ducked down when I opened the screen and stuck my camera out to take a picture.

The mom came by with a worm, but she could see me through the window and got nervous and flew away right after I took this picture.

Here's the window with the nest:

We spent many lazy hours sitting on the deck eating and listening to the birds.

This is the waterfall David and I got married in front of. We like to think of it as "our waterfall"

Sunday night we had a bonfire in the fire pit...

"Bash Bish Falls" is slightly larger than "our waterfall" which is why it was so crowded. Too cold to swim in this time of year though!
