We have found lots of bird nests in the fence line roses. I hope more nest builders come this year.<br /><br />Hello Neal, I sure have been enjoying your bird blog. Thanks for your kind words, as always.<br /><br />I am not afraid of the foxglove, but I used to live near a creek where it took over so I do know it can and while it is declared invasive, I don't think the state is actively going after it ( no funds anyway) but are educating people about it. Often very attractive realities have down sides in many realms....don't they? I should have taken a picture before the last rain we had this weekend...there are blooming foxgloves that were hidden behind and between rose bushes and it was pretty spectacular. As the sun dries it all out...I'll see if it is bedraggled now.<br /><br />Leslie...I saw a video clip taken from the back of horse reputed to be going 7 mph on a trail around Folsom Lake, CA ( Johnny Cash was not involved) that was blue lupin on both sides of the trail. If I can figure out if I could share it...I wanted to get it to you.<br /><br />Welcome Skyline...glad you enjoyed what you saw.<br />Jeannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115410908800997558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181208978190549590.post-9095107196047284682014-04-28T10:59:52.263-07:002014-04-28T10:59:52.263-07:00pretty nice blog, following :)pretty nice blog, following :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181208978190549590.post-42659968871811114432014-04-25T15:21:59.932-07:002014-04-25T15:21:59.932-07:00Even the mushrooms are big and beautiful where you...Even the mushrooms are big and beautiful where you live.

It's a dilemma that plagues all of us, something that is non-native may be beautiful, but does not allow the local flora to grow...should we uproot the non-natives or not? My 91 year old grandfather has a wonderful book with photographs of all kinds of mushrooms, how you can tell which are edible and which may look like they are edible and are not, which I wouldn't even risk. We ♥ eating mushrooms in our home.<br /> Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411789923271959623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181208978190549590.post-82581311147675688542014-04-22T09:08:14.989-07:002014-04-22T09:08:14.989-07:00As always, great words and photos!
