Turtle ornaments

I haven't yet decided how to string them.

All set to glaze in the morning

Like Mary Poppins says...

"Once begun is half done."

These birds will be orioles: Lord and Lady Baltimore in their apple tree.

I saw my first ever oriole this summer, right in my parents' yard in the western burbs of Cleveland. They had installed an oriole feeder in April, and apparently if you put one up at the right time, they will come.

Remarkably beautiful birds.
