The Nuthatch pose

One of two White-breasted Nuthatches I watched last weekend

Good birding this weekend

I spent a little time outside early yesterday and today and was happy to see lots of birds--a Red-bellied Woodpecker, Downy Woodpecker, Nuthatches, a family of Chickadees, two Carolina Wrens playing chase, Cardinals, and this Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Our house has been under construction for several months and I haven't been able to enjoy the birds much. It was great to see all of them again.

Ready for Christmas

We visited the Idea House on Halloween only to find they were ready for Christmas

Southern Living 2012 Idea House

I toured the Southern Living 2012 Idea House in Senoia, Georgia last week. We're in the middle of a house renovation so I was hoping to get a few ideas.
