This morning I saw an Oriole looking for nesting material in the garden. It was pulling on the jute cord strung as a support for the peas and on last year's hops stems still clinging to the fence. I was not able to see where he was headed with the material, but hopefully I will find out tomorrow.
On Sunday morning I put out two hummingbird feeders hoping to entice the birds to stay here for the summer months. Last year I put the feeders out in mid June and had three regular visitors. This evening, while washing dishes and looking out the window, I saw the first hummingbird of the season! Hopefully they will tour the gardens and decide to make their home here again this year.
Welcome to the Enclosed Garden of Susan Ernst. Literal as well as figurative, this blog explores the physical gardens which I cultivate, the spiritual garden within, and the intellectual garden of horticultural knowledge gathered through decades of study, observation and practice. Come and sit with me for a while. Let us together marvel at the delicate, intricate beauty of a flower.
