Music Monday - Down by the Sally Gardens (and mine)

It was a gardening kind of day. Here is a lovely, traditional Irish ballad that takes place in one:  
(maybe not so cheery, but love the atmosphere...)

Well, in my garden today, we discovered this tiny junco's nest in the strawberry bed. The eggs are teensy - like the size of a dime...
I'm afraid the babies are likely doomed - there are a number of cats that frequent my back yard, and while the nest is somewhat hidden, cheepy babies will attract them....

The bees are finally making an appearance a little more in force - 

-the ladybugs too.... So many things growing, flowering, flourishing....

Toby-the-terror puppy is as well... 

He is quickly getting taller and lankier by the minute...

...as well as goofier... :-) 

And when he's not frantically chewing things to pieces, he is quite adorable.

Hello Tara! It is delightful to catch up with your posts! Oh dear you must somehow aid Mother Nature in protecting these babes yet to hatch! Perhaps sketch some kind of character that will frightened the cats away!!
Adorable fur bundle! One of mine is in hospital as I type.Her whiskers shiver and I pray.
hugs Anna

Beautiful photos and adorable puppy. I would get nothing done with his sweetness around.
