More first day issues in a future post. Thank you for stopping by John's Island. For those of you who wondered why no posts last week ... We were moving! We had to vacate our previous location while all 179 units in the highrise building are being remodeled for the next 18 to 24 months.

  2. Glad the move is behind you now. And those Colorado columbine reminded me of times when I saw clumps of them as far as they eye could see! :-)

  6. I love these paintings of plants and animals,
    they show much more detail than a photo does. :)
    Are you going to stay in your new home or do
    you move back once they're finished?
    Have a fine day

  15. Our sweet California Quail... they are so cute, and they are easily recognizable by their sound. Very shy though.
