I am so happy that I was able to participate in the "Nest Swap". My swap partner is the wonderful Vivian, of Viv on a Whim.
Vivian hosted the swap, too!
Just look at what Vivian sent me!
This fuzzy little bluebird feels right at home - see her cute banner, "Home Tweet Home"!
It is a perfectly darling felted bluebird!
She looks adorable with my bluebird collection on my old stove.
Don't you LUV her party hat!
Look at the tiny trims and detail on this little figure! And, the vintage spool! Oh, what a special treat for me!
Thank you sooooo much, Vivian! I just love my bluebird nestie!
It feels like you looked into my heart.

This weekend hubs and I saw lots of wildlife.
Our home is very rural - but, still, there is a main road at the bottom of our 3 acres. Look who came to visit! I snapped this picture outside of our dining room window. He was moving fast!
He was probably hungry for breakfast!
This is Mama Ground Squirrel.
And, these are the babies. There are actually 3 of them.
My Kinder-kids loved hearing about these critters today!
I often call my boys, "little squirrels", because they can be so hyper!
I had no idea REAL squirrels were soooooooo hyper!
These little guys would not sit still!

Our tree is blooming. Do you know what kind of tree this is?
Isn't she pretty!

I was outside this weekend just playing around - planting flowers - raking and weeding, when all of a sudden I began to cry big tears of Thankfulness and Joy. I am so thankful to live here in our mountain home. So many years of dreaming. It feels like a miracle. God is so good to me.
Patti,
I love looking at all the neat things that God has given to you !
I told you two years ago that God was just waiting for the right house and the right time for you to move. I am so glad you didn't give up.
Love, Grama Julie
