1. My garden must be marked on some flyway map for birds — had two ducks and a huge Swainson’s hawk fly through at very scary low altitude. Certainly quieted down the chittering sparrows!
2. Tomato plants are both sporting blossoms already. I caught one of the squirrels planting a peanut in the tomato tub & have named him Jimmy. 😉
3. Heard from both sons, & my grandson will be over later to visit.
4. Bonus: This rose is a hybrid tea, aptly named “Perfume Magic”

1. The single fully-opened creamy white rose saying “cheese” & pleading for me to take its photo. (Too rainy, grass is too puddly, it’s too high to reach. Sorry, rose.) The pic below in full bloom was taken a couple of years ago, the other is today’s.
2. Lovely to slowly open my bedroom blinds and find two hummingbirds at the feeder just outside.
3. Soggy little birds & squirrels begging at the door for bits of bread & a few peanuts. I’m not the only one craving SUN!

Another birthday gift I offer to readers here: the first rose of the season bloomed in our garden today. This is a fragrant old rose we've had since the 1980s, when a sweet elderly neighbor in New Orleans, a Black gentleman named Mouton Bickham, shared a cutting with us. For years, not knowing that the rose is called Louis Philippe, we called it the Mouton Bickham rose. I love seeing it in this hand-painted vase that my favorite aunt cherished.

1. Doing better at staying off social media; the phrase ‘doomscrolling’ is not an exaggeration. 😱
2. Three hummingbirds are visiting the feeder regularly & the garden is alive with squirrels, assorted sparrows, tits, doves & finches — and the dominant Aries scrub jays.
3. My roses are starting to bloom - I’m hoping they do as well as last year’s.
