In the Garden

We made it into the club and are so excited...of course, we may need to get a new mom, since she left her camera at home, and is having to use old pictures today. She did go out over the weekend though and photograph our garden, but those pictures will have to wait until next week...she is such a slacker!

We have a finch that always builds a nest in our ferns hanging on the front porch. This nest is last years, but this year, she laid 4 eggs. Only three hatched though...
The hybiscus, before it died over the winter. Mom has a new one now and it is the same color...The birds love to sit in it, as it is right under their feeders.
Gerber daisy's are always so pretty...they are Auntie's favorites. We love how they come back every year, which means less money spent on flowers and more left over for toys!

We aren't being allowed out at the moment. The spring/summer allergens are here and so Smokey can't be around them. Also Auntie read about an increase in a disease carried by ticks, and how this year is supposed to be a bad tick year in our area, so we don't want to risk getting sick. We are ok with that...being in the cool air is just fine :)

  4. Your garden is lovely. I love having baby finches around, but I haven't spotted the nest this year, if they built one in my yard. Herman thanks you for coming to his party. THoE stands for Thundering Herd of Elephants, which is what happens when kitties run around at top speed, thudding their feet on the floor.

  6. Me and Charlie love your new blog heading/headline!

    Congratulations with being part of this very grand Society of Feline Gardeners. From the evidence of the pics, your mum has a flair for gardening and keeping the wildlife happy! The bird's nest is fantastic and the flowers are fab.

    Oh it's best to stay in away from those horrible ticks!!

    Take care

  12. We're not gardners (heh - Mom, YOU'RE no gardner, is more like it!) But you have pretty pictures of the flowers out there. Make sure you get some advantix (that protects against yucky ticks, doesn't it!) before you go out there!

  13. Welcome to the club! Dante belongs to it, too. What lovely flowers -- I have never seen a pink daisy before -- love it! And aren't you lucky to have a birdie who comes back to nest every year.

    Devon is on the LOLSpot today. Most people so far thinks he's pretty funny.
