May Day gift

A pretty bird in the Dogwood.




Thundershowers are moving in. Tornado watch is in effect.
I have lavender to plant.
It has been a beautiful May Day.

Helloo from Alaska! My name is Vikki; and am originally from the southwest. The winters here can last from six to nine months here; but seemingly LONGER. I just want to say that your beautiful photos have truly salvaged my sanity, and gave me hope for spring. Thank you.

Dear Mary,
It's May! It's May! That lusty month of May.

You are doing your part.
Sending orange birds!

Dear Vikki,
Hello! Welcome.
So glad to know the birds and bees here in the Mid-west are giving you hope! Spring will come to you soon.
I am looking forward to visiting you and learning about Alsaka.
I hope you have pictures of the Northern Lights!
Bird songs and butterfly wings,
Sherry

Dear Mari-Nanci,
The sirens did go off for about thirty minutes last night. A few tornadoes were spotted. I had a little bit of wind damage.
The May pole stood just fine and we had 60 mph winds!
May does mean the start of tornado season.
It was dramatic.

Dear Lisa,
I have two Mandevilla vines growing in pots on the deck. The wind torn one of the vines up pretty badly. I am going to try taping it together.
I shall pop over and see how you are doing.
Wicked winds....
During the night I woke to the howling and the thrashing...
Hope you are okay too.
Sherry

Now that Sherry is absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing this delight.

Dear Cheryl,
The Dogwood is in full bloom. I was hoping a few birds would come for photos. I was very happy when this Oriole came in.
Was a gift I wanted to share.
Glad you also enjoyed these pictures.

Dear Mel,
I am lucky they remember to come to my little backyard every year. A nice group are hear now, about 15 Orioles! In the Dogwood was very nice of this female!
