Since all it has done for the past 5 days is rain, I have not worked in the yard a bit and am itching to do so. Though instead, I have been enjoying the bountiful blooms in the garden from the shelter of my home. The colors and textures are wonderful and I am quite impressed with myself and my plant choices, though of course, there is so much I still want to accomplish/move/change.
I have also been enjoying the many birds that visit my garden throughout the day. I particularly have fun watching two finch couples. They visit the thistle feeder throughout the day and also really seem to enjoy the for-get-me-not seeds that are on the stems. I have wanted to sprinkle the spent for-get-me-not stems in my little meadow for next year’s enjoymennt, but it has just been too wet. It’s nice to see the finches enjoying them in the meantime!
