We have hanging baskets, and we have a front garden,
but we are low on trees.
I've looked, but even in the Charlie Brown section, they are pricey.
Look what we found last weekend.
It came home with the top extending out a front seat window.
Laura dug as big around as the branches and deeper than the pot.
There are two bags of good dirt in there.
They call it "soil" at the nursery.
One morning I stepped out the door, and the leaves were rustling.
I looked and looked, and then found the chickadee.
Such cheeky little fellows.
I didn't disturb it a bit.
It hopped across the branches and onto the railing, to take a good look at me.
Then up to the crook, and with a final Phoebe, off it went.
Bit by bit that house is being turned into a home.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have that bird eating out of your hand before long!
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteOh Joanne - glorious!!! Thus begins the creation such as a couple lanes back &*> and already the birds luv ya. YAM xx
So glad you planted an edible tree. Nothing better. I wish I'd have planted acres of nut trees years ago. Nice income from them.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take them long does it? Love that tree.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! I like the tree and your visitor you had!
ReplyDeletebetty
You will hgave your laawn looking like the garden you used to have in no time.
ReplyDeleteI just read this in the rhythm of Austin's rendition...worked out well, at least in my head.
ReplyDeletehow long before you get pears?
ReplyDeleteChickadee today, partridge tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMaking itself right at home - wonderful! And yes, trees are pricey. But then again, they've been growing for awhile before we buy them. I guess it works out.
ReplyDeleteAwww... that's so cute. I love chickadees. My neighbor planted a pear tree and it produced tons of fruit. You're going to LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have a tree now!! And a chickadee!!
ReplyDeleteThe tree and the hanging basket look good in their location. Much nicer to have chickadees and other birds visit now that they have a place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI must be feeling a bit dense this morning. I wondered how people knew what the tree was until I read your title again. We grew a pear tree from a pip once but panicked when it grew too big. I'm afraid it became compost.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is growing nicely x
ReplyDeleteThat chickadee was just waiting for you to plant a tree. I bet he's gone to tell all his friends :)
ReplyDeleteChickadee ... what a fabulous name ! I wonder if we have them here and , if so , what they're called .
ReplyDeleteBut now , I'm going to be saying chickadee all day ...
Oh , it's called a Matkop in Dutch . I think I'll just stick to chickadee .
ReplyDeleteYes!!
ReplyDeleteGot me curious... edible pear or an ornamental Bradford? Happy that you have already attracted birds... makes the place a real home!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that Laura dug the hole and planted that tree!
ReplyDeletelovely. must have trees and trees that bloom and produce fruit are essential.
ReplyDeleteProbably a good luck sign that chickadee.
ReplyDeleteKeep that tree very well watered and it should do well.
Those flowers are so pretty. Nice way to hang them from that pole.
ReplyDeleteIs that a dog sitting on the porch?
ReplyDeleteyour garden is getting so nice.
That's lambie, the concrete garden ornament from the old house. Also on the steps are toad and frog. The auctioneer who took a lot of possessions to auction wanted them badly. They are aged and weathered and just lovely. I turned him down.
DeleteGood you did it. Now i remember them from the pictures of the old house.
