Bluebirds are back!

The bluebirds were back scouting the nesting box today. The winged sumac is beginning to produce flowers. The Tall Elephantfoot is in flower as are a few Patridge Pea with many more seedlings visible. First signs of fruit on the rear wild grapevine. I replanted the drowned butterfly garden today with four of the salvaged plants and hope for better results. Yesterday I discovered some sunflower-looking flowers over behind the overgrown veggie garden as I was cleaning up around there. Found a very ripe bell pepper which was bright red. Woodpeckers are making good use of the garden shoe that I tacked to a pine snag and filled with birdseed. Two can be seen taking turns grabbing seed and flying back to their home a couple of lots over.
