Beetles and the dry weather and things start to look not so nice. i guess we should just be happy to have beautiful things now and deal with trying to keep things going the rest of the summer. We've had quite a bit of rain and new plantings are taking off. <br />Hope you have a pleasant day and weekend....BBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823703470631008618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-79974326112663773232014-06-12T06:59:43.567-07:002014-06-12T06:59:43.567-07:00We did.

Their young come back too. Our big blue spruce...Blue...is full of nests from different birds. We once thought that we would have to have the tree removed...and I thought of all the birds who nest there would really miss it. It's a waiting area for other birds to get to our feeders. A very important tree in our yard. Lucky you...having a hummingbird nest.<br />Have a wonderful day today....BBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823703470631008618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-91118256946819587182014-06-12T06:55:57.092-07:002014-06-12T06:55:57.092-07:00I just wrote what was happening as it happened ye...I just wrote what was happening as it happened yesterday.

I always forget this and mention a bird singing....feel badly that he can't hear it. <br />Our feeders are placed above mulch. That way it doesn't make such a mess. I only feed sunflower seeds and hummingbird juice. The sunflowers are easy to pull out of the mulch. I was worried that the smaller birds wouldn't be able to handle the bigger seed, but they have sharp beaks and can handle it quite nicely. I have found that you don't need Niger Thistle Seed to attract all kinds of finches. <br />I was thinking about your patio situation and if you only feed in the morning....they will clean up a little better after themselves. Sparrows will clean up the seed on the ground.<br />Have a great day.....BBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823703470631008618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-88617452441898429802014-06-12T06:48:15.218-07:002014-06-12T06:48:15.218-07:00My day was perfect, but I know that you are recupe...My day was perfect, but I know that you are recuperating from your surgery and maybe things aren't so perfect for you right now.

I have always wondered if the doves and robins that build in the tree each year are some of the ones (or descendants) of the same family of birds each year. Usually the doves nest on one side of the tree and the robins nest on the other side of the tree, and last year I believe there was a hummingbird nest higher up in the tree. susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-68030141609565709932014-06-11T19:35:46.586-07:002014-06-11T19:35:46.586-07:00You are describing an ideal day.You are describing an ideal day.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-70904579785661528342014-06-11T17:16:11.331-07:002014-06-11T17:16:11.331-07:00You have a way of making each and every day wonder...You have a way of making each and every day wonderful. I really strive for that and hope I get better. of course the weather was the same. I can't always hear the birds because of my deafness, but I see the mess on the patio! I don't know much about this so I bought a variety of seed from Home Depot that would appeal to most birds...and I am getting all kinds. They go through it all by 4:00 p.m. Should I refill it or wait til nightfall so they get in the habit of coming in the morning? Just unsure. <br /><br />Yes, the rain is making everything grow, grow grow!~love it! :)<br /><br />XO,<br />Jane Blondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-30436910013116650412014-06-11T15:33:33.646-07:002014-06-11T15:33:33.646-07:00I'm glad you had such a nice day, Balisha!I'm glad you had such a nice day, Balisha!Margie's Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206751037182686016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-43456289654385564342014-06-11T15:16:31.760-07:002014-06-11T15:16:31.760-07:00Such pretty flowers!
