Welcome Back

After a long snowy winter, old favorite flora and fauna are once again reappearing in my yard.

Our perpetual goose visits the Red Azalea.

Even this particular heron came back to admire the rhododendron blossoms.

Our Zen Garden houses favorite statuary and seasonal visitors.

It overlooks the woods, which is filled with many types of wildlife.

Heron Celebration With Bonuses

Statuary from a local yard sale celebrates the recent surprising visit of a Great Blue Heron to our Zen garden.

A few weeks ago, a Great Blue Heron graced our Zen garden for a few moments before flying into the nearby woods. We began hunting for a heron statue to commemorate that event.

Serendipitously, a friend spied a pair of small heron statues at a yard sale shortly after the extraordinary visit.

In pride of place, the first heron now stands patiently in the “reeds” of the white stone river .

The second heron found a home in the zinnia garden.

As another bonus, a pair of wandering ducks was also found at the sale.

They are energetic and curious.

We never know where the ducks will wander. Hurrah for yard sales!
