What’s happening?

From the bird cam this morning, doves in our birdhouse. There were two doves at one point, so we’re hoping they nest. We were worried because about 6 weeks ago after our last nesting we found bird feathers all over the patio and we thought maybe we lost one of the birds in the pair. Bruce put up a new bird feeder and somebody ate up all the food so that, too, is a good sign.


We have some blooming orchids. The first photo is a “Sherry Baby” or you could call it a “Chere Baby” and its blooms smell like chocolate. The blooms in the second photo smell like Pina Colata. True story.

The yellow orchid below has been blooming, it seems, for months. Just about the time I thought it was done blooming, it grew two more shoots full of buds. I was going to move the pot but found out it has a few roots that have grown solid onto the fence. I guess that’s its way of saying it’s not going anywhere!

The orchids below are beauties!

We have so many orchids that bloom throughout the year and there’s always something in bloom!


On our Shelter Island walk this morning we got to see the Navy Seals launching a couple pontoon boats. Pretty cool, I think.


What the kids are up to …

Robb & the boys enjoying the Sierra Nevada.

Another day, another bay – what it looks like to be 8.

From peach tree to peach cobbler. Yummy.
