Echinacea

2010-07-26T17:21:00.000-07:00

Now Wilkipedia says "Echinacea (pronounced /ˌɛkɨˈneɪʃ(iː)ə/)^[1] is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae. The nine species it contains are commonly calledpurple coneflowers. They are endemic to eastern and central North America, where they are found growing in moist to dry prairies and open wooded areas. They have large, showy heads of composite flowers, blooming from early to late summer. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἐχῖνος (echino), meaning "spiny," due to the spiny central disk. Some species are used in herbal medicines and some are cultivated in gardens for their showy flowers. A few species are of conservation concern."

I just think they are pretty...:)

Snow in April

2010-04-29T05:28:00.000-07:00

A Big Storm hit Vermont on Tuesday and Wednesday , here in Montgomery we got 18" of snow. I have to say after spending the last week in shorts and Gardening this is NOT what I had in mind and my birds were NOT to happy about it either. Today it is very windy as the warm air tries to push its way back in and melt the snow away again!

Here is hoping for Spring to come back again! Now I need to go out and fix my little greenhouses.....

Well it WAS Spring ....

They're Back!

2010-04-22T05:42:00.000-07:00

Yesterday sitting on our deck behind the house I sat at watched goldfinch, chickadees, juncos, sparrows, woodpeckers, nuthatches, everywhere I look there were birds! Its so nice to have them back! Course mixed in there were a couple chipmunks and a squirrel too! I had to wait until my dog chased the squirrel away so I could get up and get my camera since I didn't want to be the one to scare them! Its amazing how close I can get to them without scaring them though...I'm so glad we left the Christmas trees our goats chewed the needles off for the birds they love them! Nothing like recycling...twice!
