Window Box

We have a long way to go to spruce up our outside spaces, but here is a start.

We have this one window box outside of our kitchen, which I periodically change out – dependent on the season. I recently planted these lovely rosy-red and pale pink nemesia. They not only are beautiful, but they have a wonderful scent too. I’m hoping the hummingbirds will like them.

Speaking of which (or in this case writing), I saw a ruby-throated hummingbird yesterday for the first time this season. Our ringed-neck pigeons have made an appearance too. They always come in pairs. The ringed-neck pigeon is about 12 inches in length and has a thin white line around its neck.

We derive so much pleasure out of seeing our returning feathered friends. Add to that the new growth, the comeback of flowers, color, sunshine, and longer days, and all seems well in the world.
