May Garden Notes................


The kitchen window box planted a couple of weeks back is starting to fill in - I love to look out the window and see the colors of the flowers.


Along the back fence there are roses......


.......heavily perfumed jasmine.......

............and sweet smelling honeysuckle.


The House Finches have hatched in the jasmine climbing the front porch - three perhaps four, I can't tell at present.


..............and this is that mother - Mrs. Finch and her shadow, flitting back and forth feeding and caring for her little ones.


The garden in early May is delightful.

  4. Your garden is way ahead of ours in England...I guess you have much warmer weather. We are still at the primrose and Camellia stage...but I so look forward to scented Jasmine and roses.

  9. You have a beautiful place for birds or people to enjoy. The picture of the baby birds is cute. Recently, I had been watching the development of five little ones in a nest on my porch. I was very disappointed one day to find them gone without a trace. They were too young to fly away so some creature took them. I like the colorful birdhouses on the wall. Very nice post!--------- Shannon
