Baby Robin

Just before he jumped!
We have a Robins nest in a tree outside our Family Room window. It's been a riot to watch the parents build the nest, sit on the eggs, and feed the babies. I took this photo last Thursday on "first flight" day. The dad would bring a big fat worm up next to the baby then fly down to the ground and shake the worm at them. It took 2 hours to get all 4 down but they made it and are taking practice flights in our backyard!

Day 5...can't wait for those Green River Melons !!!
I passed my first "Fresh Melon" stand today on the way home from the stables. After a long winter and very rainy spring, I am so ready for some nice weather. They won't be coming from Green River yet...but St. George cantaloupes will be just fine!

Triple Chocolate

SOLD
There is nothing better in this world than Dunford Bakery Chocolate Donuts. 
As a child, my sister Andrea and I would walk to the market and buy a box of 6. I never could eat more than 2 on the way home...but someone usually finished off the box by the time we reached our porch! I'm not naming names...but it starts with an A. That girl can still put food away like no other and is a thin as a rail.

Day 2 of my painting a day project.
This pasture land I enjoy painting is disappearing fast! It seems I drive further and further away from my house to find places to paint. West & South Jordan used to be full of fields with horses grazing in them, but now even Herriman is turning into new sub developments!
