How Does Your Garden Grow?



The Birthday Flag is out for Himself's birthday this month


Timex, the chipmunk came back. He didn't turn into hawk chow.


Three crows came to visit. One for sadness, two for joy, 3 for a girl...well, that ship sailed two decades ago.

Passing of the Daffodils


The Pollenator arrived with a vengeance


Violets and Bugle flowers


Last week, Rocky, the flying squirrel, jumped on top of the wishing well and flew to the top of the shepherd's hook. He managed to destroy one of the bird feeders to get to the seed. We bought new bird feeders (they are cheap at $5) and I moved the hook further away from the wishing well.

Rocky 1, CJ 1, second round


Rocky was still able to make the leap. He chewed the bottom of the new feeder and all the seed fell to the ground. Fortunately, he chewed in such a way that the feeder was able to be repaired.

Rocky 2, CJ 1, third round


So I moved the hook to the middle of the front yard. Far away from the wishing well. It's now closer to the front window to provide up close and personal entertainment on KTTY television.


The Snowball bushes are about to avalanche


The Japanese Maple just suddenly leafed out


Buttercups and pollen


Himself put his baseball wreath up


The Goldfinch didn't have any trouble navigating to the new feeder location.

Storm clouds moving in.

    1. I don't mind the squirrels eating the bird seed. I'm Italian so Abbondanza, everyone eats. I just wish they wouldn't destroy the bird feeders. I toss a generous amount of seed on the ground for the ground feeders. This guy was just being a greedy guts

  5. Ah the pollen. It's brutal, isn't it? It's looking good. I'm curious why the sandbox has cinder blocks holding down the roof? But it's looking great otherwise, all green and like spring. And that's a cool baseball wreath too. Stay dry!

    1. The sandbox isn't a sandbox anymore. There's not sand just a few cinder blocks. It marks the spot where the septic system cover is. The cinder blocks prevent the "roof" from being blown around by strong winds.

  7. Rocky is very determined. He hates to lose more than you.

    Happy early birthday to Himself. That baseball wreath is outstanding. I'd call it a home run.
