Flags

I have a collection of little garden flags that I enjoy flying. I change them on a regular basis depending upon the season, holiday or when ever I get tired of one and want another one. I am always on the lookout for holiday's I don't have yet. Anyway, thought I would share this one with you and perhaps in the future when I can't think of anything else to blog about I'll post pictures of some of the others. I presently have a total of 22 garden flags.

Eating Like a Bird

A few more signs of spring... birds eating in the rain. My birdfeeders were busy, busy, busy yesterday so I took the opportunity provided to capture a few photos to share. I just love watching the birds.

Raindrops

You know the saying... April showers bring May flowers... we have had 2 full days of a hard soaking rain. When it stopped for a while today I went out and made a few pictures of raindrops on some of the spring flowers.






Birthday Fountain

My mom and step father gave me some money for my birthday and I bought a fountain. I had been wanting one for a while now and found the perfect one last week. For now it is sitting on our porch but I think it will eventually be moved into a new garden area I have planned. I will post another picture once it is in its final place but for now you can see it here. Thanks Mom and Buddy! I love my new fountain!

I love listening to the gurgling sound of the water running down the side of the fountain
