A Dreary Wednesday

 It's going to be  cloudy and cool day. High's in the 60's! We never got the rain that was forecasted. It was all around us but not at our home!!! Usually if we leave the irrigation system on when it is supposed to rain we will get some, but not this time!

To brighten things up a bit here are  few pictures of our little oasis on a more sunny day. We do enjoy our yard. So do the birds and critters!

If you look at the top and to the left you will see a hanging bird house for wrens. We get wrens in it every year. This year the Bewick's have taken up residency. It's fun watching them go in to feed their young.




The Black Chin Hummingbirds as well as some Ruby throats have been enjoying the feeders


Pine Siskins were here for a while but I think most have left

And we get 
Downy Woodpeckers in occasionally.





We have planted Cosmos seeds in several spots in the front that get lots of sun. Hopefully they will grow and give some color to the front as well as hide the plants that are having to start over.  Not replanting anything until we see what it looks like later this Fall. Besides the local nurseries were hit hard as well with the cold this past February and we try to stick to native plants if at all possible. 

Now it's time to get busy. Until next time, stay busy and enjoy your day!
