Our first hummingbird showed up at the feeder this morning, just a few minutes before I returned from doing errands.....so my husband was the first in our family to see a hummer this year! I haven't seen one yet, but I will be keeping a sharp eye on the feeder for sure.
As far as other creatures....our fat little groundhog is making good use of the back yard looking for tender clover to feed on. And today my husband went to get something out of our storage shed, and found a big black snake curled up in there. My husband said that he quietly closed the door and didn't disturb the snake, figuring that if he got in, he could get himself out of there too!
It's time once again to visit Pratt's azalea gardens outside of Woodstown, NJ. As you might remember, Mr. Pratt welcomes visitors, free of charge, during the last week of April and the first two weeks of May from 1 - 5 pm daily. At the light at Richman's on Route 40, heading west, turn left and then take the first left, go a short distance, and you'll see the sign for Pratt's Gardens on your left. Go down the drive to the open field, where you can park. I think we'd better hurry over there, as the azaleas are in full bloom everywhere I go. The azaleas in the Bridgeton City Park are in bloom, and it won't be long before the rhododendrons are in bloom everywhere too. Mine are just beginning to open. We wait so long for the spring blooms, and all too soon they are gone!
