The heavy rains from both storms last week bowed the heads of the hydrangea revealing Dido the Gargoyle's hiding place.
Oh, no! I forgot to bring my black cat, Halloween garden flag in before the storm. The wind blew the flag away.
The first storm dumped nearly 5 inches of rain on us. The second storm, a few days later, dumped almost 4 more inches of rain.
Rocky is the only Zensical Garden statue left in the Zensical Garden. The dragons, glass birds, and meditating bear were brought in before the storm.
Wednesday morning sunrise. The phone camera didn't capture the beautiful light or the red sky.
Blue Jays have been visiting the feeder lately. They are elusive and I've had a hard time capturing a picture. Managed to photo this guy looking for tasty seeds in the grass.
The Cardinals stopped making an appearance at the feeder for a few weeks. They have come back. The male Cardinal surveys his kingdom. Hi, Dad!
The male Cardinal and a House Wren share the feeder perch.
The female Cardinal takes her turn at the feeder. Hi, Ma!
A red squirrel is a new visitor to the feeder. Ink's statue was brought inside before the storm.
How does your garden grow?
Your garden is still looking good. Nice to meet Dido, too. Your blue jays are different to ours, but look related. I discovered a few last blooms on my balcony yesterday. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI'm happy the flowers are trying to hold on to the warmer weather.
DeleteLove the hydrangeas. Beautiful colorful birds. Enjoy today's mild weather.😘
ReplyDeleteWaiting for Monday. I think temps are supposed to be even warmer. Maybe close to 70. Maybe I'm wishful thinking. :-D
DeleteThis week, your garden went to the birds. Gotta feel bad about the Halloween banner, though. Believe it or not, your garden still looks really good for November and all it's been through this past week.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was really sad when I realized the Halloween banner was gone.
DeleteYour lawn looks so leaf free. Mine is brown with blown off leaves. This week they say it's going to get cold so sadly, your hydrangeas, like mine, are probably going to be going to sleep for the winter. :( Happy end of the weekend. What a dark dreary day this became. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteLeaf free only because the Lawn Service showed up this week to clean up the leaves.
DeleteWhat fun to watch the goings on in your garden! :D
ReplyDeleteI'll offer to come down and watch the goings on in your garden all Winter long. =^,.^=
DeleteDido looks very happy peeking out from behind that beautiful hydrangea, boo!...lol 😉. You have had quite a few visitors after the storm with the blue jay, cardinals, house wrens and red squirrel; it's lovely to see them in your garden 😁. Hope you had a lovely weekend and wishing you a happy new week! J 😊
ReplyDeleteThe feeder gets quite busy in the afternoon. Warm temps are getting the week off to a very happy start.
DeleteI love the bird photos! We have a huge family of bluejays here. I should try to get some photos! I'm sorry about your flag! You sure did get a lot of rain! We had tones last night!
ReplyDeleteI love watching the birds at the feeder. And the little critters, too. So funny sometimes
