Garden is Ready to Grow!

Finally I planted our front garden.  Hubby downsized it some this year because the other side usually is so shady that not a lot grows and it usually grows up in weeds.  I am getting ready to gather sticks and make a stick fence around the garden.  A storm came through last evening and blew down the birdhouse.  Now I have to repair it before I put it back up.

Sweet Aroma Fills the Air

Spring has been a little later arriving this year, but the last week temps have warmed up and the nature has transformed into a flowering wonderland.  I think this is my favorite time of the year.  I love it also when the birds return.  Our backyard has been a sanctuary of bright orange Orioles, yellow Finches, hummingbirds and cardinals.  This is a picture of our lilac bush this year.  It seems to have more lilacs than normal.  I love to smell the sweet fragrance of the air.  

We Have Mushrooms!

Yummy!  I picked 70 mushrooms from our backyard this year.  This is what we had for supper a few nights ago.  All I do is dip them in milk and roll them in flour and fry them.  Delicious!!!
