David -- your photography is superb! Not only are the pictures crystal clear, but you have captured the many kinds of blue -- which I find extremely difficult to do! Eventually you must allow us to see a view of the house, so we can understand how the flowers are used.. BTW, this cannot be Newark, New Jersey --? I am only a stone's throw from there, and our area flowers are definitely NOT in bloom.... and our veggies are not producing yet. Oh, except for radishes. On the subject of the baby birds, was the nest in a low and vulnerable position? The only way I can visualize their disappearance when newborn would be from a cat, a giant condor perhaps...? or a neighborhood boy. That's sad. Very pleased to have had the opportunity to share your family page! Penny, NY ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
