Toward land-sharing week 5: Feb 21 – Feb 27

Posted on February 28, 2022

Another bad weather week.  We had ice storm!  Everything in the yard was frozen.

However, good news, I observed two new species of birds here. Red-Wings Blackbirds and Common Grackles.  🙂  Of course, with the suet cake, the pair of Red Bellied Woodpeckers are here everyday for some easy quick meal.

they were “sharing” their meals. 🙂  The one with color on its wing, that’s the Red-Winged Blackbird.  The other twos are Common Grackles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, the Common Grackles came in a pack!

I also found a Woolly Worm.  🙂

Well, despite this bitter cold winter, Spring is around the corner!

Look what I found today!

YES~~~~~~ Stella D’oro Daylily

I was worried that the ice storm would kill them off.  No!  They are growing~~~~~

What I need to do is this Fall, I need to dig them up and split them.  So I can place them over the yard 🙂

Spring is sure coming ……. soon…..

Well, this week, with the bitter cold weather, I did do more planning on the garden and my practical framework that will be the “guideline” of this wildlife-inclusive garden.

I need to draw it out.  But every element is about settled down.  Thus, the rest is gathering them together and implementing this 🙂

Well, hopefully this coming week, the weather will start to turn nicer and warmer.  I cannot wait to go out and start replanting and do some much need gardening to welcome all the wildlife back in the place.

I wonder how are Ms. Groundhog doing.  Will she have three babies like last year?  One of the babies went so far away from her that I was able to see him/her up close and personal.  I did not touch the baby.  But he/she was so cute. 🙂  Sadly, I did  not have my phone with me to take a picture. 🙁

Hopefully this year, I can see more babies. And I sure to get my phone with me whenever I am out there in the yard.
