Welcomed and NOT so welcomed change
Q
Comments (9)
I saw my first Junco last week. I am hoping that I'll see more. I have seeing White Crown sparrow lately, too. The gold finches (no longer gold) seemed to have come back from where-ever they had gone. I am hoping to see some American Tree Sparrow next. They are the most common birds in my yard during last winter. Now that it's cold enough, I put up my modified suet feeder (with a tail extender attachment). The woodpecker found it within 5 min. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make the Red Belly woodpecker that comes infrequently to come more often. How long do the ducks stay? I thought they have left by now with the water staring to freeze, but a large group seems to come in the morning to raid the feeders. I am hoping that they leave before more of the Junco comes back. I can't keep anything in the ground feeder. Paul

I had a mat, but the chipmunk who lives in our shrubbery decided to eat it. I don't know where the little beastie put all the mat; he must have welcomed some of his rodent friends over for the feast.

Rocky is HOME!!! thanks everyone. Melinda sent him home with goodies, so, this afternoon when the ice cleared I went into town Rocky was waiting and as usual he claimed to be starving. Melinda sent him home with goodies We opened the Hershey's gold bar and shared that right away. Rocky declared that a fine snack but he's looking for MORE so I'll use the pecans in his chocolate chip cookies and try to sneak the pistacios away for myself. Prizes are already enroute to Ruth , Debbie and Susan. Should arrive soon and I'm throwing one in for Melinda too. A special thanks for being a good sport through the delay and detour. Now I'm off to feed this hungry squirrel Thanks again ladies. As usual , with the flying squirrel, there are always surprises along the way

Beautiful! I love Lime Smoothie! And tell me about ruffled BME? Where did you get it? Is it larger than BME? Seedling? or sport?

Hi Myrle,

Lovely new additions! Wish I had room for them all...

The 5th and 6th picture are of the same two plants, which is the correct id?

I think that Lime Smoothie is really a standout too. I don't know how much it will change over the summer.

The Blue Mouse ears is an impulse buy from last week. I'm nervious about buying locally because of the possibility of HVX. This was the only one in a batch of Blue Mouse ears that looked like this so I decided to see what it does. I'll keep it isolated for a few years just in case. Once my own Blue Mouse Ears is up, I'll photograph them together.

Pieter, The solid,light yellow one is Coconut Custard. The white centered one is White Elephant which I'd never heard of. My sister got it at Naylor after asking for what is the newest one that I might not have. It's so new they didn't even put it in their catalogue this year. It's from Night Before Christmas.

Yours aren't up? Down here in Zone 7, I just assume that my two died over the winter. :(
