Lily of the valley pips poking up through the violets
The male cardinal was keeping an eye on me as I walked around the yard
Hosta
Little grape hyacinths
Himself's birthday month flag
Daffodil trumpets the petals have dried up
Buds on the snowball bush
Two-toned daffodils
a sunny dandelion
The cardinal had flown high up into the tree. Watching me and singing, to it, to it, to it, purdy, purdy, purdy Perhaps a warning to his mate in the nest in the honeysuckle vine
Late afternoon and this dandelion is going to sleep
She's hard to see, but the female cardinal is sitting in the nest
The Japanese maple is leafing out
as is the swamp maple
foggy morning
The bunny enjoys the grass over the septic tank

How does your garden grow?
The grass is always greener over the septic tank! LOL (wouldn't that make a great book title?) Your garden is waking up. The snowball bush promises a great show this year. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're too late with the book title idea. Erma Bombeck published her book The Grass is Always Greener Over The Septic Tank in 1976. However, I don't believe title are copyrighted. 😉
DeleteI JUST came back here to amend my comment after remembering that Erma Bombeck already used that title! LOL .....sorry :-/
ReplyDeleteNo worries
DeleteWe B Warming - Still A Bit Dormant But The Buds Are Starting To Do Their Thang - Your Garden Is Coming Along Rather Nicely - Well Done
ReplyDeleteCheers
Did you get snow and wild weather?
DeleteJapanese maple looking good - it looks like you live down a country road - from what i can tell in the one pic - ..i like your garden.
ReplyDeleteI live on a main road in a rural, farming town.
Deletedefinitely rural is what it looked like. must be beautiful around there.
DeleteYour hostas are up way more than mine. Isn't it great to see things getting so green? I spent a good chunk of my day working outside until a stray shower came through. Did you get any? Its all looking great in your yard CJ. Hope it was a bright day for you.
ReplyDeleteIt rained all afternoon.
DeleteLove the birthday month flag!
ReplyDeleteIn the neighbor´s garden the tree suddenly is green with leaves. As if it had happened over night!
Sad side: it will be hard to see Peanut´s siblings chasing each other there...
No, as you see Peanuts's siblings, you'll remember the happy times you had seeing him, and the times he enjoyed treats at your house
DeleteYour garden is looking good, lots going on there in the birding department, too! My balcony is still not planted, I wsill try to get it done, soon! Have a great week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI have to get some flowers for the box at the mailbox and stairs.
DeleteIf I want anything in bloom this time of year (except for the honeysuckle) I have to buy it already in bloom. Your flowers are a treat to see. The goldfinches loved us when we had that Big Snow, but they haven't come back since. The chickadee, otoh, has been a frequent visitor these last few weeks. Aren't cardinals a wonderful bright spot?!
ReplyDeleteThe cardinals and the goldfinches make a bright show
DeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteSo far
DeleteYour garden looks far better than mine. Mine is waking slowly. I just love how yours is doing. And that birthday flag is wonderful, too. I love that Japanese Maple. It is beautiful. This is a delightful garden post this week. So much green and a cardinal family, too.
ReplyDeleteMy parents brought the Japanese maple as a twig from the Japanese maple in their yard.
DeleteThat is cool!
DeleteGreat photos CJ! Love the tree pictures and the foggy morning! Happy Birthday to himself! I can see the female cardinal! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you can see her. She really scrunches way down in the nest. Sometimes all you can see is a little bit of her orange beak
