I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. (Song of Solomon 2:1)

Our Rose of Sharon is blooming and will bloom a good part of the Summer.

Do my morning exercise.

We have several birds whose songs we hear. The Finches have their small bird chirps. The Doves have their soft melodies that slightly resemble an Owl. The Quail have their particular call more than a song. However, the bird that truly sings as well as chirps is the Curve Billed Thrasher. An appropriate name, don’t you think.

I filmed this little guy singing his heart out early in the morning when the sun was coming up while I was out with Jessie.

Mothers Day was recently and this video shows how children need to listen to their mother.

While we were walking Jessie a couple of days ago, we came upon a Datura plant. The bloom is commonly called a Moon Flower because it closes up in the heat of the day and reopens at night – when the moon is up. A uniquely New Mexico blossom.
