When I moved here a year and a half ago I had no idea that I had a Mexican Plum tree (Prunus mexicana) on my land. Until today that is, when I went for a walk to the Eastern Bluebird nest box to check up on it and found this lovely beauty in all it’s glory.

The fragrance was overpowering. What a glorious find!

There was a Monarch Butterfly fluttering around, but sadly it did not want to stay still for me to catch a good picture of it.

The wildflowers (Verbena) were out and about as well. A whole field of color.

And as I was making my way back to take a peek in the Bluebird nest box I find a lovely surprise…Mommy Bluebird had laid 2 lovely blue little eggs in the new nest. I wish them all the best in raising their new brood. I have seen both mom and dad fiercely defending their nest from House sparrows. So far they are doing a great job. I have registered this nest online with the nestwatch.org database run by Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I sure hope they do well.
