Eggs in Nest Oil Painting
I love the wildlife that surrounds us. Birds and their beautiful nests I especially love. A quick picture taken will not harm the little ones and when they hatch I sometimes save and display them. Today I was playing around with a photo editor for the results seen in this post.

I've had this photo editor subscription for over a year and haven't used all of it's features. On this particular day I decided to play. It is amazing the different colors and textures that show up in the different edits.
It's been a busy week here lots of gardening, grass and weed pulling. Chuck has been battling the nut grass in the vegetable garden. Let me tell you that is one hopeless case. I'm glad it is easy to pull but it is so very thick.

I've been making new edges around the two front island gardens. They've been neglected for a few years. The gardens will be simple but beautiful!

What's Up With Us?
The little ones are out of school for the Summer! They're so smart! I know I may be a little bit prone to say that anyway, but they truly are gifted, talented and smart children! We're very proud of these young ones!Thank you for the continued prayers for Johnny and Carly. They are both still in physical therapy, and are improving. Thank God. There is still a ways to go but we are so grateful.
Doug was recently in the hospital, now thankfully home. We would love some prayer for him as well. He and Catie both.
Chuck is enjoying his new eyesight! He can now go without glasses for the first time since he was in the first grade! That is a wonderful thing! Now if he can quit adjusting the invisible eyeglasses that would be great!
I'm doing fine, busy with home and gardens thinking of all the fun new things I want to do. If I can accomplish a fourth of those goals I'll be happy!
I thought I would share a little video I took with a Hummingbird eating at the new feeder!
They're back!
It was an extremely windy day, but the bird kept on eating!

They are so easy to fill!
Makes for very easy Hummingbird watching!
You can see they like to flutter while feeding
Then they sit
This is a Product Review as well!
Disclosure: I purchased the product
It is excellent!
Busy week ahead for us I hope you all have a great one!
It sounds like you are off to a busy summer with Mimi camp and all. I love the pictures you took of all your garden and plants. You got some great shots and I love the bird nest, too, of course.
