A very good day!

16 years ago

This is our first year to put up our bluebird houses. When we noticed the bluebirds investigating one of them we got in gear and put up the others so they would have a selection.

While we were concentrating on watching the bluebirds we almost missed the little hummer guy that was visiting our nectar feeder!

He was patient with us though and hung around feeding for awhile before flying off to who knows where..

Yep, today was a very good day! The hummers have found Trenton, Ontario. =)

Or the southern suburbs of Pittsburgh! At least you've had a visit, Penny. Still absolutely nothing here--not even a migrant, let alone a resident breeder. The Bleeding Hearts are in full bloom, and the Columbine is just beginning. What are those little guys waiting for? A red carpet? I'd roll one out, if I thought it would help!

Awesome score! Very pretty! I don't know how big they are or if you use real candles, I saw 'fake' candle lights for sale this year, pretty cheap. Enjoy!

Sherry, I had no idea you could get notice of garden specials at HD! Thanks so much for turning me on to them. I'm gonna definitely sign up because HD is a place I visit often during the gardening year, for soil, stakes, fertilizer, trellises, plants, gardening tools, whatever! Congrats on all your plants, Pam! Even at their common prices, they had those 5-gallon butterfly bushes (boy, were they HUGE) last year for $15. They must have been about 6' tall when I saw them, and about 4' wide. That's still a darned good price for a large plant like that. Woo-hoo, you got a 5-gal for a 1-gal price! Those of stories I LOVE to hear. I know you're planning to segregate those milkweeds before offering them up, huh? HD always sprays their plants. Susan

Steve, very nice! That large blue, that's the way to go. My large ones from Land of the Giants are in the ground, Lakeside Shore Master, Dick Ward and Ryan's Big One, are spreading their leaves, do not seem to miss a beat, instant gratification. That Lachman seedling is a beauty, nice blue flowers! My streaked seedlings are also outside, they germinated around the end of January, no flowers yet, will also make some pictures. This year I will sow them much earlier. Advice for seed growers. When keeping the data on a computer, do backups of the file on another memory device every 2 weeks or so. I lost all my data since January because data had to be erased due to malware. And that was inspite of having McAfee Security, Spysweeper and Window Wash. Bernd

Niagra Falls, NY is not that far away from me so at least we know they are around us. =)

Most likely he won't return because I don't have any flowers blooming yet but I was thankful and glad I had hung the feeders last week!

Ummm red carpet, got me thinking here, maybe we could all paint our driveways red. Now that would surely be a big enough beacon! LOL
