Waiting for snow

If and when it snows, I will dash out the door with a piece of "frozen" black construction paper and "catch" snowflakes. its fun to see how everyone really is different. (put paper in the freezer ahead of time) Have fun. Maybe also run around and try to catch them on your tongue:)

This is November?

We haven't had a hard freeze yet and my Lavender is blooming!

Meditating on Natures beauty

Wow!

Coming home from errands, as I exited hwy 315 at 3pm, I looked up at the overhead light. Sitting there in all its splender was one of our peregrine falcons. What a great surprise.

Breathing space

Be an early bird for a treat. Venus & Mars can be seen close together in the predawn sky from now until about July 4th. www.space.com

"Rise & shine" and do your morning tapping in their company. In the quiet of the day before other interruptions.

They're back!!! Buzz...Buzz..

Twice in the past week, on sunny warm days while out in the garden a big ole bumble bee went whizzing past my ear :) Must be spring! Buzz..buzz..

A little day music

The cicadas are with us once again. Serenading our lazy summer afternoons. We have been finding the empty nymph cases in the yard. So once again they travel from the underworld up to ours for their brief visit in the sun. Singing their song every afternoon. Welcome to summer.

Where or where are my bee friends?

Sitting in the garden I still see very few bees. And not that many of our hornet or wasp friends. Even when the sage was in full bloom I didn't see but 1 or 2 bees. Usually the flowers would attract a dozen at least.  I don't think we are too close to a cell phone tower but, who knows? It's been said that the signals from cell towers disorient bees so they can't find their way back home. The echinacea is starting to bloom and still no bees. Did see a hummingbird the other morning though.

Light up my night

For the past week I have felt something land softly on my arm while in the garden during the day. And enchanting me at night. Lightening bugs! Yeah! It's really summer when I see them light up the night every year. Aren't they fun to watch?
