GardenGrrl's WunderBlog

Hi All, this has turned into two blogs since I read about the HR875 in Skyponys blog.
Haven't seen any hummers yet. I think my goldfinches have migrated north. The finch socks are looking ignored. A wren has been coming around the garden and a tiny nest is being built in the Italian Cypress. Haven't seen who is building it.

Hi Sandi, The sphinx moths sure do look like hummingbirds. They come from those big green horn worms that are fond of defoliating tomato plants.

Hi Prosepina, yes, today is your namesake day!

Hi Jane, Robins are a great start for getting spring going.

Hey Skypony, I'm surprised Florida doesn't have year round hummers like California does.

Hi IC, Wow, your amarillis bloom early. Mine won't happen until May/June.

Baja, You know that really could be us in a few more years if we are blessed with the "happy" dementia at that age.

Hi Emmy, pretty spring fairy picture, thanks.

Hi Gams, well at least the butterflies and other beneficials probably use the humming bird feeders.

Rebel, LOL. I like how you think. Hope you get to see the hawks set up house.

Hi Sp, lucky you to have a year round variety of the little speedy jewels. You may have seen a black chinned hummer. They look dark from the back.

Hi Skyhawk, We should be getting more rain this week . Hooray! I'm betting on hummers by the 1st.

Hi Sig, Will let you know when they show up here. Tell you what, if dental implants are like having a real tooth it will all be worth the hassle and money. This retainer with the fake tooth is not fun at all. So you make sure the do a good job on those implants. All us toothless wonders are counting on you :)

Hi JD, Turkey vultures are only cute if you watch them waddle/run. Then they are a hoot! I think my goldfinches have headed up your way. Let me know. They forgot to bring the thistle socks I put out for them. Will have the hummers carry them up for those forgetful little birds.

Hey Calpoppy, you get orioles too? Those are so cool. Minus the water restriction thing, where you live sounds pretty nice.

Hi Penguin, Oregon is another one of those states that have lots of great outdoor things to do. I'm right with you on forgetting the camera. Now that we bought the little pocket camera thats waterproof/shock proof, I have forgotten it on every outing this month. Doh.

Wow, my weekend just flew by. The toothless spot doesn't hurt anymore which is nice. Weather was awesome and got to play in yard. Went to the Late Night at Dallas Museum. Wish more museums would do late night openings. The place was packed until midnight. Now off to do the long work week and then resume the regular schedule. Life is good and going to work makes me appreciate every second of free time.

Hi Mom, it seems we have elevated phone tag to a high art. Guess I'll catch up with you via blog and e-mail :)

Hi Penguin, most of the newer point and shoot digital cameras can do what those high dollar cameras with fancy lenses can do but without all the skill one needs to use the fancy cameras. The best part is the huge memory cards allow you to shoot hundreds of pictures. Sooner or later you get some really good ones in the bunch. They have also come waaaay down in price for all the features.

Hi Gams, What is it about pineapple and coconut that just mmmm smells like vacation?

Have a great week all :)
