Spring Flowers, Feeding the Birds and Small Front Yard Ideas

I I have developed a love for feeding and watching birds.  I do not mind if a squirrel sneaks in and gobbles up some of the sunflower seeds because as I see it they need to eat too.

I used to wonder what older people were thinking as they sat on their porches and sipped their beverage of choice.  I could never imagine that sitting outdoors with no TV or music in the background could be anything but lonely! Fast forward and here I am age 58.  I love a little peace and quiet.  I love to dump all the stressful thoughts out my head and sit quietly outside. It is not as lonely as I once imagined.  I find God in nature. I find it easier to talk to him about things.

     Spring Flowers

I get so excited when I see the Tulips and Daffodils getting ready to bloom.

My grandmother and my mom could make anything grow.  They both love to nurture.  I would like to think I get my love for planting from them. Mom likes to supervise as I plant flowers or vegetables. She sits on the porch and yells down to me in the yard “not too much manure!” or “did you sprinkle the fertilize?”   My dad had the best tomatoes I had ever tasted.  Bright red and juicy.  One slice took up the entire slice of bread.  There is nothing quite like a tomato sandwich. My husband (Mitch)  has taken over tomatoes for my daddy now that he is gone. I have to say Mitch gets better and better each year.

Tomatoes

We live in Asheville, NC and wait until the very last of April or first of May to begin planting our tomatoes. It is something my mom looks forward to. I do not know anyone who loves fresh tomatoes more than her. To be honest seeing tomatoes starting to bloom make me think of my dear daddy.

Spring Decor

I love to see Spring flowers and Spring Decor. It announces that winter is finally over.

I just received the above bird feeder and I love it.
