Another back yard photo. I love the suction cup feeders on the window by my recliner. I have messy windows, but I don't mind. One day this little fella or one like him pecked on the window because the feeder was empty. I had heard they would do that but didn't really believe. It was true. I think it's a downy.

The tall candy lily that mysteriously appeared in the front bed. Each flower is only open for a day.They seem to screw themselves closed in a twist by nightfall.

I heard some loud screeching this morning and Bud was laying in front of the patio door. There was a squirrel on the balcony, yelling at him. I've got a bowl of water in the flowerbed for the birds and squirrels (we're in a drought) but so far no one has taken advantage of attempt at kindness :-(

A new little garden I added to the backyard this morning. The little red rose bush was a "giveaway" from my local nursery. They had a bargain bin to choose from - things mostly given up on for this year. But the little rose bush looked to be in pretty good shape and it has bloomed quite nicely in the past few weeks since I got it! And the bonus is that it has a great scent to it!!!
