Our Heritage and my youngest is a Birthday Girl today

Happy Birthday to my youngest daughter on this early morning.
My Jamie
several who have seen this post have mentioned to me
my mother in the image is the little girl
that Jamie resembles her grandmother.

An early rainy Friday morning and will be a restful day, too much done yesterday, too many errands
I am not good at pacing myself.



Many old pictures I possess
A special cousin so knowledgeable in my mother's genealogy has brought me much joy by sharing a lot of
our connected past and every now and then something really new to me.

He emailed me a copy of a photo of my maternal grandmother, my mother, and his grandmother
my Aunt Bea

There is a Scarlet Tanger been here by my cottage since Spring, that makes constant visits, sits on the deck rail, bird feeder and in the trees
I have tried for months to capture an image.  So smart he is that even when I walk by the door or
window hoping to get an image he flies away.
Looking out the window earlier today was able to capture his image through the window.  I have wanted so to capture a better one.  This is the male and daily the female will also visit with him.

Also a Hummingbird, he does not look as pretty as all the Hummingbirds the beginning of the
season, maybe because there is a constant stream of these birds chasing one another away from
the feeders :)
