The honeysuckle vine has filled out creating a cozy bower for Mama Cardinal. The leaves are so thick it's hard to see her. She has been sitting in the nest for a week. I assume she's sitting on her clutch, but I haven't been able to get a peek inside the nest as the nest walls are too high.
New welcome knick knack. And the magnets that I use when I bring the garden flag inside look like eyes. 😺
A little bunch of daffodils popped up at the end of the walk.
A blustery Saturday felt more like March than almost May
Some white violets
A dandelion all by his lone. I think all the rain we have had has drowned the plants.
Daffodils in the middle of the woods. Himself said when he was cleaning out the garden by the garage a year or two ago, he tossed pieces of bulbs in the woods.
Things not looking good for the mountain laurel. Someone on the town Facebook site said her rhododendrons had some sort of blight.
Inside, I planted the morning glory seeds I harvested from Reggie's morning glories last year.
Atticus stopped by for dinner.
How does your garden grow?
Looking good! I love those daffodils! :D
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty especially where they pop up where they are not expected.
DeleteI love your garden photos and always look forward to your posts with them. Yes, the winds have made it rather chilly here as well. VERY windy indeed!
ReplyDeleteWe have sooo many dandelions it isn't even funny. Those and daisies, of course. I mean EVERYWHERE! LOL!
I think the constant rain has stopped the dandelions. Too bad as they are the first food for the bees.
DeleteI enjoyed trekking through your garden. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAny time.
DeleteMy daffodils haven't bloomed in YEARS. I think they need better soil and replanting. I'm envious of yours.
ReplyDeleteLaughed at the eyes, especially once I noticed them (grin)!! Your garden will look really good once the rains stop in your neck of the woods. Sorry about the possible blight, though.
If the rain every stops.
DeleteIt is so exciting to see everything greening up. You are just a bit ahead of me. Of course if we ever got a completely warm and sunny day I think both of our gardens would go crazy. Hope you stay dry and warm in the next few days. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYes, you stay warm and dry, too
DeleteIt's looking more and more like spring at your place. My balcony garden is flourishing. Valerie
ReplyDeleteYour balcony garden must be beautiful and I love your walks along the Rhine.
DeleteI love your Springs sights! We're enjoying some color on the patio, including a bit of red honeysuckle. It hardly ever blooms. Maybe it needs fertilizer of some sort. It grows well in the pot except for the lack of blooms. We saw a pair a bluebirds at our feeders day before yesterday! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteMy honeysuckle bush seems to grow wild. It should have been cut back in the Fall. I've only seen a bluebird once a few years ago during a January thaw of all times.
Deletewell look at that - you have color!!
ReplyDeleteFinally!
DeleteIt's looking more like spring, the colour is coming and I do like daffodils. Mind you even dandelions have a bright cheerful colour don't they.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I love dandelions. They remind me of the bouquets the girlies would pick for me when they were little.
DeleteLove the daffodils and your little dandelion! I think your tree has some kind of fungus? Could be from all the rain! Love your welcome sign and flag! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think that tree and its partner have a problem and will have to be taken down. If the ground ever dries out so the tree guy can get his equipment back there.
