SPRING IS OFFICIALLY HERE IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN!!

Yes, it has finally arrived because today we saw a pair of bluebirds. They flew down from the electrical wire after bugs and grubs. the flash of blue is amazing. When I took some drinks to the table out under the big poplar tree in the backyard, there they sat on a limb above the table. Blue birds are very cool. I was hoping they would take up residence in the bird box that is on the poplar tree I just mentioned. Wouldn't that be fun to watch. Maybe I will spot where they have made their home.

The next creature to make an appearance was a milk snake that Mudge (our Scottie) has been sniffing the garden for all day. He had it cornered and, sorry to say, that was the end of the snake. I know, bad karma, but I really don't like them in my house. One year, I took seven out of my house. Two I took from under the kitchen table. I even have a snake stick that NB made for me so I can catch them in this noose outfit and let them free. I patiently did set them free for a number of years, but they keep coming back. Soooo....

I put out some hummingbird food because I saw a hummer in my flowers. Sure enough, the female came buzzing around and is at this moment at the feeder. Humming birds really like the wild columbine I have in the garden by the pole barn. I also planted some snapdragons for this sweet little bird.

Well, I could leave out the other wildlife, because here comes a bunny hopping down the trail. It just jumped through the vegetable garden and is sniffing out Big Fred's Jeep. Oh boy, my veggies are up and growing well. I hope BunBun doesn't like string beans or tomatoes. Dem Durn Rabbits.

All in all, a restful day on Wyndyhill. We did wash the inside and outside of the living room windows and BF washed the cars. All in all, it was a restful spring day.
