Finally! A Saturday that is warm enough and not raining. I cleaned out the flower bed and planted sunflower seeds, mixed flowers, elephant ears and cana lillies....

I knew I had been hearing some tweetering in the mornings, but wasn't sure where it was coming from. I found two little babies looking over the side of a nest... probably wanting a big juicy worm! I found plenty in the flower bed when I was cleaning it out, but momma bird needs to be the one to feed them!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Those canna lilies will spread like crazy.   Each year by flower bed grows with those things.    They sure are pretty, thought.     Sounds like you are going to have a very pretty summer.    (We have bird feeders all around my yard so we can watch the birds.   I like that.)

I had a starling build her nest in one of my hanging plants on the side porch last year. Loved watching the chicks hatch, up to the eventful take off. I'm hoping to finish getting my garden cleared out and ready in the next few days. (Hugs) Indigo

Hi Jackie - I've always had little critters of some sort. God sorta appointed me to the position of animal rescuer and children's guardian. I applied for the position of ladies man, but he said I wasn't qualified. That's ok, I'll stick with the kids and critters.

I missed most of Saturday due to a late Friday, but I catching up now checking out the journals. Stay Tuned !
