Drinking is for the birds

This weeks Theme is Drink

Anyone that’s been reading this site for a while knows that I enjoy having birds in our backyard garden.

We have three feeders in our tiny yard. We have to fill them up almost daily since there are so many birds eating from the feeders. I think we must be the only people around for blocks that feed the birds the way they go through the seed we put out for them.

In the five years that we’ve been at the house I’ve only seen a humming bird twice. We have two hummingbird feeders, that I clean and fill regularly in the hopes of enticing the tiny creatures to have a drink.

Here’s a photo of our nicest hummingbird feeder:

And here’s another view of the same feeder:

Have a great weekend and Happy St. Patrick’s day. Don’t drink too much now.

This weeks Theme is Soft

Three friends

Aw, aren’t these three the sweetest little things?

I don’t know about you, but there’s something about baby ducks. They just always look so sweet, and soft. I haven’t held a baby duck for a long time but if I remember correctly they’re very soft to the touch.

This weeks Theme is Antique

This rose goes perfectly with this weeks Photo Hunter theme doesn’t it? I mean it’s name is Antique’89 – what could be better?

This is a rose that I wrote about several times last year. It finally grew this past year. I think if I hadn’t battled it and shaped it as I described in a post called “War of the Roses” it would have been 20 feet tall and hanging over patio table making it extremely dangerous to sit at the table. This rose is a monster. It’s thorns are huge and catch on your clothes and skin so easily.

If this rose grows this year like it did last year I think I’m going to have to move it to it’s own area away from the seating area. It’s a wicked rose.
