The second week of May.  The hummingbirds are back.  And the cat birds.  And the iris are shrugging off the frost and starting to bloom away.

This Week at Iten's Acres: May Flowers Arrive May 7, 2016

May flowers have begun.  The snowbirds have left for the farther north.  The rose-breasted grosbeak are here.  The kingfisher is scoping out the pond for goldfish dinner.  Gorgeous bird--don't know what he did with the money they gave him for voice lessons.  Iris are budding.  There are going to be more than I imagined.  The potbunker strategy appears to be a success.  Anyway, here's the first week of May flowers at Iten's Acres.

This Week at The Acres: On the Fringe of May Flowers April 30. 2016

This Week at The Acres: Dilemma. Grass needs mowing. Rainy. Solution: Get wet mowing. And it even turned into a Feeding the Swallows time! Well worth it.

I am in anticipation mode. It's a little early but everything is early this spring. I am on the hunt for iris buds every walk. The dwarfs iris have bloomed already--most of them And a bud or so have appeared. Not I have to wait to see if this will be an iris spring. Other things are blooming--a daffodil or so; one bouquet has just started to bud (strange), tulips still coming, hardy geranium, azalea,

all kinds of bells--pink, white, blue. Crab apples are magnificent. Still waiting on the bleeding hearts which have usually bloomed by now. Freeze set them back, I guess. Anyway, here's this weeks beauties.
