Some Of This & That

WOW ! May is almost over already  I cant believe how fast it flew by .

Papa had a nice Birthday yesterday it was a quiet one just us for the most part his mom & dad popped over for a bit and we chatted and had lemonade on the porch  , they brought their dog Jade with them so Miggs and Jade played for a bit  .

Papa had a nice big cake we like to order from our favorite bakery in town all fresh from scratch ingredient's and it freezes nicely for future deserts and tastes fresh every time .

Papa and I have been busy in the gardens planting the odd annuals and some of my hanging pots and now all the gardening is done just the odd pulling of weeds every now and then . Papa did the picket fence garden with plants and started off his pond with a little water feature . Sorry about the pic the sun was beaming in my eyes and it was taken with my phone lol !

We have lots of baby birds about and have to watch our step in the grass and surrounding area  , they sometimes tend to fall or be pushed out of the nests or fly the coop and just cant get going right away lol !Baby Robin snuggling down in the grass by the hedges where he fell out , he is ok now and a very strong little one as he now can fly high enough to get into the trees . Thankfully Miggs doesn't bother with them .

Grackle baby  , not the cutest looking but still natures baby . He to now can fly and is stronger .

                                                                       The moon at sunset the other evening .

Miggs has been galavanting about the yard from sunrise to sunset every day and our walks have been getting longer again now she has recovered so well finally and is able to run and play again to , so nice to have her back to her old self .

We have had two couples of Grosbeak's visit our feeder every evening and have their supper the ladies eat first then the guys it is soo cute to watch them as they sometimes feed each other and share.

Now that all our yard work and gardens are done now we get to sit back relax and enjoy  it all . I am awaiting the arrival of the Monarch butterfly's  they have been spotted north east of us near lake Ontario , our  lake Erie migration should be with in a few days , we have had lots of moths and smaller butterfly's flit about and soon will be stopping to snack on the butterfly weed , bushes and milk weed once it has bloomed , looking forward to all that .

                                                                                        Until next time
