Howdee all,
We arrived in CT and are now parked in the driveway of the home I grew up in from the age of three.
My parents have been in this home for over 50 years. 
My Dad is a keen gardener…one of his passions…
There are nesting Chickadees, Baltimore Orioles and a nest of Robins.
My mother showed me where the Robins chickies are...
One chick fledged this morning..I expect they will all leave today.
Yesterday we had our annual Family Picnic…Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Sisters and brother.
It was a wonderful day with family that flew by too quickly…
Doesn't she look awesome! 
for the next month we will be busy here with gardening, taking muther shopping, Visiting sickstas and brother…watching the birds that come to the feeders…
Time for family…
And just enjoying Summer in New England..
You got some great shots of the Robin babies.
ReplyDeleteThe picnic was fun. I love your family shot and especially the shot of chicklet with her very special treet..
Looks like a wonderful family gathering. Lovely weather and smiling faces. Enjoy your visit! Also, love the little robins - sweet!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better than having time to spend with family. Your mother does look awesome! Welcome back to New England Dawn & Jeff!
ReplyDeleteWonderful to hear you are there, and got to enjoy time with all the family-a day like that does pass too quickly. Oh so pretty pics, and your mom is awesome, even though she might not agree. ;o) I look forward to following along during your time there.
ReplyDeleteNice pics! Lovely family and we all should be that lucky to look like that at age 80 - hard to believe!
ReplyDeleteNice to be surrounded by family. No way your beautiful Mom looks over 80.
ReplyDeletenice post and photos Dawn - wonderful family :)
ReplyDeletewelcome back to CT

Did you experience the smoke haze from the fire in Canada?
ReplyDeleteFamily days are enjoyable.
Its good to get home Dawn, enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYes those baby robins look kind of crowded. Time to fly the coop. Your mom definitely doesn't look 80. Enjoy you family and the summer!
ReplyDeleteYour mother looks many years younger--it must run in the family. I loved the peonies at the end.
ReplyDeleteThanks friends for your kind comments..
ReplyDeleteMy muther was thrilled with all your kind comments.
Andy..no smoke seen..
so sorry it has taken me such a long time to get back to you and thank you.
I have been a bit preoccupied with other things..
Hope to get back in the swing of things soon.
