Right now I am sitting on the porch at our cabin listening to the birds and neighbors chit chatitng away. My mother is next to me reading a book and listening to neighbors. What a snoop!  Really I am the snoop of the family. Plants and flowers are blooming in every direction you look. My three dogs are napping around me. I saw a wild cat that was young and had beautiful markings. It is probably a kitten we saw last year. The cat looked pregnant so there might be kittens soon romping around. I have country music playing on the television. I sure love the country life. It is always wonderful to get away from the busy non stopping life in the suburbs.

The photo is a pear tree at our house. Blooming beautiful flowers and now their are pears all over it. We do not use pesticides so that means bees come around and pollinate the tree. When the pears get bigger the squirrels steal them from us. Those darn squirrels are always so hungry.

Today I will be doing some gardening for my mother. Getting close to nature is always such a wonderful experience. The only thing that makes me shiver are the bees buzzing around me. I hope I do not get stung today.

Its memorial weekend so do not forget to put your flags out. I have mine hanging outside. My grandpa was a veteran of WWII. Also, do not forget all the soldiers out there right now fighting to protect our country. They risk their lives for us.

Enjoy your weekend and look around and appreciate all the things around you.
