Saturday's Critters, Camera Critters, and End of the Month View
Wildflowers

Wild Violets are growing near my kitchen door. And if you look closely, you will see a small butterfly on the right side of the photo.
Spring Beauty
Claytonia virginica are appearing all over the lawn...
...and so are the Dandelions!
Flowers
I was afraid that mid-month freezing temperatures would damage the Clematis buds, but they are hardier than I thought!
Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' aka Easter Rose
I recently bought Petunias in hanging baskets to attract Hummingbirds.
Vegetables
My Onions, planted in large tubs, were damaged by the hail on Monday afternoon. But it is just the tops. I am sure the onions, safely below the soil, are fine. (Those wiggly-looking things are buds blown off of Pine trees).
Saturday's Critters and Camera Critters
I am happy to report that my insect control guy, Catch 'Em And Eat 'Em, is on the job!
(That is an old car tire finding a second life as a flower bed).
And birds - let's not forget our fine feathered friends! Our gardens would be much too quiet without birdsongs.
I hope you have a wonderful week-end!

ReplyDeleteLove those flowers! I think I have to be patient a little while longer up north...oh, and you have Purple Finches! Just a little jealous...
ReplyDelete...great signs of spring.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a good looking insect catcher guy!
ReplyDeleteHello, your flowers are pretty. I see the little butterfly. I love the cute lizard and the Purple Finches. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!

Brilliant images Lea.
ReplyDeleteNice set of photos...I love violets...they are all in some of my irises and I just leave them cause I love them. I even think their leaves are pretty.
ReplyDeleteenjoyed this look of Spring
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a Catch 'Em and Eat 'Em with a taste for slugs. Ducks maybe. Now there's a thought!
ReplyDeleteI have plenty of those Catch 'Em and Eat 'Em's at my house. I just wish they would stay outside to do their job, because I certainly don't enjoying having to catch them and throw them back out! Funny how it has its foot on its tail like that.
