Waiting to Grow






Well, for now I am through so all I can do is wait for the babies to grow. I have petunias in the front--I bought those to give the garden "some" color until the babies behind them grow and bloom. I planted about 1000 seeds of assorted wildflowers on both sides and right now all I have is a bunch of fuzzy babies straining to come up. Along the fence I planted mamouth sunflowers that are suppose to get 10 feet tall--the birds should love these. I have dahlias also coming up. I found a roadside vendor that was selling the bulbs for 50 cents each and normally they are about 9.00 dollars for 3 bulbs here in the store. On each end of the fence, Gary placed a bird feeder which I just noticed Norm the fat ass squirrel knock one of them down--he was hanging on to it this morning. "Cheep" comes out to my garden each evening and waits for mama robin to bring him worms. Cheep is the one that fell out of the nest and he is almost as big as his mama but it looks like his left wing may be jiggered up. His mama keeps taking care of him like a mother that cares for her handicapped child. Every morning and evening our back yard is over run with obese rabbits and we have even had a wild turkey checking out my garden.

Well that is it for now at Lake Wobegon. Take care.
