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!
I’m guessing we’ll be seeing some shrub pictures for your Japanese garden. Nice rescue job yourself. After 36 years here we have rescued many many birds as they hit out sliders and most are just in shock. In the winter you have to bring them in for 15 minutes or so. A drop or 2 of water off your finger to the tip of their beak helps They usually start swallowing and seems to help bring them out of shock. Today I am watering all veggies with the Chicken Soup for the Soil we bought for this year. Will do it 2 gallons at a time from a jug so that will be some work. I hand weeded the asparagus bed yesterday, lots coming up.
