I stepped out for a moment and was enjoying my morning coffee on the deck this morning, and brought my camera along to get some pictures of the shade garden's progress....
The statue of Mary that belonged to my Aunt Joey is now encircled with honeysuckle blooms. The hummingbirds just love this stuff!
And the columbine is still blooming in places
here's a closer view of the soft pink and cream flowers... But then i noticed some movement under the hosta along the border of the garden....
and out popped this little guy! He is a constant visitor to the shade garden bird feeders.
He does what he can to keep the seeds from piling up on the mulched garden floor back there.He certainly looks healthy enough with that beautiful glossy coat and those bright shiny eyes!
And look at him pack those seeds into the pouches in his cheeks! He reminds me of the little hamsters i used to have and love so much as a girl....
I love that these little ones can find food and security on my little piece of land here.
