Weekend Snapshots

 Out for a drive on a breezy afternoon  ....

Old Lyme


Home overlooking cove ..
turkey vultures overhead. 


This is their view. 
Can you imagine?
Saybrook Light and Osprey nests. 


back at the ranch... Wall work continues....


Fruit trees budding...


Still chilly, blankets back on...


A new roost for the chickens...



Dinner at a favorite place with dear friends...
this was a brush mill many moons ago.
The gears remain in the ceiling.


 It was water powered back in the day!


There is a new King Betta to keep Ruby company.



..and Hey, it's time to put those jelly beans out, if you haven't already.


Spring is in the air, folks, and I'm loving every minute of it.

  1. What great pictures from your weekend. We have so many vultures around here. Took some shots of two out by the pond a few weeks ago and one was doing some kind of strange dance around the other one. Probably a mating ritual.

  6. I love your pictures. I've never heard of turkey vultures. Interesting. I love your rock wall. What a job that must be to put that together!
    Unfortunately, I've had the jelly beans out for a week or so, which means I'm eating them. :)

    Have a great week.

  7. Our plum tree is in full out bloom! So pretty. I was taking photos of it today, and the cherry tree has buds but no blooms yet. Spring is soooo early this year!

  8. You had a lovely weekend I see, beautiful pictures! Some of our Osprey showed up this week. I'm sure they will be busy building their nests and getting ready for their little ones.

  12. What a gorgeous area you live in. There is something about New England that is so special. The restaurant looks lovely as well. I love when they do over an old mill. So much history.

  22. I love restaurants in unique settings!
    No, I don't have any jellybeans yet--I like the hard outer shell, but not the "jellied" center. My weakness is the malted, speckled eggs! I'm loving Spring too--It was 79 degrees here today and I weeded the front flower bed and just enjoyed being outdoors!
