Ahhhhhhh, Tulip Time in SLC!


April 29th: Yes, Jody, we just thought winter was over, and so did our little tulips. Poor them -- they came out ready to show off their colors and look what happened. Oh well, they'll have lots of moisture and the cooler weather may even make 'em last longer. More for our neighbors and us to enjoy. I am barefoot and didn't want to step off the porch to shoot these pics. Lazy me!

The 4+ inches on the table shows what we're getting as of 10 this morning.





This is what happens when a new squirrel feeder is installed without providing adequate directions to the squirrels. He (she?) tried to gnaw thru the wood to get to the peanuts. All he (she?) had to do was crawl thru the gap I conveniently made for them at the top. But, no, had to damn near destroy it. Wood chips were flying everywhere. Those rodent teeth do a job!!

4/28: Outside MK's office window. She has several new bird feeders so she can commune with the variety of birds that visit us. I swear, we have the most delectable yard for birds in town (or at least our birdfeed bill indicates this).

Many new tulips were put in last year under "Lindy's" window. Made a real difference in this area.



Sorry, it's a bit fuzzy. My favorite angle. Shows the remodel (2005) well and the garden.
