Can you tell it's summertime?

We are sure enjoying summer and the outdoors here at Eagles Nest.  Here are a few pictures that I have collected this month.  


We picked cherries.......yum!




The best 'cherry picker' !


See the little red gate?  I found it while digging in the flower beds.  It was buried in the dirt about 4 or 5 inches.  I painted it red.  What a treasure!


We've been doing a lot of grilling and eating outside!

Oh my!  It got really cool the one evening....so the only thing to do was build a fire and roast marshmallows!

We went hiking one Sunday and this wild flower caught my eye.


...and these mushrooms.


I was so excited to get an unusual visit from this bob-white quail!
You don't see them very often you just hear them saying...
bob, bob-white!

Sorry the pics are fuzzy...she wouldn't stand still for a picture.


Our cardinal family decided that today was the day to bring junior off the nest and show him where the food is kept.
Mama had to spoon feed him though!



This squirrel is trying his best to look like a bird, but I know better!

The roses bloomed!

I ate my first cucumber of the season!  It was soooo good!

Practicing her softball skills....
Queenie is giving her some batting tips!

A peek into the past.....;o)

I love listening to the birds!  This catbird is really giving a concert! They sound like a mockingbird.



"I go out to cut my grass in the yard, why, I turned my radio on, that's the nightingales, and mockingbirds, and all the birds singing. I—I think that's God's radio. The best I ever heard in my life, is to hear the birds."

Way out West

We headed way out west especially 
to visit Kyle on his golden birthday.  
Kyle turned one on June 1st. 
Hannah took us hiking, seen lots of lizards, fantastic farming, seen slithering snakes, mammoth mountains, made some music, seen some sunshine; a great getaway!





Good morning!

Hannah and Jaylon's house


There goes Jaylon


Snake in the flower bed.....

Snake in the driveway!

 Owls in the backyard





Heading into Cochise Stronghold







 Bro. Jared took us to tour a farm that milks 7,000 Jersey cows!
 Here is a silage mountain...one of many.

Packing it down


Washing the calves' milk bottles

Coming in to get milked

Scraping down the silage to feed to the cows.

It's not unusual to see mines here and there as your driving down the road in Arizona.

 Hiking into Fort Bowie.
This is where they brought Geronimo 
when they finally captured him.







This place is for sale....anyone interested?



There are some flowers in dry Arizona!









We had a good time at Kaitlyn's house!

Jubilee showing us the chickens.

Time to water the grass!




  
 Hope you enjoyed coming to Arizona with us!
