Garden Bling

The other morning, as the sun was coming up over the house, I went out to the flower garden to capture some morning dew.

I found this spider's home in the grass.









And some sun flowers that had finally come out to show their faces.

Humming Bird

The other morning, My Husband was looking out the back, sliding-glass-deck door and saw a hummingbird in the flower garden. I had to take a closer look, so went out onto the deck.

The hummingbird flitted over to another side-area garden and did his/her flitty flying into the flowers there. It then LANDED ON THE CLOSE LINE and sat there looking at us on the deck. Then, IT FLEW UP TO THE DECK RAILING AND FLITTI-ED WITHIN A FOOT OF OUR FACES! It was looking at us looking at it!

This is nothing a camera could capture (otherwise I would post the photo on this blog entry) especially since the camera was inside and we were outside. This is one of those photos that will have to be captured in our memory. I'll be old(er) and remark "remember the hummingbird on the closeline" and it will cause a smile.

Very nice day for gardening . . .

Today, my spinaches went to the garden. And, while I was dirty, we planted some seeds in little pots.



Parsley,
cilantro,
a sweet pepper,
some cucs
and some basil.

I tried to buy broccolli at the garden store but the woman said the register was broken, so no broccolli.

Getting Started in the Garden

My Husband made a comment about my weeding the garden--getting started on the weeding. It has been a bit chilly and windy this week, so I did not venture out for this opportunity. But, I did get to MFGC (My Favorite Garden Center) and bought some spinaches.

The two with the littler leaves are a petite spinach that I have planted for the past two years--tasty. The other with the bigger leaves are CLIMBING spinach that are supposed to produce until mid-June.

This is the beginning of a slippery slope . . .
