Another week in the books. Trying to keep the photo offerings interesting. Also don't want to be too repetitive.
Day 27-
Two dogs who think their job is to keep the squirrels at bay and away from the bird feeders on the deck. Wish there was a way to discourage the squirrels from coming on the deck, but think that is a lost cause!

Day 28-
Making bee fondant. Yes, we keep honey bees and in the winter we feed them with a solid sugar cake that is called bee fondant, not to be confused with culinary fondant. Once this sugar/water mixture is cooled we put it in the top of each hive. At current time we have three hives.

Day 29-
Our front room has a southern exposure, the only room (except our closet) with windows facing south. My houseplants winter in this room. With the low angle of the sun and our trees, even this window doesn't provide enough sunlight for the plants. Was able to find a plant light that has a timer so I can give the plants a good amount of light.

Day 30-
A very cloudy day. This is a view of our driveway. I play with the dogs every day, tossing a ring or a disc up and down the driveway. They love it. As I write I have a white fluffy dog bothering me to go out again.

Day 31-
Our driveway is lined with rocks, kind of like bumpers at a bowling alley to keep us from going off the edge. Some parts of the driveway have a bit of a drop off. Sprouting up between the rocks are some Spleenwort fronds. This one is Asplenium platyneuron, Ebony Spleenwort.

Day 32-
I have a number of daffodils in my woods, field, and gardens. They vary in bloom time from early to mid to late season blooming. I believe this one to be Narcissus 'Grand Soleil d'or'.

Day 33-
One shelf of gardening books. I have a good collection of books. When I first graduated from my Master Gardener class in Virginia I bought the A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants. It was my first 'big' book to better learn plants and how to identify them.  |
