Our Lilacs are in bloom

All the way down the side yard

Daily Visitor

Shy Eastern Blue Bird
Not so shy Downy Woodpecker



Blue Bird from afar




Our new Friend..she hasn't a name yet
but she'll have one soon. She spends alot of time
scratching up seed ..LOL


She comes and eats and goes daily now. I hear them calling in the woods behind us. One day
"Tom" came with her and waited outside the fence , patiently showing his feathers, till she was
finished eating.
Wonder what "the rest of the story" was.
smiles, Deena
