It was a nice weekend for us . Saturday was a bit shaky with the weather but that was ok but yesterday, Sunday was awesome . Sunny with a bit of a cool breeze but best of all our Baltimore Orioles and Hummers returned ! WOOHOO!!! Good thing I have my nectar feeders out full and ready for them cause they were hungry .Our peepers are out at night in full force in the marshy swampy parts of the valley and on the river banks serenading us every night I love that as it echoes through the valley !. Papa was busy making me some thing out of the log pieces from our take down and trimming of the Cedars last weekend ! I wasn’t allowed to see it till he had finished it , I like surprises ! I took photos and gardened and took more photos !
Miggs was happy about the weather to !
Trees are sprouting like crazy now !
Lilac buds are close to popping !
Hyacinths are out all though not as full this year . I think the harsh winter is to blame !
Wild flowers are peeking through the grasses !
Tiny bees are gathering all over our Japanese willow bushes !
Miggs was guarding my gardening tools and bucket , she was just about to lay down as I called her !
My giant Lilies are growing !
Our Baltimore Oriole I named Tang is back and singing and chatting up a storm and feeding on our nectar feeders ! I saw two other males flying around as well !!
The hummers were zooming back and forth to the feeders soo fast I didn’t get any photos of them yet , I will have to wait till they have fuelled up a bit more and calmed down lol !
Papa’s first grass cut of the season . Our grass was soo thick ! I love the smell of fresh cut grass !
Then Papa was busy making me something that I wasn’t allowed to photography or see till he was all done !
A cute little garden bench made out of our Cedar logs that we took down last weekend !
I love it .. isn't it cute ? ! Thanks Papa xoxo
He screwed the logs together with galvanized screws so they don't rust and used bale twine as well to tie some parts and used some of the branches for the back as they are bendable and bent them into shape and tied them off with the twine !
I found a perfect place for my Cute new little bench !
Here I can see it from the patio and kitchen !
I think I will put a planter of pretty flowers on it soon ,what ya think ?
I am out of gardening shape of the bending, twisting , leaning and pulling cant do as much as I used to lol , so today is rest for me . The weather this week is to be sunny and summer like temps WOOHOO ! oh and our Chipmunks Chippy and Sammy have come out of hibernation and Barn Swallows are back and Cow birds . Just one more bird to arrive and that is our little Wren Molly . I love this time of year when all is a new and all our critters and birdies return and the fresh sweet smelling air of new flowers and grasses !
Until next time my friends !
