I was sitting on the garden bench Friday morning and noticed new growth on the 2-story high camellia bush. Then I realized that the new foliage didn't look at all like camellia foliage - in fact, it looked like magnolia leaves. And they are magnolia leaves! A tree seems to have sprung up right in the middle of the camellia.
We put the sprinkler out this weekend while grandsons Sy and Jack were visiting. Sy had a great time playing under it, and it brought back many fond memories of playing under the sprinkler when I was a child. It also reminded me that the garden can be enjoyed in many ways by all ages.
Tonight I watched the birds at the feeder and saw at least ten beautiful cardinals - several families, I think. The parents were feeding the younger ones - it was a joy to watch them. I've not had any luck capturing them on camera - just this lone male in the tree waiting for me to get out of the way!
