I recently discovered a new blog ~ My Wildlife Sanctuary. Cheryl, the auther has some of the most beautiful pictures of her yard. Inspired by her blog, I've decided to introduce you to my backyard (especially since it's nice and tidy from this past weekend!). Enjoy!
Here is the lovely yellow chair I promised to assemble this weekend. Amazingly, I actually did it! It compliments our patio and backyard beautifully and really adds a splash of color to the place. In the background are Vic and Flea frollicking in the freshly cut grass.
It's also perfect for holding a tomato!
We have some lovely sunflowers complements of the birdies who visit our bird feeders. When they come to eat, the birds invariable drop sunflower seeds and a few months later...voila!
And then of course the finches stop by and eat the leaves and the little faces off the sunflowers. I guess we can't really blame them though since the sunflowers were grown by them!
This is the view from our patio into the backyard. We usually have a ton of flowers until about August and then they start to kind've peter out. I really wanted to plant some black-eyed susans this year, but I just don't have the time. Maybe next year.
This little bee house sat emptly for the previous three summers, but this year the bees have finally discovered it! They are in and out all day, every day. I wonder if they are building something inside the cottage??
It was the perfect weekend to get yard stuff done! We had a slight breeze that blew thru our backyard for most of the afternoon, which made the work soo much more pleasant!
