Look how lush the garden is looking.
Birds are nesting about the yard. In trees, houses and bushes.
I’d love to have some chickens. But for now, these are the ones cluck-clucking about my yard.
My gardens are where I most like to be. With my pets right along with me.
And the birds busily singing up in the trees.
It is my refuge.
I’m linking up to Cottage Flora Thursdays at Fishtail Cottage.
Beautiful! I can’t see too many pictures of your sweet bluebirds.
I love your outdoor space! And now is the time to really enjoy it! Your sewing room is wonderful, too! ♥
I adore this, Brenda. Your photographs are always lovely, and I enjoy seeing the life in your garden, both birds and plants and four footed friends.
XO,
Sheila
It’s so beautiful. I can hear the birds singing. You are such a gifted photographer Brenda. I always feel like I’m standing right there.

Brenda ~ your garden is just lovely ~ I would love to sit with you and listen to the birds and have a cup of tea
Beautiful Brenda. We have no blooms, can’t plant for at least another month till the frost danger is over.
Your garden is SO beautiful, Brenda, lush and colorful…I would spend a lot of time there, too! Gorgeous photos!
Wish I was there, relaxing with a an iced tea and listening to the birds and waterfall. xo,
What can I say? I agree with everyone of the commenters before me.
ooh….your garden is so pretty!!! Everything looks so pretty and lush:)
Do you ever have a talent for making things look absolutely gorgeous!!! Love your garden, the birds, flowers, the chair!!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, gorgeous photos! Since my little bluebirds have been kicked out of the neighborhood by trespassers in their house, I am particularly loving your bluebird photos. Keep ‘em coming!

All I can say is WOW! I’m sitting here looking at your photos and I keep showing them to my husband.(He says WOW too.)
I’m just saying I feel like I just discovered something Really Good. I added you to my blog roll. Cannot wait to see future posts!

Your garden (and critters) are so gorgeous. I just do not have a green thumb but I’m sure gonna try this year! I wish we weren’t in entirely different climates/zones so I could confidently plant all the same flowers that you do!
Hugs,

Your garden looks lovely.
Very pretty, it does indeed look lush and beautiful. Your bird friends are certainly enjoying it too.
Your garden and your home is sure lovely…so cozy and welcoming…I love when you show us all the sweetness. Hugs. oxxo
Your pics are great Brenda! Everything looks so lush and green. Really lovely.

I say – do the chickens- . They are so much fun and very little expense once you’ve got the coop. I am amazed at how pet-like and friendly they actually are!
My chicks come in just a few days!
Everything and I do mean everything is so pretty and healthy looking. Love your garden art!
I never tire of looking at your garden. It is so peaceful. I love all the bright punches of color with your accessories. Even the birds are colorful.
Right before leaving home for work, I went out my back patio, and stared at it thinking what a waste of time it was to go to work, and be inside an office for 9 hours, while one could be outside, enjoying the pretty nature, and blooming flowers, as well as birds, butterflies and bees. We are in summer here in Guatemala, and it is gorgeous outside. Oh well…the luck!
( At least it is pretty for my mom and my baby niece, and my two dogs to be in! 
)
have a great day!
Your flora looks wonderful! I’ve really been loving your bird pictures! Amazing!
Brenda everything is filling out so nicely there. Love the first photo showing one of your corner garden beds. Love the garden art. Hope you’re having a good day.
Your refuge is gorgeous and so are your images. ♥O
I LOVE your garden around the tree. I have two trees that I’ve planted flowers around in my high desert area. It’s coming along, but I’m so ready to have huge gorgeous plants and flowers. They just haven’t reached that point yet.
Oh my goodness! I can’t get enough of your bluebird photo!!! All your pictures are gorgeous, but that one makes my heart skip a beat (we don’t have blue birds here in Washington State)! Thanks so much for linking up to Cottage Flora Thursday’s today….really enjoyed your post! xoxo, tracie
Brenda, I’m amazed at how green and full of life your garden already is! Love all these close-ups of the flowers and birds. Thank goodness spring is finally here!
Take care,
Erin
Your bird photos are exquisite especially the one of the bluebird with his little head tilted.~~Dee
