At Home on Blackberry Homestead

June 30, 2025

On June 19 (Thursday), Bruce and I saw the eggs in the bird nest in the back pasture had hatched. There were three little squirming baby birds. I was so excited. I reached for my phone to take a picture. Oh darn, I had left my phone in the house. Bruce did take a picture of the babies.

On June 20 (Friday), Bruce and walked around the garden.

We walked around the back pasture, checking the fruit trees. I found some aphids on the tender apple leaves.

We walked over to see the baby birds, only to discover an empty nest. I felt a wave of sadness.

Empty Nest

I did see several variegated fritillary butterflies.

The sunset was spectacular.

The fireflies were out flashing their messages of love.

It was a nice ending for the day.

  1. Those squash blossoms are beautiful! I wonder what happened to the baby birds, but I think I know. You have fabulous sunsets. And the fireflies is the icing on the cake!
