Gotter Done

Well the sweet pea fence is done and up.  After nailing the twigs to the poles I found a nice one with limber branches to weave among the twigs.  I like it and can't wait until it is covered with sweet peas. 

I just read where roosters are the latest popular garden ornament.  A friend received these for Christmas and did not like them and shoved them my way.  I of course said, "Sure I'll take them."  I think they are pretty cute in my garden. 


The ruby-crowned kinglet is back.  I heard it for the first time yesterday.  It tells me I have "Chubby, chubby chubby cheeks."  The mallard duck couple are back too.  I frightened them from the pond when I went to the garden Easter Sunday.  Every time I see them I think of the time my daughter and her friend stole two duck eggs and tried to hatch them under their pillows.  Of course it didn't work and they felt pretty bad.  They didn't tell anyone until they were grown and the secret came out.  I love hearing and seeing all the birds return in the spring. They bring a big smile to my face.

  1. Your fence looks wonderful! The rustic beauty fits the surroundings. I didn't know roosters were in vogue in the garden, but it seems everyone is raising chickens these days. The same birds that have been all winter are still here, except for the robins, but they came back very early in February!

    Have a good evening!
