Five little robin chicks.

sneaking two peaks over the three days

Their eyes are open on day two.

Looking around.


These little guys are getting squished on day four from the first photo below.  And I just noticed that there are five chicks total!  The little guy in the front is getting smooshed.

Shady garden




Saint Elizabeth


We found this statue in the garden when we moved in.  The statue is in honor of Gabe's wife, who died during the birth of her fourth daughter.  Saint Elizabeth is the patron saint of midwives.

The pavers

More loam to move.


Japanese maple

Sweet little maple tree lost about half of itself during the hurricane.
It still lives on.

Sunrise, a chance to begin again.

Welcome sunrise.
You remind me of the new day.
A chance to begin anew.
Renewed.

The "Swale"

Year one of the swale.  Stones removed from the wooded area that joins the property were removed and set in a mote like fashion to receive the rain water run off from the road.


Japanese painted ferns set around the stones along the the swale.
