Too much time has passed since my last gardening post although a lot has happened in the yard and soon the winter solstice will be upon us. Time for merry cheer around the fireplace not out in the yard… However…
Today I have to share the survivalist. We’ve had some nipping cold temps, near freezing and the blanket flower is loving the dry cold.
Today the sun was shining, the high was 50 degrees and there was very little wind. After a long walk along the lake shore Molly and I settled on the “veranda” to enjoy the afternoon. The birds are loving the new feeder that Tommy gave me for my birthday. They were flocking around it. One at a time, two at a time, up to five at a time.
I think the big hog is a wood pecker and notice the other biggy hanging by for his turn to nip some free seed is a blue jay. The big boys were being nice today and letting the smaller birds in for their fair share too.
What a wonderful day to enjoy along the shore of the lake.
