Birds, Plants and Other Stuff

I haven’t seen “that” bird yet today, but I am still watching.  Also, I haven’t mentioned my three new tulip poplar trees that I bought last year.  All three made it thru the winter and are looking really good.  All this rain the last couple of days has really helped everything grow.  Trees, flowers, and garden all looking great.

Had another shower this afternoon.  So far we have had almost an inch of rain today.  I updated KARSAKERFARM blog today.  I have three more updates I am working on.  Kevin was working in the garden tonight so I talked to him for a while.  Kevin and Renea are taking her parents to the airport in the morning.  They have been here for a week and are now heading home. 

I am so excited about the one hydrangea bush this year.  It looks better than ever and has quite a few blooms.  There are also a lot of “buds” so I should have even more blooms.

Also, the lantanas are doing great.  They are bigger for this time of year than ever. 

Even the hummingbird bush has blooms.

Finished all of my genealogy classes.  However, I signed up for several more.  I really enjoy them and I am learning a lot.  I have also found a lot of information about my ancestors because of these classes.

The “bird” is still hanging around.  Every time I go to get my camera though he flies away.  I also saw my first hummingbird today.  And a second one.

 

Went outside to transplant some flowers that are not doing well and, of course, it started to rain.  Came in and now the sun is out.  Go figure.  I will go back out shortly.  I want to get them planted today.

Frustration – I bought a package of brand new batteries, and now that I need them I cannot find them.  I will keep looking.  I will probably buy another package.

I did get back outside.  Transplanted the flowers.  The only thing I didn’t get done was planting a few marigolds I had purchased.  They should last for another day.  Came back inside and ate supper and took a shower.  I planned to watch the All Star NASCAR race this evening.  However, it started so late I only saw the first fifty laps.  I just couldn’t stay awake any longer so Penny and I went to bed.  She is so used to me going to bed at a certain time that she was pestering me.  So, I gave her a treat and we went to bed.

Woke up this morning to a beautiful day.  I ended up mowing all the grass in my front yard while Kevin mowed the back yard.  Now I am worn out.  I have had my shower and will be joining Kevin and Renea for supper.

By the way, I never did find my batteries so I borrowed some from Renea.
