A local friend says we live in the most magical spot ever, and I can't argue with that, given how spoiled I get with all the wildlife visits. It almost makes up for the... eclectic house we live in (it's technically a one bedroom, and we have three kids, sooo...lol!).
Okay, I supposed I should clarify a little since that sounds like we all bunk in the same room. 😜 The first floor is set up like a one bedroom apartment, and the upstairs is one huge space with vaulted ceilings, since this "barn" was originally converted to be a dual use - living quarters for our landlord's disabled father, and office space for his business. So we have three open concept bedrooms and one common TV space upstairs for the kids. Good think they all get along so well together, or it wouldn't work.
Moss Roses are now on my list of must have flowers - they are so gorgeous, and attract tons of butterflies. I can see why they were your mom's favorite!
We have tons of squirrels and chipmunks who frequent the feeders, which is probably why that branch (that overlooks my feeders) is the favorite perch for birds of prey. I toss out bread heals and stale bagels to keep them away from the bird seed, but half the time, the Blue Jays beat them to it! 😂
And yes, as I mentioned in a different comment above, our landlady spoils the hummingbirds with her feeder, so they return the favor by being friendly. I certainly won't complain!
Thanks so much, Denise, and hope you have an amazing weekend! 🤗
Oh yes! You are so lucky and is it okay if I envy you just a tiny bit?
