Not much change in the garden between last week and this, but there are some small changes
If you look very carefully, you can see the female cardinal in the honeysuckle vine. I've caught her visiting a couple of times a day. She sometimes has bits of grass or twigs in her beak, and I think she may be trying to build her nest in the vine. Other times, I've seen her tug at the vine and come away with a twig and fly off perhaps, just gathering material to build her nest elsewhere.
Here she is emerging from the vine.
And finally, near my neighbor's driveway. A robin, the first sign of Spring! Taken from the livingroom window, that little speck is the robin.
And inside, Concordia, the peace lily, is working on a flower.
How does your garden grow?
Yup, sure signs of spring alright. We have so many robin's in my area pretty much all the time.
ReplyDeleteI saw a herd of robins while on an outing near Boston and was sad I had not see any robins in my backyard. So I was very happy to see a robin in my neighbor's yard. Spring is finally here!
DeleteYAY! Spring is finally a poppin'! Summer can't be far.....! :D
ReplyDeleteI hope so!
DeleteGlad spring is coming nearer. We saw black swans nesting today. Valerie
ReplyDeleteHope you took some pictures!
DeleteAH, spring has arrived now that the robin has appeared. Looks like MY robins, too! Now I must wait till mine arrive, too.
ReplyDeleteI'll send the robins right over
DeleteCardinals nesting where you can get photos sounds like a real delight! We have them come get food and carry it off, so I know they're nesting nearby but not where I can see. Still sweet :)
ReplyDeleteWe're having more rain. And yet more and more rain. I've planted some seeds for butterflies and hope the rains will help them grow. My peace lilies are happy outside but aren't blooming. We have robins year 'round, but we still call out "first robin of Spring" this time of year ;)
Shouting first robin of Spring made me smile.
DeleteI love robins, they are such a lovely bird.
ReplyDeleteConcordia, the peace lily looks very healthy, I'm not too good with indoor plants!
Happy Sunday.
All the best Jan
I don't have a green thumb. The Eldest's original peace lily is still going. She couldn't take the plant when she moved. Concordia was one of 4 transplants. I gave 3 away. The Eldest told me peace lily was very easy to take care of. They don't like a lot of direct light. They don't need a lot of water. When their leaves droop and the plant looks sad, water. Pretty low maintenance which is good for me and I haven't killed them yet
DeleteOh, won't that be fun to watch, if she builds her nest in the vine?
ReplyDeleteI just hope she won't feel threatened with us going in and out of the sun room.
DeleteI somehow missed this. Your yard is looking like mine but I will say we had a huge amount of melt this past weekend. It felt good to be outside and enjoy the sun. Stay dry today. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI was surprised you still had so much snow. It was good to do a little work outside yesterday. Rainy day today. Perfect art weather.
DeleteHooray, sounds like spring has finally arrived! It's great to see the robin at last 😁. We have lots of birds gathering bits and pieces for their nests too! Wishing you a happy new week! J 😊 x
ReplyDeletei was very happy to see the robin and have been enjoying watching the cardinal.
DeleteThat is so cute about Mrs. Cardinal! I think Spring is here for me finally too, although, they are calling for "maybe" snow on Thursday? LOL!
ReplyDeleteI just heard another blizzard headed for Colorado! Hope you don't get any snow
