Spring is rejuvenating Central Massachusetts. I’ll be taking some time off from blogging to focus on landscaping updates and planting the vegetable gardens. See you in a few weeks!Female Northern CardinalZen Contemplation Garden
This photo blog features the seasonal changes in nature observed in my own backyard and a variety of local environments. The Wachusett Meadow Audubon Sanctuary in Princeton, MA is often highlighted as a model for the positive effects a small nature preserve can have on the larger environment and the local community. Local sites of historical, cultural and recreational interest are spotlighted as well.
All photographs were taken by me. Thank you so much for visiting.
I’ve been doing a lot of work in my patio and backyard myself. I understand, Julie. But I’ll miss your blogging. I’m sure that you’ll make your property look like Eden. Take care dear. 🙂
Your garden looks gorgeous. I’m in the process of creating a garden by the front of our house, which has been quite the process so far, but looking forward to seeing everything bloom and grow.

That is such a beautiful garden! And it’s a lot of work to keep it as it is.
A female Northern Cardinal is wonderful. Right now I know how it looks 🙂

Your garden looks so inviting, Julie. If I were a cardinal, I would come stay with you, too! 🙂

Thanks, Tanja. The cardinal has a nest in the rhododendron near our front door, so we get chided quite a bit!

Maybe you need to enter the house through another door?! 😊

I would, except that would be the deck door, where a robin has a nest underneath. So glad the wrens just build in the the birdhouses! 😉

Maybe you need to enter the house through one of the windows so you won’t disturb any of your avian tenants. 🙂
