It's chilly this morning
so I busied myself filling the feeders
pulling a few weeds
...though NOT deadly nightshade
I think that is what is giving me a rash on my hands
despite the fact that I wear gloves
I may have to find superman kind
...cause I'm not giving up weeding
And to think I let that darn plant go
because some critters can actually eat the berries
CURSES
It's battle time around here
But the Cedar waxwings have arrived in force
waiting for every serviceberry to ripen
...get in line
the Robins were here first

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that's Happy Jack....looking for a place to dig up

a few columbine are still blooming

Me and Boo (my kitty)
love to watch the doves
strut across the deck
I was hoping to remove the deck this year and do a patio
but window replacrment in Galena put that on the back burner
There's always next year....guess I'll have to clean and stain it one more year
I just had my breakfast on the deck and threw a few of my blueberries to Mr. Robin
who was waiting a few feet away....
knows I am easy

"What a happy woman I am living in a garden, with books,babies,birds and flowers,
and plenty of leisure to enjoy them....
Sometimes I feel as if I were blest above all my fellows
 in being able to find
my happiness so easily."
