Look what landed in my neighbors yard

Meet Ed,  the neighborhood Egret..  I believe he lost his mate a few years ago...The first time I saw him he was landing in my neighbors yard and came down like a helicopter.
  They use to walk the neighborhood together, but now he is alone..  I have not seen him since last summer,  and I am so happy he has come back for a visit.


A few days ago I walked out my back door and there he was in my neighbors yard once again..
I think he likes it there. 




    I walked very quietly  to get as close as I could. He did not seem to mind the company.



                          This is about as close as I could get..  I think he grew tired of me..



As you can see he walked away... Can you see him under the tree? Right next to the trunk.

Well, that's it for now...  I am spending as much time out in the garden as possible before the real heat hits.
I hope you are all enjoying the spring weather, and thank you for always taking time to wander over for a visit.. Your kind comments are always a treat.
blessings,
Penny

Roses in Spring

View out my front window to the porch.


They are not in full bloom yet, but should be very soon

My Winchester Cathedral Climbing Rose...
Almost to the top.



See the cement porch?   If I can muster up the energy this summer I would like to paint stonework.
Dream on Penny.


This is my favorite rose...  The scent is heavenly.
An English rose, named
 Ingenious Mr. Fairchild. 
 There is a close up photo of this rose on my sidebar.
 
 
 
That's it for now... I will take more photos when they are in full bloom.  
Over my flu bug,  did a little spring cleaning, spending time with my roses.
 
Here's one for you.. . I planted a dozen Blue star creepers around my new little flowering Cherry tree.
I open the front door a few days ago, and a little rabbit was sitting in the middle of the new plants I had put in... He had PULLED them out and tossed them all over... I said.... Would you kindly find something else to do?
Ok,  so I plugged them back in...  This morning,  there he was AGAIN...  Pulled them out for the second time, and was just sitting there looking at me... I walked outside,  and he took off!  I just happened to look over at the planter with my stocks, and what did I find?  A bun bun sitting right smack in the middle of them.
You just have to laugh...
 
Wishing you all a beautiful week.
Thank you so much for visiting.
Penny
 
p.s. 
I made dear  Méa   a Garden Party wreath from my garden.
Tea anyone?
