Gardening snoopervisors

Everyone with a pulse was out and about last weekend. After caring for a kitty client in the mornings, I headed straight to the funny little greenhouse to do more planting.
Don't laugh at my boom-box. It's all I could find in the garage that takes batteries. :)
The side windows open for more ventilation. It can get very hot and humid in there. Great for the sprouts but not so much for the gardener.

I had lots of interest from furry and feathered critters, especially Simon and mama tree swallow. It was very busy on our little property.




Mama tree swallow hung her head out to watch me walking by with my wheel-barrow. She didn't seem too concerned. I think she feels right at home here.



I believe we had a Northern Flicker drop by.

I'm happy to welcome May today and waiting on my spring flowers
to burst open.

"Happy May, everyone"

hugs, Deb

  4. May! YAY! I heard about a moon garden this weekend, so now I'm going to research local plants that bloom at night, for the bats to feed on!

  5. Looks like spring is starting off beautifully. The little tree swallow on her new home is so precious and it's always good too see Simon. The turkey looks like it could send your bird food budget through the roof!
    Hugs and prayers for Annie.

  7. Did I tell you that I saw a wild turkey up by Walmart a while ago? Looking at yours now I know that's what it was! It was crossing six lanes of traffic!
    I would NEVER make fun of your boom box, Deb.
    Spring is springing up for you, finally! Yay! Love to Annie and hugs to Audrey the Audacious!

  9. It's predicted to be 25° here in southern Alberta by Thursday - feast or famine! And the trees are coming out in funny, thin, green paper at the ends of their branches. Everyone is quite mystified.

    Kim, at Musings on a Small Life, had a turkey land on her fence the other day, right in the middle of Kingston!

    I hope Annie continues to improve.

I have a boom box in my sewing room :) I suppose one of these days I'll learn to live stream the music....until then it works for me! xx Karen

  16. I love your little Greenhouse! I need one of those. It's the perfect size!

    And I'm so glad the cat-sitting business is up and booming in your area. They're lucky to have you!

  17. Late commenting here so maybe you won't see this but wanted to tell you, yes, that is a flicker. We have them here in Nebr.

    That first photo of Simon is just too cute! I would be so tempted to try to pet him!

    And, one more thing, we have a boom box just like that so, no, won't be laughing at yours. They work just fine.

    Continued love and prayers for Annie from Nebraska ><>
