End of June.........................

Today in the garden we had a family of Chickadees. They had to have left the nest a few days to a week ago. They can fly but they hang around in a little gang and the parents feed them. They were getting lessons on the use of the bird feeders today. Cute little buggers.

This is how it's done says mum

They were out the front for a time in the Pine trees.

She took a moment for herself and had a bath.

Meanwhile out back the kids were chirping in the trees hoping for another morsel.


It was a matter of dodging them as they flew hither and yon, not being particularly careful. One year I got hit by one and it landed on my shoulder. Wonderful experience.
A few of the day lillies are blooming. I will do another flowery post later.
