Grape Hyacinth....

 

After...

 It rained in the night giving us some much needed moisture for our lawns and gardens.  It still is not so warm but it will warm up as we are in April.

Cardinal.....

 A cardinal is busy singing up a lot to declare his territory and also watching for his mate. The sound is wonderful that they make.

Resting.....

 The mourning dove likes to find places to sit. They can sit in one position for many minutes without moving. Here the bird had eaten and just stepped over a bit and landed. It was getting to be evening and it seemed to think it was a great place to rest. I didn't keep track of the time but I am sure it was there over thirty minutes.

One Bloom...

 The pussy willow puts out the spring buds that turns into flowers. The tree looks like a puff ball with all the  open blooms.

Opening to the Sun....

Chipmunk Frenzy....

 He is busy filling his jowls with cracked corn. I know there are other seeds there that he likes but I have never really seen one pick up corn. The chipmunks will have free reign in my backyard as the one who like to hunt them has passed away.
