Wednesday Walk In The BackYard

in Wednesday Walk2 years ago (edited)

Wednesday Walk is hosted by @tattoodjay who collaborates with @elizacheng the host of #Makemesmile 😊

For my Wednesday Walk I took a jaunt around the backyard to see how some perennial plants were growing now the ground as been kissed by the spring sunshine. Later I will plant some tomatoes and peppers.

These little blue flowers are a nice ground cover and faithfully bloom every year.

Sweet perfume filled the air as I walked by the lilac bush.

Rhubarb starting to get big enough to use some to make a pie or jam for toast.

I’ve used some of these chives already in a puréed asparagus soup.

This is oregano. When it grows bigger, it can be used fresh or cut, dried and stored for later.

The Grackle struts across the driveway. He makes me smile with his antics in trying to keep other birds and the squirrel away.

The peaceful robins give the grackle lots of space and do their own thing in combing the lawn for worms and insects.

I didn’t check out flowers in the front lawn but will save them for another time.

The raccoon must have been watching and decided on a daytime trip to see if I left him any cat food in a dish on the back deck.

The masked bandit normally is a nocturnal animal but knows if he doesn’t get to the dish early the skunk will visit and eat the food.

He makes me smile with his cunning ways. I leave a pail of water on the deck as raccoons like to wash their little paws before they eat.

This ends my Wednesday Walk among the plants, birds and raccoon.

I love the flowers and the bird photos are lovely, Jo, but the Raccoon is my favourite - such an awesome little guy 😍 I would love if they were around here too and I wonder what our cats would do if one visited them on the balcony 😁

Lovely post, dear Jo 🌞


!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)

Hi Hannes. The raccoon is quite a character. 🦝 He seems to keep an eye on the house to see if any food goes out.

Thanks for everything dear Hannes. I’m glad you liked the photos. 🤗

Have a wonderful Frigg’s Day and coming weekend! ☀️

Hi Jo,

it's good to hear that there's a raccoon around your house again - a hopefully nice one who doesn't destroy the hummingbird feeders 😉

Frigg's Day started wet and might stay wet. Wishing you sunshine all weekend long 🤗🌞


!PIZZA and !BEER served with !LUV - sounds like a lovely dinner :)

Thankfully this raccoon hasn’t touched the hummingbird feeder. 🤞 Leaving a pail of water on the deck may have satisfied him but it’s not sugared water like the feeder.

Apparently raccoons have a high IQ …higher than a dog. I worry about the wildlife with coyotes around. A lot of cats and dogs have gone missing. I haven’t seen a stray cat in a long time. A coyote can kill a raccoon but I think they would put up a good fight.

It’s been a cool start to June with cold air hanging over us, dear Hannes. 🤗

The raccoon might not have tried the sweet water yet, so he's not interested in the bummingbird feeder, or maybe he is a really nice raccoon that leaves your things alone as long as you feed him 😀

I also think that the raccoon would make it hard for a coyote, but maybe the coyotes know that and they will leave your house alone while the little raccoon is around 😁

We still have rainy and stormy weather with massive thunder and hail storms all around, but here it's quite warm.

I know I have already wished you a sunny weekend, dear Jo, but maybe it works when I do it a second time 🤗🌞

Beautiful flowers in the garden @redheadpei 😁
And than the little visitor. How cute… 🦝 they do adjust hahaha 🤣

Thanks @littlebee4. Yes, it’s always nice to see the little masked bandit. 😊

Have a lovely weekend!

You are welcome @redheadpei 😁
Thank you kindly, you too, have a lovely weekend 👋🏻💃🏻☀️

What a lovely walk in your backyard. I've been on a spring flower kick lately. There are so many to photograph. The brilliant colors make me feel cheery. Thank you for sharing some of your floral beauties.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a lovely comment. Seeing flowers does make one cheerier. 🌸 😊

I think that the most beautiful flowers, and the ones that can be best appreciated, are those that are so small and of different colors. Another great moment is to receive a visit from the raccoon!

Thanks so much for your visit. Yes, it always puts a smile on my face to see the little critter. 🦝 😊

Have a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful gardens and creatures, so nice of you to leave water for the racoon

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
