Sweet Happenings in the Garden
Another springlike day, and Tiger went out to enjoy; not bad for an 18-year-old cat. Benji is always game; not bad for a tripawd. Flowers are beginning to appear among the fallen leaves and pinecones, this a tiny Cyclamen; this a Lenten Rose. A… Continue Reading “Sweet Happenings in the Garden”

Happy National Feed the Birds Day!
If you plant flowers, herbs and shrubs, and add a water source, they will come! I became a backyard birder accidently some years ago at my home in Seattle, when I planted a garden. The birds were attracted, so I hung feeders. I don’t… Continue Reading “Happy National Feed the Birds Day!”

A Winter’s Walk with the Birds and the Grinch
The rain finally stopped on this first day of winter, so I took a walk at Coulon Park. I saw flocks of American Coots swimming Canadian Geese flying and a Bald Eagle watching, 100 feet up. On the ground things were festive, even though… Continue Reading “A Winter’s Walk with the Birds and the Grinch”

My Anna’s Beauties in Red and Green
Perhaps fuchsia and green is a more accurate description, but since my feature photo includes red, I’m sticking with the theme! Since I added a new feeder to the front maple tree, I’ve been enthralled by my visitors all day long, watching them through… Continue Reading “My Anna’s Beauties in Red and Green”
