Hello garden lovers, my gardening friends,
Mint had grown out of hand as it always does. A pine tree was lost in an ice storm two winters ago, so a shade spot became a sunny spot along the patio fence. The vining plants, mint, and a plant that puts out shoots like a strawberry plant (I'm no expert on plant names) just flooded the area. Week after week, I tell myself to clean the area out. Neglect became the attraction to some special friends. The yellow finch with its black wings have become rare as has many of our songbirds because we in America have crows, black birds, and some other mean birds that have caused some birds to become extinct.
For several days I noticed a yellow finch perch on the mint (that tells you how hight it is) and eat the aphids. There was always, I thought, a little sparrow sitting alongside. The use of binoculars revealed it was the the female. Then there appeared a third yellow finch. Each day standing at the kitchen window I delight seeing them feed on my less than perfect garden.

A rather large brown toad has found this a good place to hide and stay safe altho I came close to stepping on it.
This morning it was a most exciting event when a hummingbird approached the mint only to spy bright red flowers blooming that looked more yummy. The littlest of the bird kingdom entertained me while I made my cup of tea.
