wild flowers

Here is our backyard. This gentle arc of wildflowers makes it just about perfect this time of year. We mow a path down to the creek and the compost pile, but that is about it. The birds here are amazing. This week we have had many rose breasted grossbeaks and indigo buntings. We got a new finch feeder and the little stools are lined up below the bathroom window for goldfinch viewing. The house wrens also seem to love that maple tree outside the bathroom window. I think they may have nested in the wall of our house last year, but we have been diligent with filling in all the knot holes in the cedar this year.
