.. But 
there's always a pair of doves with one sparrow first before the dang invasion of doves and sparrows. It seems like those three hang out together . Another bad picture from the campark.
There's 3 pair that visit. I only know that because I've seen 5 at once. There has to be another one. I hope I get to see them with toddlers in training soon. It's really cute to watch doves with their kids. Spring will brighten the yard up soon with Crab Apple blossoms, leaves, and green grass instead of onions. That'll help the color.
I like the look of my 8' garden border fence with the little camouflage trail camera on a 2x2 x4' pole. I think I'll add a couple more 2' sections to the fence though.
The best thing you can do for wildlife in the Spring is to do nothing Cathie - there could be all sorts of amphibians, insects and even queen bees hiding in leaf litter etc until the weather gets warm enough for them to move on. So don't apologise - it looks much better than my garden right now!Well... sorry my front yard is such a Crab Apple tree and weed mess right now
That's my motto too.
after fall I let it lay for the winter. It's usually composted in the soil by spring. Those durn onions have to go though. I'll be hiring a teenager to help me with the wild onions again 
as usual.
After my accident and I came out of my coma. When I woke up in the morning or after a nap. I would have a horrible migraine. I tried different beds and pillows. After about a year of putting up with the migraines. I was at a pain center for my back. Lower back and I fractured vertebraes in my next from the accident. I mentioned the migraines and ended up having injections. The migraines pretty much stopped for 6 months. After a few more injections over a period of a year. They went to a procedure called ablation. Where they cauterize the nerve endings. That has been over a year now and I have had just a few migraines. Not sure if your situation is the same from injuries or something else. Just thought I would throw that out here.
Is the forecast for snow normal this time of year?
It's quite late but it has happened before.
