You have such...Everything is looking lovely, Mary. You have such a variety of trees and plants, no wonder you have all these species of birds. I'd be thrilled with getting more butterflies with my new perennials! I never had much time at this house when we worked so hard at the lake. I'm seeing wonderful results!<br /><br />I find that my time in the sun, even shade, zaps my energy. Sitting in the shade really doesn't reflect all of the sun away. And the heat drains me. I come inside for refuge quite a bit. My dogs are also happy for a respite even thought they are so eager to get out at first. Don't feel it's you...gardening is not for the faint of heart! It's heavy and draining work.<br /><br />Happy spring! Are you and Bob available in July? Abby and Tom may join us in Asheville. If you aren't full of plans that month, maybe we could meet up. Either in A or halfway between?<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-6916981678407147822016-04-17T15:12:03.333-04:002016-04-17T15:12:03.333-04:00Your garden is beautiful - and so green.

I would love to see the Nuthatch babies; we have the occasional nuthatch to visit our feeders, but not nearly as often as I would like.

Oh, hmmm... it's all great! <br /><br />Anyway, wow, that Japanese Maple will keep you bust pruning. It loves it there! <br /><br />"Variegated Solomon's Seal"--I don't think I've heard of that plant before, but yes, it is so refined with its grooves, etc. Lovely plants all round.
