Yard, Gardens, Birds and Critters

How I Feel By Mary J Williams © I was at the store A donut did I see Went to the case Picked some out for me Thought of what’s for supper What do I need to buy Grabbed a bag of carrots Then gave a great big sigh There were some lovely green beans When can I eat those I will have to clean and snap So, they were what I chose Wanted something different To go with the roast beef Hope that’s okay with hubby And he doesn’t give me grief Home, I went with my groceries Planning ahead is hard Think I will take a walk And take pictures of my yard It’s pretty darn windy out Which makes it pretty cold I have my jacket on My camera I will hold Look at the survivors Flowers still in bloom Temps below freezing Dying was not their doom Inside and cooking Gardening feels like this Flowers and fresh air Snapping green beans is bliss Even watching Starlings And the sparrows too Bathing and splashing the water How can winter make me blue Snapdragons Vinca               ...

 I just wanted to share, with those that aren't on Facebook, what I have been up to. Still taking in the birdseed at night at the house, except when I forget, or not at home until late and hubby forgets to bring it in and I don't think to ask if he did it! By then it's late, I'm tired and really don't care! Well, that's not really true! I care but I am tired, so I don't think to ask if it's in! Ahh, the two way street!   Now, in the last couple of weeks, my neighbor and I have been walking. We have walked on our street, we have walked at one of the parks, we have walked downtown many times. The latest has been at Prairie Garden Trust. This is a place you can just get lost in nature. It's all around you. The owners have turned old fescue fields back into the Prairie Fields they used to be. They had help from Mervin Wallace who runs the Missouri Wildlife Nursery in Brazito, MO.  I sound like an advertisement and that wasn't the purpose of this blog...
