Backyard birds

A few weekends ago I decided to take advantage of the warm spring sun, and I spent an afternoon cleaning off my deck and arranging all my plants; most of which made it through the winter quite well. Here are some photos from this weekend - after the snow storms.

Birds and Cats

Relaxing Cats
Prior to leaving for vacation, in June, I was informed that I had to clear everything off my deck so it could be rebuilt. Well, having lived here for 10 years I was not looking forward to that project. A frantic phone call to my dad secured a helper and within two hours we had everything inside my apartment. We had to relocate plants into the bathroom so the cats would not eat them, my dad took home several planters and the extras were left in the living room. Over the last few weeks I have found several inchworms in my bathroom and spiders spinning webs in my dining room! I finally gave up, called the office and informed them that I didn't care if my building trim was painted or not, I was moving everything back to the deck. It has been a work in progress for the last few days. I think I am happy with how things look. The cats and the birds don't seem to have any complaints.
