I bought one for my daughter also a couple of years ago and for the first time, she also had chickadees in hers. Who knew it was perfect for the tiny birds! Though I might have had the chickadees nesting in the birdhouse last year, but I was in the hospital then.
Well, I almost have word count. I want to get it done today.
We had a ball for Easter Sunday. The kids were ready to go home when my grandson (4), saw the egg cartons I had out for them to use in the garden. He asked what they were for. We had a back and forth discussion–you can take them home and plant them. Mom–no, you can do it here. Then the grandkids wanted to do it right then and there. I was worried about their nice Easter clothes. So we got them all covered up, gloves on, dad carried the bag of dirt out for us, each grandchild had an egg carton, I had the seeds and hand shovels.
I had the grandkids fill up egg cartons with dirt that will dissolve in the ground, then add zinnia seeds, and then bury them completely with dirt in their flowerbeds. Then they took their cartoonish watering cans and covered them in water.
After we went inside, my grandson was watching out the back door and asked if the flowers had sprouted yet. lol Love the grandkids. They’re always so cute. But I love that they enjoy planting in the garden too. My granddaughter picked flower seeds that only showed hummingbirds and butterflies on them. If they had bees on them, she said, “Nope.”
Okay, I’m off to get some work done. I’m trimming back my sunshine ligustrum, should have taken a before picture, but doing like my daughter did with hers, making them more tree like. Then she plants underneath them. They are killing my grass off because of the lack of sunlight, and I have moss growing instead. But also, my side yard isn’t that wide, so they’re overtaking it. Luckily, I got all the branches I already cut last night bundled up and out to the trash this morning. But later, I’ll begin working on them again today.
Hope you have a beautiful day!

Hi Terry
The only thing happening is Iris the Osprey returned today. At 33 years of age Iris is still the oldest living Osprey in the world. Her nest resides in Hellgate, Missoula, Montana, 🇺🇸
I am watching right now fixing her nest up.
She is so beautiful. Hopefully her Beau returns. She has lost so many mates.
I still have snow here in my yard. Boy it’s cold today. It was windy all night, whistling in my open window.
I love chickadees, but I do not have any around here.

That is so neat!!! And amazing.
I wish I could get a better picture of them, but I don’t want to disturb them. It’s cold for us, but I think it will be warmer today later.
