The Catbird is back for the winter. I love hearing his goofy calls. He visits the birdbath every day.
The little Blue-Grey Gnatcatcher is so adorable! He's just a little bitty guy and boy is he busy. It's a definite challenge for me to capture him on camera.
They make the cutest little cheep-cheep noises too.
The little downy woodpecker likes to visit around dusk and makes a big rat-a-tat-tat for such a little guy. He's one of at least three species of woodpecker that we have in the yard. (Actually, this is a female)
The Gulf Fritillary is the most frequent butterfly visitor to the yard this fall.
I just got my vegetable seeds started on November 1st. I'm about a month behind, and I'm going to blame that on Hurricane Irma. I haven't grown veggies since I was a kid in Wisconsin. In other words, I really don't know what I'm doing.
This is a week later. I'm concerned they're getting a bit too spindly. We'll see. I'm attempting to grow heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, bush beans, poblano and banana peppers. Oh, and carrots. I haven't sowed the carrots yet, so I'd better do that pretty soon. Wish me luck! 🌱🍅🌿
