SURPRISED BY A WELCOME VISITOR

Hope you all have been having a wonderful spring! I am participating in Outdoor Wednesday over at A Southern Daydream. Be sure and check out all the wonderful posts. Just wanted to share who has been stopping in at my backyard feeder!! He is a very welcome handsome visitor....very shy and elusive. Painted Buntings will be gone in a instant if startled. I have been keeping an eye out for the female, but have yet to see her. Maybe she is nesting and there will be little painted buntings!

I think he is one of the prettiest birds I have ever seen. The female is also unusually pretty...being a pale lime green.

Wishing you a wonderful spring and summer filled with surprises also! Please leave a comment as I would love to hear from you.

SPRING FLOWERS.....

No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth.....life just got busy and some things just had to wait. I am back and plan on posting regularly....I missed you.

I love springtime when everything comes alive again. I wanted to share with you pictures I took the other day at a home my garden club toured. I thought it was unusual to mix the pink tulips in with the red and yellow....but just look at the impact! Beautiful.....and all the purple and yellow violas along the border just make everything pop! I love it, how about you?

Love to hear from you, be sure and leave me a comment!
