Regards,
For @katzrul15 Spring flowers
Dutchman Breeches, vincas,
grape hyacinths, hot pink creeping phlox, lavender creeping phlox
Road curve garden has white with purple and purple wood violets.
Just starting to bloom the burgundy and yellow wood violets.
I have a pair of killdeer birds nesting in the back corner of the yard.
I haven't seen a killdeer nest, but the have them on the ground.
When a predator comes close to the nest, they will walk in opposite directions and fake injuries to draw the predator away.
This is a killdeer bird on the right ( has red eyes ) and directly across to the left side are 3 greenish speckled, blotched eggs.
@policequilts How in the world did you catch the killdeer in the picture? They always run away when I try to take pictures of them. Fantastic shot! What side of the house do you have your phlox? I cannot seem to grow it. The only thing blooming in my yard (besides the trees) is my lungwort.
Here is a picture of my lungworts. They line the flower bed on the front of my house on the north side. They really don't care where they are and they spread like crazy. I just dig them up and put them anywhere and they grow! The flowers are either pink or purple, but mine have cross-pollinated and have both colors of flowers. The leaves are variegated, but have a nasty, prickly, hairy feel to them.
There are no flowers 💐 or plants here in the big Apple but this is a pix taken from my window last night with the moon!
Nice the new thread was launched ... I occasionally read but have been busy elsewhere. But, if we are sharing spring pics I just took these quick off the back deck. The first pic is a little misleading, it makes our yard look flat which it isn't ... it is a pretty steep yard in places. Our dogwoods are in bloom which is nice. I started taking the 3 rail fence down since most of the 4 x 4 posts have rotted. We may or may not replace it.
If you are wondering about the groundhog either he or his children are still around ... so we made the executive decision to move the shed UP the yard ... I will do some prep work for its new location which will make it hard for those critters to dig under the shed. In any event, love the other pics everyone shared!
My woodsy glad that got relocated when the garage was added in 2005.
On our trip to nearby city today we saw lawns had been mowed. Here the grass is barely an inch high. Buds on some of the trees. Dogwood, apple trees, and others in bloom 40 miles south, but not here yet. Over 1000 ft difference in elevation.
After the wife's appointment I did a little detour to show her a row of apple trees in bloom. That detour was on the way to the grocery store to get a take-out shrimp dinner to share.
After the shrimp it was off to the "smokes shop". From there to Harbor Freight to get a package of button batteries that have been OOS for a while. Off from there to Wally and then TSC to get some sunflower seeds for the birds, and chips.
