Mother's Day In The Birds World............

Even in the world of birds a Mothers work is never done.......

She does this over and over all day long..........like a good Mother would.One parent usually stays behind to watch the nest until the other returns.
It was Mother's Day in the Bluebird world!

And much like ours after feeding they spend time together.............relaxed.
And like a good Bluebird dad on Mother's Day he checks in on the little ones as they sleep.
And protects his family from intruders! This black bird sitting on top of their home caused quite alot of commotion today.That's the mother bluebird ruffling her feather behind the dad. After the daddy blue bopped him on the head a few times and the mother bird flew into him with both feet he flew away. But he'll be back tomorrow and they'll be ready.


I hope all of the Mothers out there had a wonderful Mother's Day!

YUMMY!!! STRAWBERRIES !!!

~~Strawberry Season Has Begun In Virginia~~

The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services says growers in Tidewater and Southside already report berries ripe for the picking. Central Virginia growers say their strawberries will be ripe for Mother's Day weekend, and the rest of the state isn't far behind.

Growers say a relatively cool spring has been good for their berries. The recent hot spell has been the finishing touch on what they're calling a sweet berry season.

Strawberry season usually lasts through June in cooler parts of Virginia.
