Some pictures

My grass is growing amazingly fast! I think I can almost see it growing. I guess another day or so and I'll put it down for my cats. Then I'd better plant more because it'll go fast!

This is Pippin. He was relaxing in the sun and turned to look at me so I got a really cute picture of him!

I think this is a Mountain Bluebird. It was on the fence outside my window and was kind enough to stay and allow me to take a picture and look at the bird book. This is the first bird I've been able to get a picture of and I was very excited!

It's Growing!

The last time my daughter visited she gave me a package of grass seed to plant. One of my cats loves to chew on grass and what she (my daughter) had left before was dead. I finally got around to planting them Monday afternoon and look how well they're doing already! For some reason this pleases me a great deal. I keep going out and staring at them. Hopefully I won't overwater - I'm trying to be careful though. My worst gardening habit is a belief that there is no such thing as overwatering.

Since I was taking pictures I thought I'd share my tulips also. I went to Trader Joe's tonight and saw these. Sometimes being poor can force you into good choices. I had this thought in the back of my mind that maybe I'd buy cookies for me. Then I saw the tulips and really wanted them. They were $3.49, about the same as cookies. As you can see I went with the tulips. All in all a much better choice I think!
