Our bluebird babies are about 19 days old. They’re going to fledge any day now. They are so big! How can they even fit in the house together? We can’t really see all 6 of them – did we lose one?

Flower Bed Project, 4/22
We planted some dahlia’s and mums in our back bed. We dug down deep and built up the bed using stones as a border.
We were exhausted but happy with our efforts!

Zoo Day! (Monkeys)
Saturday we went to the NC Zoo in Asheboro. It was fun, and it was a gorgeous day. The park was very crowded, and we got a late start, so we didn’t get to see the whole zoo. Dave and I bought a membership so we’ll have to go back and see the rest of it sometime. Here are some of our primate pictures.
Baboons
Gorilla
Beautiful monkeys covered in long fur.
