Hi Donna, Yes, the daddy blackbird follows me around the garden, especially when I am digging or watering. Interesting how quickly it happens wherever I start in the garden .

My friend has a mouth full of worms and he comes and checks out the freshly turned over bed in case he can fit in some more #gardening 🌱 #blackbird

Crimson clover enjoying our sunny spring weather. Fascinating so see the much larger flowers and leaves in the second year, given the slow growth in the first year. A plant that is new to me. #gardening 🌱

Our four-year schnauzer keeps smelling and barking at this location on our fence line (maybe thinking there is a rat there) and today she put her crocodile at the spot #gardening #schnauzer
