June
Right now is arguably the prettiest time of the year in our garden, depending on whom you ask. But it's a bit of a blur as we prepare for our open garden this coming Saturday. Rain is in the forecast yet we carry on, hoping some hardy folk will show up. Really, an open garden is a good target for us to complete many of our annual chores; so it's fine even if no one shows. A deadline looming has incredible power over me for some reason. After Saturday, we slide into summer with a clinky drink in hand as we lounge in our catio with The Furry Ones (our four rather active cats). I promise. There are lots of flowers and so many birds right now. While I try to photograph the critters, they are not as forgiving as a fairly static plant. Perhaps I'll put together a post of some of the better photos soon. We had a pair of white-breasted nuthatches use our nesting box for the first time. It was a thrill watching them bring food in the form of insects to their babies. No more peeping ...
