For the first time I was able to get a decent shot of this gorgeous duck, so beautiful!
The eerie calls of Common Loons echo across clear lakes of the northern wilderness. Summer adults are regally patterned in black and white. In winter, they are plain gray above and white below, and you’ll find them close to shore on most seacoasts and a good many inland reservoirs and lakes. Common Loons are powerful, agile divers that catch small fish in fast underwater chases.
Star of Bethlehem- Ornithogalum umbellatum is a total garden thug in my yard. Popping up in the flower beds and the lawn. I have no idea how they spread so quickly. Since they come up in the flower beds, they are hard to remove without disturbing the plants I want. These are trying to take over a stand of Coreopsis by our front walk.
Yes, they are pretty but so invasive! They were here when we moved in and in 11 years I have not been able to get rid of them!

This wonderful Hellebore starts out pure white and ages to these wonderful colors. This one was a gift from a friend years ago. It starts blooming in December and continues through spring. What a delight!
Finally it seems there will be no more snow or cold weather! Our winter had a warm spell followed by unusually cold weather and many of my plants have suffered. I lost my lovely Rising Sun Redbud and it seems all of my lavender has died. Add to it all that the deer ate and it's sad but there's still a lot of beauty.
Coming into bloom now! I have 2 of these trees and this one is loaded with flowers. I'll get a picture of the tree when they fully open.
I got this little tree from a neighbor when she discovered several volunteers in her yard. I have it in a pot up on the deck so the deer can't eat it while it's still small. I have no idea which cultivar it is though there are several potential candidates. I love the red edges on the green leaves and the deep red stems.
All our other Japanese maples are red varieties so this really will stand out!
I lifted, divided and replanted all my Iris two years ago. Seems I lost some that I loved and I thought this little yellow was among them, but to my surprise it came back this year!!
More rain and thunderstorms today...hope for more sun soon!!
Do view large!
That's what these Columbine reminds me of. This variety was in the yard when we bought the house. It gets to be almost 3' tall and is lovely!
is going on when our president insults our neighbor and closest ally??? Not to mention all our other allies. I try to stay away from politics here but I am appalled and ashamed by what's happening.
I hope all my Canadian friends know that the majority of us do not share the opinions of the orange menace.
Looks like the Bluebirds and Chickadees are once again fighting over one of my nest boxes. The Bluebird nests are always pine needles and the Chickadee nests have moss and soft grass. I have seen the male Bluebird hanging around the box so will watch more closely to see who prevails. One year the Chickadees actually tossed all the Bluebird eggs out on the ground and pecked them open! Even with two boxes available, they still fight over one or the other!
So at last there was an egg in the nest. The female will lay one per day until all are laid and then sit the nest. I can't wait to have more Bluebirds in the yard!!

White Iris in my garden. I don't know what variety this is- it was a hand-me-down from my mother's garden.
