Since my DH retired it seems we are getting our garden planted later

NASCAR changing the date of the Monster Mile race by moving it back 2
weeks is a real pain. We used to shoot for the end of May to be all
planted and flowered in our beds. Then Sons Birthday, and mine 3 weeks
later and the ensuing celebrations, it's all messed up.
Can't put stuff in too early or it might frost......sometimes it
seems the universe is scheming against our plans!!!!
I guess we just have to do less partying and hosting and get down to
the really important stuff......or IS that the important
stuff???? *:~)

You spent too much time trying to find that Richie, richie,richie bird
and your garden got neglected. ;-).
Seriously, congratulations on getting it all planted. I retired many
years ago and it seems the planting has finished later every year
since then. We won't even get some things planted this year because
our season isn't long enough to make it worthwhile ;-(.

Ross, I've finally decided it must be the common yellowthroat that
stays in the trees. The area behind us is swampy and that is one of
it's habitats. All the others mentioned feed at our feeders, and I
pretty well know their calls. Haven't heard the Richie bird in a
couple of days, maybe he was just passin' thru. We are on a migratory
path, it's so neat to see your whole lawn & woods covered in robins,
flippin' over leaves in the woods. It looks like the woods are
alive!!. Jack Russell terrorista loves to go give 'em hell every now
and then, just 'cause.
