What's Up??

We saw this dandelion field as we were zooming down the road one day. My great granddaughter said "Wow! That's a lot of dandelions!" ha! ha!

I had this inquisitive little squirrel.. (which I haven't seen for awhile.)

He got up in my old wheelbarrow..butt in the air!! Looking, searching..trying to find IT!

I think he must have buried a nut or something in there. Maybe he found all of  the ones he had buried in my pots and planters..

I had lots of these cat birds...they are marked really pretty.

And of course the orioles. They came for quite awhile, but had to share their grape jelly and oranges with the cat birds. sad So, I haven't seen them much anymore either.

But these sweethearts, come visit all the time. I usually put safflower seed in the pan on the patio. They seem to love it. We've had those black birds here almost all spring. When we fill the suet and seed cakes...they seem to finish them off in a couple days..uggg Finally, last week my son filled the hanging ones again. Yeah!! And thankfully they haven't returned. 

One night there was one of those beautiful moons out..my camera never seems to be able to capture the true essence of it. But it was really pretty!

 

Are you ready for the 4th?? I just almost hate to see it come. Our state has legalized fireworks this year. (I know they used to shoot them off before...knowing they'd never get caught). But now...it's terrible...they are really shooting off BIG ones. Poor Rusty, he just goes nuts. Do you have big plans for this holiday weekend?? I hear on the news the price of regular gas have dropped below $2.00 a gallon. What is your price where you live?? It's $2.06 where I live, and $1.95 across town!!! (I'm assuming one area sells more than the other.) Stay safe...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cedar Waxwing

 

Look at what was at our bird bath this week! I saw several birds flying into the tree. I really didn't know what kind of birds they were, just that there were lots of them.. smile....

So, just started snapping pictures of them. Had I known, I would have gotten better pictures..

 

Do you see the three of them?? They look like bandits don't they?? When I finally downloaded these photos, I realized they actually were Cedar Waxwings!!

 

See the tail? Red across the back and yellow at the end of the tail! The markings of a Cedar Waxwing.



I love to see dandelions...maybe because they are yellow! hee..hee. But like us...we don't like them in our yard. However, we're surrounded by yards of yellow!! Which is a good thing, as I've read that they are important for the bees. So there is good in everything...even dandelions! smile...

 

Looks like this week will be a rainy one for us, which is good, since it is spring! What is your weather like?
