Whilst at the Wolves enclosure at Wildwood, Herne Bay, I couldnt not ignore this Robin who was systematically stealing moss from the enclosure for the new nest.
Eastern Phoebe with nest building materials. A tiny early Spring arrival flycatcher considered an uncommon migrant to the area and rare resident.
American Robins begin to arrive in southern areas of Canada in early March and start nesting this time of year. The young are fed mostly earthworms, caterpillars and beetles which are in abundance. In winter they head back south, sometimes as far as southern Mexico and Guatemala, when their diet changes to mostly fruits and berries.

Being a family means you are a part of something very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life.

The love of family and the admiration of friends are much more important than wealth and privilege.

It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family.

The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only — and that is to support the ultimate career.

Everyone needs a house to live in, but a supportive family is what builds a home.

I wanna be called 'Domestic Goddess'.” - Rosanne Barr
Many years ago, when I was living in Kyoto, I bought this handcrafted appliqué wall hanging at a temple flea market. I admired the intricate craftsmanship of the artist, a very self-effacing Japanese homemaker. Many of the fabric pieces came from old kimono and furoshiki wrapping cloth. It now lives with my daughter.
Female Eastern Bluebird gathering nesting material. After all the going back and forth from box to box, she decided to nest in the one. She was very busy. Lets hope for a succesful brood. My backyard. Central Bucks, PA.
I watched a pair of jays gathering material for their new nest the other day. Always nice to see these birds up close as they are often so skittish.
I got my Suzy Homemaker hat on today and baked some oatmeal and raisin muffins.
We had quite the dumping of snow last night so after I spent an hour cleaning my driveway first thing this morning I decided it was a good day to stay in. Unfortunately, I ended up rescheduling a planned lunch date with a friend for a much nicer day. So, as the snow squalls continued throughout the day I got busy cleaning and doing a little bit of baking in the kitchen.
I hope you all had a great day! Thanks so much for your visit.
This vibrant mural, found on a street in Santa Fe, New Mexico, captures the city’s unique blend of Southwestern culture and artistic expression. The artwork portrays a stylized kitchen scene painted across a long wall, with bold and cheerful colors—turquoise, orange, yellow, and pink—reflecting the warm desert palette characteristic of the region. Behind the mural, adobe-style buildings rise in earthy brown tones, representing traditional Pueblo architecture that defines Santa Fe’s skyline. The deep blue sky completes the composition, emphasizing the city’s clear, high-altitude light.
Ethnically, the mural echoes Santa Fe’s rich cultural mix—Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo influences intertwine seamlessly here. The woman depicted in the painting, dressed in retro attire, might symbolize the mid-century ideal of the Southwestern homemaker, while her surroundings evoke the domestic warmth and craftsmanship typical of local culture. The adobe wall itself serves as a canvas that bridges art with daily life, a hallmark of Santa Fe’s public art tradition that often celebrates identity and community roots.
Culinary details subtly tie the piece to the region’s flavors and traditions. The presence of a bag of flour hints at handmade baking, perhaps tortillas or pan dulce, staples in New Mexican households. The hanging baskets of produce and the blue kettle suggest a kitchen infused with both practicality and hospitality—values deeply embedded in Southwestern life. Through such details, the mural celebrates food not merely as sustenance but as a cultural ritual.
Architecturally and artistically, this scene is a dialogue between old and new—between the timeworn adobe textures and the modern vibrancy of street art. The shadow slicing across the wall adds a natural layer of composition, turning the entire setting into a living artwork that changes with the sun. This mural is more than decoration; it’s a colorful tribute to Santa Fe’s enduring spirit—a city where art, architecture, and everyday life blend into one harmonious landscape.

As Spring arrived, this mama Bluebird was hard at work, picking out and transporting materials to the new nest for her upcoming family...and I'm sure she made certain that the nest will be nice and comfy for her little ones! It was a pure delight to watch her going back and forth as she worked, one recent morning at Eva's!

A Prayer to St. Martha
O blessed St. Martha, your faith led Jesus to proclaim, “I am the resurrection and the life”; and faith let you see beyond his humanity when you cried out, “Lord I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” With firm hope you said, “I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him”, and Jesus called your brother Lazarus back from the dead. With pure love for Jesus you welcomed him into your home.
Friend and servant of our Saviour, I too am “troubled about many things”.Pray for me that I may grow in faith, hope and love, and that Jesus, who sat at your table, will hear me and grant me a place at the banquet of eternal life. Amen.
She is such a good homemaker and didn't mind me photographing her from 20 ft.
She would sometimes try to stuff a "way to large" twig in there and actually break it as she entered her house. The male was nearby on a branch watching her do all the work. Gotta love these Mountain Bluebirds ! Cheers
It’s no better show in any city than local market, especially fish market which is very colorful and exotic because you can meet there very unfamiliar creatures...Since the year 1097, Venetians have depended on the Rialto markets for their daily supplies of fish, vegetables, fruit, and other foodstuffs. Venice's Pescheria (pronounced "Peskaria"), a.k.a. the Rialto Fish Market, is a popular attraction, but it's also a serious food market where you'll find restaurant chefs and homemakers selecting from an array of freshly-caught fish, crustaceans, and other seafood..."In other markets, on other shores, the unfamiliar fishes may be vivid, mysterious, repellent, fascinating, and bright with splendid color; only in Venice do they look good enough to eat. In Venice even ordinary sole and ugly great skate are striped with delicate lilac lights, the sardines shine like newly-minted silver coins, pink Venetian scampi are fat and fresh, infinitely enticing in the early dawn..." (Elizabeth David, Italian Food).

Spring is in the air. I saw several birds gathering nesting materials this week. This Gila Woodpecker was working on her nest. This species tends to peck a hole in a saguaro cactus and then excavate a large cavity inside the cactus. The cactus forms a scab around the cavity and it becomes a hard boot-shaped cave inside the cactus. And this is where the Gila Woodpeckers raise their young. When the young woodpeckers fledge the nest and everyone moves out, then the European Starlings move in and take over the nest. The Gila Woodpeckers are cool and all, but I sure wish they'd stay off our hummingbird feeders
Barn Swallow / hirundo rustica. Bawdsey, Suffolk. 27/04/23.
'HOMEMAKER.'
No prizes for guessing what this beauty had been doing!
By late April the first Swallows were back at their traditional nesting site on the Suffolk coast. When I visited, the area was charged with activity - agile flybys, rapid chases, mating attempts and exuberant chattering songs.
Some birds had wasted no time in preparing/repairing nests for the breeding season and this bird pictured was one of them. Here it is taking a little time out from gathering wet mud from the edges of puddles. I love the thin streaks of mud on its forehead and chin, not quite a mud pack, but getting there!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
My folks are moving. They've lived here since 1981, and they're moving back to their home city, back to the sea.
Its not a great house - your standard suburban semi - and they were never great homemakers. Intentions were good but there was always something more pressing, more interesting. They're not hoarders, as such, but stuff that came in never seemed to leave, everything found its place and settled in. But now the move has changed all that, everything is up for re-evaluation, supposedly, so this the high tide, this is the wash-up.
