Many years ago I planted forget-me-nots when my father-in-law passed away. Last year I stood in shock as I saw the lawn service for the association spray them and leave weeds alone. They moved so quickly I couldn’t get there fast enough. It was heartbreaking.
I understand I have to watch that they don’t get in the lawn, and I do. But they are an absolute delight in the rock.
Here’s a few that survived.
It is also the season that the pines get their new growth. Such a wonderful sight!
This year we think we have two nests in that particular pine. We’ve watched a robin and a couple house finches fly in with a beak full of nesting material. I leave small twigs and the shamrock die-back, and they take it like crazy. We have a bird bath too and they really enjoy that.
Hopefully we will soon hear the familiar chirping choruses of a nestful of hungry baby birds welcoming their food. Such a wonderful time.
