Our yard is geared towards the Spring and is currently about to display it's bounty in terms of amount of blooms. With the early bulbs just "going by" and the next wave of bulbs starting to open, the lilacs (all six varieties and colors) are in their full beauty. The irises will be next and are followed by the roses. These last three major groups are in profusion in our yard and make this little plot look like quite the pastel patchwork during the month of May. The sights and scents send me.
I walked around the yard today before the rain and planted annuals in the pots by the door, vegetables in the back (cucumbers and broccoli) and seeds next to them (carrots and beans) and then just looked at the double-petalled lilac in the next bed and our little Buddha in a nearby plot and just smiled as he is smiling.
An update: The bushtits are "on the nest". I'm of the opinion that the eggs must have been laid sometime last week and that mom has been sitting on them for a few days now. The hatching time is rather short - 1-2 weeks. So, I will have to keep you posted.
