Spring - the color purple

In my garden . . . .

When You Gotta Go ! ! ! !

Sometimes things get busy in the henhouse!

Full Pink Moon

This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month's celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn.

1st Bluebird Egg

When I first saw the bluebirds building their nest, it was in the garden. http://townbees.blogspot.com/2009/03/1st-bluebird-nest-for-2009.html

But they abandoned that nest and moved to the front yard and here's the first egg of the year. They should lay 3-4 - I don't want to bother them to much but I'll keep checking.

Bluebirds are so pretty - "the bluebird of happiness".

I Ate the Whopper!

Yep, I ate the whopper. A double yolk as I thought and an extra large breakfast for me - my thanks to Dumpling.

Bumble Bee, Arizona

A post office was established in February, 1879, taking its name from nearby Bumble Bee Creek, so named because early travelers said that the Indians were as “thick as bumblebees.” Of course, Bumble Bee is a ghost town now.
