Some really beautiful, warm and sunny weather today. It was so bright that I had to play with the shadows a bit on this picture, which is a companion of sorts to an image I shot two years ago. Have a great weekend! ✿

Last night and this morning, I was subjected to a nasty one-two punch: a monster headache, followed by a 24-hour bug of some kind.

I knew I took this picture a while ago for a reason. Now that I am (sort of) up and about, it captures my not amused feeling… especially when I have so much to do. (I loved Lamb Chop as a kid and adore her to this day. She’s got sass. ♥)

The birds in my neighborhood have been making ruckus every morning lately. Yesterday, I attempted to find out why and discovered a nest. On the side of my house and out of my reach. Luckily, my HOA already had maintenance guys on site.

After peeking inside to verify it was empty, they removed this sad, little abandoned nest. I suspect its former residents still love my trees, judging from the noise, though!
