Feathered musings

Posted:

Yesterday a pair of chickadees were on one of my feeders. I don’t think I’ve ever seen chickadees in Florida, and definitely not at this house. They made me smile.

There is no better morning music than that of birdsong.

    I’ve got a few new garden pics to post. I’m very excited that my first echinachea plant, aka coneflower, is going gangbusters this year. It’s fun to see it keep getting taller and to see the beautiful head forming, which will eventually sprout the tell-tale purple petals. I doubt that I’ll ever harvest this plant;…

    Wow, who’da thunk that playing around in the NaNo forums would inspire me? While whining about my main character not doing anything interesting, I thought up of a way to force the bitch to do something fun. Bwahaha, she now must prove her title as Warrior of the Red Dragon!
