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.

Wait, so no more snow? After our visit to Utah, I wasn't convinced winter was done yet. But you have a very pretty garden indeed! And you or Melissa will have to tell us where you buy your bird seed- in the week we were gone, the birds ate everything we left out (almost a whole bag!) and now we have no more...
ReplyDeleteJody--we order most of our food online, here:

They have high quality birdseed, and the large suet blocks are great too. Duncraft has a birdseed-of-the-month type of club, so you can receive it on a schedule if you're so inclined. When I'm desperate (or feeling guilty), I get birdseed from the grocery store, but I think our birds like the Duncraft seed better.
Oh, no! Winter wasn't done yet after all! Poor little tulips! Right when they were about to POP, too!
