This ...Thanks Mama Pea.....I owe it all to compost!<br />This is the first time I've seen such newly hatched bluebird babies too. I checked the chickadees tonight and they're almost completely covered with feathers now--they sure grow up fast.<br />I saw on our 6 PM weather that you guys were getting the Lake Superior breeze today and only 53 degrees to our 93! I hope you had some sun at least?RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-52101212003495228492009-06-22T13:21:13.555-05:002009-06-22T13:21:13.555-05:00Your flowers and yard are beautiful.

I've never seen such teeny-tiny hatchlings before.<br /><br />Our temp is down to the 70s today but with about 110% humidity. Makes one feel sweaty . . . but cold.

That's a good one too.<br />We're going to be about 10 degrees cooler than you the next couple days -- to me, anything over 85 is too hot. But I don't think it's ever too hot to eat meatloaf! Sounds like a fun festival--will there be mashed potatoes and gravy too? Mmmmmm, I'm drooling just thinking about it!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-79904906990471843382009-06-22T09:21:37.513-05:002009-06-22T09:21:37.513-05:00Hi Ruthie!
Beautiful flowers! Cute baby birds!
I ...Hi Ruthie!<br />Beautiful flowers! Cute baby birds!<br />I got a book on Saturday, used, about attracting birds to your back yard. Its great! There were several things I saw and that I should share that with Ruthie! I'll be in touch soon.<br />Hope you enjoyed your weekend. 100 today, 101 tomorrow. YUCK! I'm hoping it cools down for Saturday. I'm going with two friends to a meatloaf festival. Weird huh? Its being held in a rural town about 30 minutes from here. All outdoors. Probably little shade. Please cool down!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627287902591490601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-23821243142941618422009-06-22T06:17:28.076-05:002009-06-22T06:17:28.076-05:00Hi Jan M,

Our arrival of hot & sunny weather has coincided with the first days of summer, so maybe it will for you in the east too.<br /><br />Thanks Kelly. It's pretty fascinating to see those really little baby birds and watch them grow. I have some baby wrens in another house that I can't open up, but they chirp so loud it makes me wonder how many are in there!<br /><br />Hi Gaelyn,<br />Summer is here for sure -- along with the heat and humidity. <br />I think common mullein is considered a weed here too, but it goes well with the other "weeds" I've cultivated in my backyard specifically for the birds, insects, and wildlife.<br /><br />Thanks Jayne. It will be fun watching the baby birds grow.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-51530098982277950342009-06-22T05:59:12.179-05:002009-06-22T05:59:12.179-05:00Look at all of Ruthie's babies!

Your garden and flowers are superb.<br /><br />The mullen that grows here is considered an invasive.

I have tomato blossoms, but everything else seems at a standstill, probably due to many gloomy days of rain.<br /> My nest box was vacated earlier this week when the family of tree swallows moved on.jan mhttp://emurphey.com/jannoreply@blogger.com
