February consisted of more bird watching then gardening....though I would wander through the garden, checking to see if anything new was popping up or blooming.
Cardinal...either a female or immature male. So very striking!
Then we add a little blue to the picture.....Blue Jay that is.
Then a dash of Cedar Waxwing and a sprinkle of Chickadee and Starling
 |
| And cute as a bug....or tufted titmouse. Who names these guys? |
|
Now to tie it all together....a downy woodpecker and a red-bellied woodpecker.
The bloomers for the month were the flowering quince and the daffodils (and pansies, but no pictures)
And then happiness abounds when I find my first spring blooms arriving.....
And then along comes March
 |
| First year we get to celebrate Eve's necklace blooms |
 |
| Thanks to a friend....we have some gorgeous irises |
 |
| And I love, love, love our red yucca |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Snowberry clearwinged hummingbird moth on the now blooming scabiosa |
|
|
|
|
And to top off the end of the month......our very first bee swarm.........
April comes with all it's glory.....and wind.....and flowers.....and pollinators!
 |
| Cloudless Sulfur |
 |
| Common Buckeye |
 |
| Queen |
 |
| Red Admiral |
|
 |
| The Smoke Tree is in it's puff of glory! |
|
|
|
From February.............
To March..........
Into April.........
Just wait till you see what's happening in May! Coming soon!
