The Good....
It is the little things: A beautiful bouquet of roses from someone's garden,
Wrapped in saran wrap and in plastic bag does not make for a clear picture.

And The Bad.
Warning - Not a good ending: Daughter sent me this pic of 4 baby birds in a nest in a crepe myrtle in her yard. I ask if she could try for a clearer picture..jpg)
Later that morning she went out and saw the damage. 2 of the babies gone, one in nest appeared to be dead, and the other was out in the yard with the Mother circling over it. Little red headed cupid was NOT happy about the situation and kept telling the Mother to come get her baby.
Later, she, along with my grandson and redheaded cupid went to check the situation out, and see if anything could be done. However, the Mother bird wanted no part of them being around and started dive bombing them, so they had to run for cover. Last they saw, the baby was hopping off and appeared to be trying to fly, even tho it seemed to young. Later there was no sign of either the Mother or the baby bird. Can only hope Mom got it to safety.

Hard to believe it is August already, and most schools in this area start back this upcoming week.

What a distressing bird drama, and what a pretty crocheted throw, and the roses and breads.
The good is so good and such a wonderful gift. So sad about the little birds, I do hope baby and mom made it to safety.
Lovely flowers, and bread looks yummy! It's always hard to watch the birds get preyed upon. I've seen it happen more times than I care to remember.

I hate to hear this kind of story but I know it happens a lot.
Pretty flowers.
Lovely flowers, bread and throw, Glenda! I've been thinking about doing an afghan or throw but haven't gotten out of the 'thinking stage' yet :)
We have hawks in our neighborhood too. Luckily, I haven't witnessed them doing what they do. They can have all of the chipmunks they want, though!
Oh my.. sorry to hear about the birds. *sigh* I had a crow one time swoop down and fly off with a plastic egg I had in a nest outside my front door :-P Would have loved to have seen that birds reaction lol
You got a lot of fabulous treasures there. I was just thinking that I'd like to crochet something... maybe a blanket like the one you've gotten is in order!
big hugs,

With the beautiful things in life there has to be some bad, I suppose it makes us cherish those beautiful things more. hope mommy and baby made it to safety!
hugs Lynn
I hope the baby birds are ok, Glenda. The flowers are pretty though....Christine
I hope the little bird survived too! I love the little things too and the bread looks delish!
My flowers are not doing well with the heat especially my impatiens. We finally had rain a couple of hours ago so maybe they will survive.
School began here today! It's too hot to think about school.
As always thank you for your sweet comments!
Hugs,

Yummy and beautiful. Too bad about the baby birds. We had a tragedy with a nest of eggs this spring too. One day there were 4 eggs, then there were 2 and then none. I saw crows right near the area during that time and that was unusual.
Such pretty roses and such a pretty throw, and oh how delicious lemon cherry bread sounds. Lucky you. So sorry about the birds. I know the Little Redhead was heartbroken over that. laurie
Like I said - not a lover of "wild animals" but I don't like to hear or see things like this either.
poor little cupid!

Awww too bad about the hawk. We have a couple that circle our neighborhood. The other day one was sitting in the middle of my backyard and he had just caught a squirrel!
The bread sounds yummy!
