To catch you up long story short, after returning home from our mid-west summer adventure, we crazily/quickly bought and moved into a small, cozy house on an acre lot four miles away from our property lot that we’re clearing to build our dream home on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
It deemed perfect to put us local with the building lot immediately for the clearing, the Spring start and continue monitoring of the new home build. Plus it allowed us to begin enjoy living in our new community now. It just wasn’t feasible to have the 2+ hour drive from our previous home and try to move forward with our plans.
Soooo…..I’ve really had two Eastern Shore ‘backyards’ since we’ve been back. And, as I’ve shared in the past month, both backyards have a wonderful variety. I feel truly blessed with my own little bird paradise!

With the Northern Cardinal being one of my top favorite birds, to have these birds in our new-to-us home backyard has been a true delight. Being a year-round bird in the Chesapeake Bay region, I’m am hoping ‘mine’ stay around through this winter.

This gorgeous male has been slowly getting used to me and that big camera ‘eye’, giving me more chances, while his mate continues to evade me for a pretty photo. I am giving her time, I am patient. 😊

Until then, I’ll continue to enjoy watching and listening to the both of them during my mornings.
