Flowers in my backyard

Hummingbird in my backyard.

Did you know most hummingbirds return to the same feeders every year? 

In Pennsylvania the last of this species will depart around late September or early October. It's recommended to leave your hummingbird feeders full of nectar about two weeks after you see the last one, just in case there are some hanging around before heading to southern Mexico.

Two new birdhouses from Wegmans

Wegmans has a beautiful selection of birdhouses made by Home Bazaar.

They are functional and decorative. The finish is a non-toxic, water based paint. Wrens, Chickadees, Nuthatches and Titmice will fit in the 1.25” entry hole. I saw some on Amazon.com under “Home Bazaar Inc” too.

I am happy I planted these tulips last fall.

Easter egg tree...Try it!

I love decorating my tree out front with plastic eggs. It's so colorful for the neighbors to enjoy as they walk or drive by.  

The Easter tree tradition is centuries old and is said to originate in Germany. 

It’s a sign of Spring!

Remembering Capone...

Run free.... I miss you.

It’s snowing in Pennsylvania but I know Spring is coming soon.

I miss digging in the garden when I look at these beautiful pictures of my flowers.
