It's spring! Everything is turning green again. I'm smiling and singing along with mother nature. And the song begins...
So let me tell ya bout the birds and the bees
and the flowers and the trees
and the moon up above
and a thing called LOVE!
LAUGH AND A SMILE. ❤️
Everything seems to be coming along. The Barn Swallows are nesting at the front porch and the Phoebes are nesting at the back porch. As usual for this time of year. LOL The Black Bellied Whistling Ducks have returned and I saw some Wood Ducks hanging around. Yesterday I saw a Great Egret fly in like an angel with its giant pure white wings and land at the edge of the pond. I didn't have my camera. The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have been showing up since the end of March. Hubby built two new hummingbird feeder posts this winter. Each post has four hooks but more can be added. Four feeders are hanging so far.
It looks like the Phoebes have hatched and the parents are both feeding their babies.
Eastern Phoebe couple resting on a garden trellis. I'm sure I've said this before but I can't help but talk about how much I love having the Phoebes in the garden. They're such sweet birds and great fly catchers. The flying bugs don't stand a chance in the garden. I make a point to put up at least one trellis and some tomato cages for them to perch on. The leaves of the tomato plant get "droppings" but they rinse off. HA! And the plants probably like the extra nitrogen.
Here's the Black Bellied Whistling Ducks
Male Wood Duck. He was on the ground and then joined the female up in the tree but she flew off before I could get a picture of both of them.

We're having beautiful weather. It was supposed to get down to the low 30's last night but I don't think it got as cold as forecasted. I brought a bunch of potted plants into the garage and covered some things I thought might be vulnerable to a frost. Better safe than sorry... Other than that it's like a thick green jungle out there! And loud with all the birds and other critters singing. I love spring.
I'm just about done with my seed sowing, I think. It's never for sure because I may get the urge to grow something else or I might have forgotten something I really wanted bad enough to grow from seed. I'll have to get a list together and add it to my next blog post.
Several kinds of salvias are growing for the hummingbirds, and other things with them in mind.
Spent most of the day outdoors. Cooked on the grill. It was another beautiful day. Not spending much time in front of the TV and less time on the computer. If I watch or read too much about current events, I start to feel like I'm living in a duel reality. It makes me sad to see and hear so many people still living in fear.
On a more personal note, I'm off my BP meds. Yay! I'll tell you more about that next time.
Luke 2:52, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man."
Psalms 34:4 - I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
