An Early Morning Walk About

 

Miggs and I had an early morning  walk about the yard as the sun had just risen  and was shining it’s lovely soft light and the temps were cool but refreshing . Before I even got out there Mr Robin was waiting for me under the patio porch perched on the top railing of Miggs swing !

                                                                     Good morning Mrs Robin .

                                                                  So I took her photo and off he went !

                             Then I went out into the yard and was looking for things to photograph .

I guess the birdies were still sleeping as there were none on my feeders , oh I know why  Miggs was in hot pursuit of a squirrel  just on the other side of this big tree .

                                             Miggs leave Speedy squirrel alone he was having breakfast !

Over across the yard I noticed the last blue Jay we have here as I think they all have gone now ,oh and Mr Squirrel who is a newbie to our yard feasting on seed in the bowl on the stump !

Lots of buds everywhere ready to pop with blooms or leaves . My Lilacs here are close to bursting and I cant wait  I have a row of them in the back and one in the center of the yard  all different colours !

                                                             Trees are getting their seeds for leaves .

                                                             Forsythia bushes are bursting in buds .

                       Our row of Japanese willows are full of new buds , they are pretty when all in bloom !

                                          Our Irises  are growing and will be in  bloom soon on our hill .

                            This year  in my gardens all my Daffs and Tulips are late but they are getting there .

                       Birdies are busy feasting and nesting and the guys are attracting  the ladies singing  their songs and doing their  crazy dancing lol !

                             My Geraniums inside waiting to be able to go out side , not long now my pretties !

The sun shines almost every day now and the temps are going back up to where they should be , grass is a deep green and will need to be cut soon  . All is coming along wonderfully . I have a few things left to tidy up in the gardens but for the most part it is all done  next will be making a trip to my garden center on our May long weekend and picking up my flowers and plant them , cant wait for that .   Waiting and looking forward to the Hummers and Orioles to show up soon .

        Also  Looking forward to our crab apple tree to bloom and buzz as it does every spring with bees as they collect it’s nectar .

                                  So I will  be on my way  now , a photo of  last years crab apple tree in full bloom  !

                                              Soon our yard will be full of blooms and more birds and critters  , I love it !!!

                                                                                     Until next time !

As I said a few choice not so nice cover your ears this will be bad potty mouth words when I woke up looked out the window to see this !!! REALLY !! are you serious ? !!! oh come on , get over , enough already ! oh man , and there is still  some floating about out there ! The temps aren’t to be desired either 0°C  Feels like –6 or  32°F Feels like 21 , again … REALLY ! !!

 

                                Well no picnics here at this rate , unless picnicking in a parka is a new thing  .

                                                    

                                             And no sun tanning in the lounge chair either !BRR  just the thought !!

Even the poor Robins are all puffed up looking miserable whilst they bob around trying to keep warm and gather worms that  thankfully for them  aren't frozen in the ground , one good thing is that the land is warm or more of this white stuff would of accumulated  , thank goodness for the land being warm at least that’s something .

                                I can just hear the choice words this guy is thinking with that look on his beak  lol !

                                               I think what little plants I have growing are in shock lol !!

                                     Welcome to Southwestern Ontario Canada’s crazy weather never a dull moment !

  Not a sign of any other birds or even critters this morning when I was taking these photos   just  the Robins  who are brave enough and  still hunt and catch worms to stay warm , would you  like that toasted buddy ?, may help to stay warm ??!! all though the worms may slip through the toaster a bit !  ha ha !!  yup gota have a sense of humour for our wacky weather cause if not you will go nuts !!

                                          Either that or I didn’t get as much sleep last night as I thought lol !!

             Guess I will bring out the winter coats again  , I knew that was a mistake when I put them away lol  I should of known lol .

Oh well… it is what it is and come summer some of us will be complaining it is to hot  , NOT ! me that’s for sure  bring it on !
