This morning we went bird watching and saw some Eastern Bluebirds. The female ented the bluebird house in the park right awayand after that we didn't see her again but the male perched on a branch and we got a good look at him through binoculars.
We planted the Morning Glories which we grew from seeds. It took them 5 or 6 weeks to grow big enough to plant outside. They are about 3 inches tall right now and some might be 4. Here is a picture of them.

Trough Planting
Today we planted some troughs of alpine plants that like sandy and rocky soil. The pebbles we put on top of the trough help keep the plants warm and moist. These plants will not grow very tall but some will bloom all summer. Here is a picture of one we planted.
Remember the photo of the woodland poppy we put in our fist post? Well here they are now three weeks later and in bloom. This morning we cut a bouquet of them and gave them to a neighbor for May Day. I think she enjoyed them a lot!
