Thank you, Denise. My peonies and columbine all bloomed really long this season and it was just delightful.

I love the bluebird. I rarely see one where I am. Also, those Sweet Williams are splendid, oh so pretty.

Thank you! I agree, they love the full sun and I have two bushes that need moving as the tree near them has grown so much it turned the garden into a shady one. I think I will do that soon and share it

The first one is a hybrid line that has been around for a few years. It is different, but I do like the shade of purple. I hope you are feeling better.

Happy Sunday to you Joan, I made that saying up for the post. I was trying to be funny, lol! He literally comes to see me every day for peanuts so I look at him as one of my totems.

Oh dear, I do hope you are feeling better soon. You have certainly been having a rough time lately and I feel bad for you. Also, sure hope you figure out the computer soon as I like seeing your progress

Thank you so much, @farm-mom

You certainly do get some beautiful sunsets, Mike. That is also a nice bed of ferns which are always a favorite of mine.

Looks like you won't be using the canoe anytime soon. They are adorable.

He is stunning! We rarely see them here at my feeders. You are very fortunate to get to enjoy them.

Your plants look so good and they will really like being outside now. I have some type of onion that came back from last year and I can't for the life of me remember what they were. lol They are tall and

Thank you so much! It is a beauty and oh so bright. Everyone that sees it falls in love. I imagine you are extremely busy with the homestead. You make me tired just reading your posts, :-)

That is good in a way, at least they are watching out for each other. Have a wonderful day.

You have a lot of turtles which is so awesome. I love the shot through the reeds and of course who would not love the duck butt!

Thank you @nelinoeva they do seem to feed them for a very long time, don't they?
