A New Fascination

I have decided I enjoy watching birds. Every day I stand by my kitchen window and hope to see a new kind of bird at my feeders. Today I saw an indigo bunting which I have never seen here before. Last year I had rose-breasted grosbeaks and I hope they return this year. They are so beautiful. Orioles are abundant again this spring also. Their song is lovely. I enjoy just listening to all the birds when I am outside. I do believe my hammock will get quite a bit of use this summer.

Such Excitement!

Okay, so I am totally pumped that I have sweet corn up in my garden right now. I can taste the succulent kernels already. Smother them in butter and salt... (drooling)...

I am hoping everything I planted grows well in the cattle yard. Should have plenty of fertilizer. I will make sure to wash everything REALLY well before we eat it.

I spent the afternoon raking and spreading grass seed around our fire pit. I hope the effort pays off. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so I am counting on that to get it going. Fingers crossed!
