Garden Update

Day One

Week Four

It’s been about a month and the garden is coming along. The tomatoes and peppers survived the mid-May cold snap, and the organic stink bomb spray is keeping the bunnies and the deer away. I’ve added cilantro and another basil plant, and I’m starting to see tiny yellow flowers on the tomato plants.

Another new addition to the garden is the bird feeder. The cats absolutely LOVE sitting in the window and watching the cardinals, goldfinches and other songbirds eating the seeds and berries. It’s pleasant to relax in the garden with a glass of wine or a camera after work.

Stay tuned for more garden updates.

It's Bird Watching Season!

My two cats, Chico and Maya, just LOVE this time of year. In addition to the birdie entertainment in the "mystery tree" in the front of my house, there is all kinds of avian activity in the willow tree behind the house and in the forsythia hedge along side.

The kitties like to sit in the open (screened!) window and talk to the birds. This morning's show included what looked like some alpha male courting rituals with 2 male robins and a female in the willow tree.

The birds twittered and sang and the cats meowed and purred... nature's music with perfect pitch!
