What’s Going On In Our Neck Of The Woods

 

 

First , we have news that the Orchard Orioles are back  WOOHOO !  I am hoping the Hummers and Baltimore Orioles follow suit soon cause my nectar feeders are out and waiting for them . The Wren houses are clean and waiting for them to appear now to . I saw a few Barn swallows flying and chatting over the house the other day , the Eastern Blue birds are about the forest edges , so the birds are slowly returning as the weather gets to how it is to be this time of year .  Then Papa built some nice shutters for his shop to spruce it up a bit  and things are slowly but surely growing and blooming here ! The weather has been passable that past few days but with sunshine  and as of today and through the weekend which today is the May 1st  cant believe it already but am happy about it  oh yeah  sorry lost my track of thought here lol happens from time  to time any who   the weather is to be perfect  warm and sunny . 

I went around the garden after I had puttered in them for a bit and took photos , no surprise there lol !

  Your shutters on your shop  look nice Papa great job , he just finished painting them the other day then put them up !

Mrs Robin has been very busy perfecting her nest above the porch light and is now in the mud packing stage with it as you can see here she has a beak full of mud !

Whilst she is doing that Mr Robin is keeping an eye out for her and where ever she goes he follows watching her back so to speak !

All my Lilac bushes are coming along wonderfully and in a week or so will be full of wonderful blooms and fresh aroma of pretty white, pink and deep purple  flowers  .

Hyacinth's are blooming one by one and my Daffs are slowly getting there I think they are struggling this year !

Things seem slower here this year but they are trying , the Tiger Lilies here would of been huge and opened by now !

Whilst I was wondering the yard taking photos I was also throwing the ball for Miggs , now a days she tires out a bit faster then she used to so she went on the patio porch and took a break for a bit !

Then she heard me sneak up on her and gave her famous , I am so cute  pose with her teddy bear doe eyes lol !

Then as I went around the front of the house by the drive way I saw this little fellow just staring at a piece of grass in the stump , I had a vision and laughed to myself of him saying to the grass . Ya wana piece of me ? all tuff and puffed up  then grabbing it and pulling it like a piece of spaghetti lol  I know weirdo eh?  But nah  he just flew away lol !

So far things are coming along good like I said a bit slower then normal but better then not at all . I cant believe it is May already where does the time and days go . My gardens are done and waiting for flowers to be planted  that wont be till our May long weekend which is in two weeks so I am excited about that .  

All in all things are coming together in the gardens and the birds are arriving one at a time  the weather is getting better more sun shine and warmer temps  and I have seen butterfly’s fluttering by to so I am a happy camper .

                                                           Things are good in our neck of the Woods !

                                                                            Until next time
