Here you go Sheri.
This Morning I sat in the yard - turn up your volume and listen to my birds. I had to stay behind the fence because they're shy so you can't see them as well as I would have wanted. You sure can hear them!
Recognize any specific bird sounds?
In the late afternoon, around dinner time, that Bird Feeder is the place to be if you are a feathered friend. For the most part we have kingfishers, jays, nuthatches, mountain chickadees, robins, rock doves, finches along with hummingbirds, ravens, and woodpeckers. The other evening, I saw a pure white dove. I noticed it out of the corner of my eye due to its graceful fluttery landing on the bird feeder. It was so pretty. Yesterday morning, I saw a red wing black bird. Beautiful. Of course I was without my phone but I doubt if I could have taken it's picture.
That's just the back yard - we have feeders and birds in the front as well.
Roses are budding.
I haven't planted anything yet but I plan to soon. I'm a morning "gardening person" Soon BSF will be over and that will give me an extra day. I do my grocery shopping on Friday mornings.
I didn't know I had white Irises
I've been a bit perturbed. I ordered a research book on Scott County and its role in the Civil War. It mentions many people in my family, so I was excited about getting it. I ordered through Barnes and Noble online - they shipped it to UPS, and then UPS shipped it to USPS.
No one knows where it is. UPS and USPS say it's not them. Barnes and Noble told me to talk to the carriers. Everyone passes the buck. Meanwhile, I don't have my book.
When I track it, it says,
It's On It's Way!
Call me anxious, but I think I am going to order the book again—this time, skip the free delivery and pay for it. It will come faster. Then, I will either report the first one as missing or get a refund for the first one.
I WANT THAT BOOK, BAD!
More of the blue/purple are coming in...
I guess Foodie is leaving for his backpacking snowshoeing trip this Friday. The weather in the mountains where he is going will be clear - down to the mid 40's at night and mid 60's in the day.
Time to grill some burgers!
Have a great evening
