Close encounter today. Male indigo bunting. He landed on the deck and somehow got both of his feet stuck down in between the deck planks. Unhurt and flew away after the pic.

Poor little guy! Their color is amazing! I usually see one or two each summer, but they don’t hang around for long. Great rescue job!

I ‘saved’ a Yellow Warbler last week. He was tangled up in some string in the garden, and was flopping around and making a racket. At first I thought he was a Mama Bird warming me off a nest or something. I grabbed my scissors and cut him free. I hope he was OK, as he still had some string hanging off of him. :(

Up EARLY today - PUPPY! I’m going to hit the garden early before it gets hot again - and we might have some thunderstorms by the afternoon. Tomorrow I am home, and it looks to be a PERFECT planting day - 72 and sunny!

What is this? San Diego? ;)

Beau finally got the gate replaced and a few pieces of fencing fixed so the hunting dogs can go out into their exercise yard after 2 days of being cooped up. There will be a LOT of ‘wiggles’ to get out, today. The steer was enjoying his new ‘pasture’ while Beau worked on the fencing. My dear friend, Judy, who raised all of her own dairy cow stock from her first Heifer in 1961 says, ‘Cows are just like people; they’re always poking their noses in where they don’t belong!’

Pictures later of what I bought yesterday at Cushman’s Greenhouse. This week’s Grocery Money well spent, I think, LOL!
