a bear in my yard

 
 What's This!!!!!Can it be a bear in my yard? I woke up early this morning and brewed up some good coffee and moved over to my new favorite spot in the backyard which is the shed. Isn't it great how these wireless internet things work. So i'm looking over my favorite sites and suddenly i look out the window and....well what do you know....There's a bear in my yard....it must be the aroma of fresh brewed coffee. Or maybe that chicken started laying eggs. Luckily i have the camera and i'm able to catch a few quick pictures of this bear in my yard.

Back to reality....

These yard ornaments are easy to make and can keep you busy for hours. All it takes is a little wood, some simple tools like a jigsaw and a pattern that can be made if you are artistic or purchased if you are not. Then you paint it and you too can be telling people about having a bear in my yard.

If you prefer to have a moose well that's fine. The selection of lawn ornaments that you can adorn you backyard with is limited only by your imagination.

These hand made ornaments are great for special occasions like hollaween or christmas or easter.

But i swear that there was a bear in my yard this morning. I even have the pictures to proove it.

early spring white clusters

Not quite sure what the name of these tiny white clusters are. But they are enjoying the space between the rocks in the small rock garden.

They may be babies breath but i don't think so.

Well what shows up when you need to know? She out of the living room and not overly covered with paint and she has with her the package of seeds that she planted last year and they are babies breath.

Gypsophila to be more precise.

Souffle d'enfant in francais.

That's it for now.....

Go back to the first picture in this early spring in the backyard stuff.

Early Spring Crocuses in Ontario

I'm almost sure that these beautiful early spring blooms are called Crocuses. There was a big clump of these Crocuses blooming in a secluded spot so she transplanted them in three different spots in the backyard.
After a few days and a little water they seem to be taking to the soil.

Those are more of those early spring pesky birds in the backyard.

No eggs yet from the chicken but we are hopeful.

Here's another crocus picture

See the nice white blooms.

early bird

It's the early bird that gets the worm so they say and it is no different in our early spring back yard. It seems that the only thing my other bird feeders is attracting is black bird. These little gems don't eat as much so they are welcome to stay for awhile. At least until those nice little yellow birds start coming around.

I found a few new early blooms.

Leave the early bird alone and have a look at my yellow Daffodil.

Early Spring Birdhouse

I took a paintbrush the other day and put a few dabs of paint on the roof of this hand crafted birdhouse which was purchased a few years ago.

In the winter it is protected from the snow with a plastic bag covering but it never hurts to protect it with a little extra paint.

Early Spring Backyard

Sorry but the craft lady is busy painting her living room today so the son is taking pictures in the backyard.

These two fishing buddies always seem to get lucky at this time of year. Today was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, and there was a nice light breeze blowing wind through the yard and over the fishing pond.

The early spring backyard wouldn't be complete without a visit to the bird house.

First daffodil
