Hummingbirds are supposed to be attracted to fountains, too.
Always meant to get one. Nothing fancy, just a solar one that can be plopped into a birdbath. Anything to bring the hummers out. Lovey dubby

You are correct on that Orion. The Hummingbirds here love to bath in the water as it is falling over the edge into the bottom area . I am amazed that they are doing this in the very early morning when it is cold and the water is very cold!!!

What a glorious day for working in the garden with clear blue skies and highs in the mid 60s.

Becoming colder here as the week progresses too. 58/30 today, sunny, very windy - 35 mph gusts overnight badly frightened Maverick. Daffodils, forsythia, tulip magnolias, periwinkle all in bloom; Bradford pear, other trees and shrubs are budded. It is going to be below freezing for several nights. The daffs and periwinkle will be fine, but the rest may be bitten. Happens every year!

Hilarious! Looks like you have your hands full Ginny. Whistling
Hoping she does not eat those daffodils as payback! Rolling my eyes.

Such a pretty pup! That's a great idea to let her drag the leash inside. Thumbs up

Yesterday was fairly nice with sun in the afternoon. Today was not as nice with lots of clouds and wind. Rained over night and a little this morning so not much could be done outside. I did get a chance to walk around and check out plants, saw some daff's starting to come up. Looks like the semps took the early cold with no snow the hardest. It was so wet last fall with all the rain then cold rain. A little rescue work on them when I get to that area and they should fill in quick enough. Temps today were 34 & 53, 53 was during one sunny period around noon. Most of the day was mid 40's with all the clouds.

44/22 today, mostly sunny, clouds later with snow flurries/showers possible late afternoon or tonight. Might have to go take a photo of the neighbor's gorgeous forsythia while it's still gorgeous!

Yes it feels like the edge of winter with temps in the mid to upper 40s and a brisk wind, but it looks like spring
