A Day in the Backyard

I was able to take today off for the most part and work some from home. The majority of the day I was outback. The various chores were truly a labor of love. 

Daylilies have scapes and some have buds. The Peruvian Buttercups have begun to open. The rain did a great job of watering the earth. The male cardinal waited for me several times to put food out for him. While I was getting some leaf mulch I saw a baby cardinal in the hedge.

Tomorrow more than 20 preschoolers will come for a visit. I have done this for close to 20 years now. It is always fun.
