Hallson Gardens

Whew! Lots of great information! Thanks! I hadn't even considered anything other than a mutant tabby :lol: or an ocicat orphan. My son mentioned this a.m. that he's noticing the long stripes down his back are turning into little "dashes"....strange! Love the pics of your cats...they are really beaut...

Such a fun kitten this little guy is!! I'll try to get some new pics posted tomorrow. His belly is lighter with lots of spots too! We think his short, short fur seems to be getting a little more silver than brown now....and SPOTS! Spots are a neat little pattern all over! There seems to bands of col...

My Gosh...you look beautiful! You're just the encouragement I need! Funny how those lbs. sneak up...............thanks for posting!.......Pam

Isn't he a cutie?!? I've had a few here in Michigan too this spring/summer. Much larger than my common house wrens...and louder too!

Neat pics!.......Pam

Mornin' Ellen! As soon as you mentioned "it looked like a sunflower but has little balls instead of flowers"....I had to laugh! A few years ago, I left a similiar plant in one of my gardens. I KNEW it was a sunflower germinated from one of the bird feeders! It grew and grew.......and grew and grew! ...

Love that intense look on all their faces! (Look pretty comfy on that lap too!) Thanks for sharing.........p

Just a few months ago...we talked about getting a cat/kitten to keep our lonely cat company! We decided if we were supposed to have one...it would show up! My son works at a garden center nearby...one morning last week, he found this kitten wedged down INSIDE the seat of the golf-cart he uses daily....

Such a fun show! There IS "something" very intelligent about starlings. I love hearing their borrowed chatter in the big old cottonwood tree out behind one of the school greenhouses...obviously mimicking other birds. Have you ever taken the time to really watch how they fly in groups?? There's some ...

Yup! I remember reading this in The Daily Telegram ! Crazy peoples out there who like to have somethin' "unique"...but don't know what to do with it! Bet we have some other strange stuff around here too! (well, I guess the WWII bomb found in the ditch was pretty strange!) I remember quite a while ba...

Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!.......p

We have a pair nesting in the yard again this year! My challenge is they keep tipping the hummingbird feeders and sipping the nectar!

I have an oriole feeder ready to get out tomorrow....and some grape jelly!.....beautiful pic!......p

Beautiful! Your fella is an egret...one of my favorite birds!

I'm really surprised he is so friendly...usually they are quite shy. We just saw a pair land in the trees a while back!.....p

Just love seeing your pictures! I'm kind of surprised the other fellas aren't intimidated by that guy!

He looks like he's wearing a tuxedo! Thanks for posting!....Pam

Yay! Saw a hungry fella yesterday! Hope more are on their way!......p

They're supposed to be back here too, but they must be hiding!

I put out my feeders two weeks ago..and have changed the nectar a couple times.....but not seen a-one!

(Hmmmmm........maybe if I stayed home from work and kept watch)........p

I'm so jealous! I've only seen one of these fellas...it was inthe Upper Peninsula and he was flying across the road.

Thanks so much for posting this pic.....very cool!....Pam

Oh, these are like sunshine! Beautiful!

Mine are just starting to show a little color...love 'em!.....p

Beautiful pics! I was surprised to see the Skunk cabbage in a garden...it IS an unusual plant...it grows wild all over here; one of our first Spring bulletins!......p
