Visions In A Larkspur Yard

 Our next-door neighbors have had this flag out for the summer.


They also have some lovely Larkspur.


Here is Mr. Squirrel on their birdfeeder. Can you see him up high, just to the right?


Here is a closer look.


They also have this lovely plot of Cone Flowers.


Can you spot the Bluejay?


Looking out our door across to their yard, I spotted a new exotic flower they had. I got so excited! Got my camera all ready. And it turned out to be a hummingbird feeder, not a real flower! Rats!


“Larkspur is summer’s handwriting — tall, loose, and full of wonder.”

The Larkspur is so pretty, and I love the color. I hope your neighbor gets lots of hummers at her feeder. The blue jay is a striking bird, and its tail is soooo long. The purple larkspur really shows up next to the white house.

I saw the squirrel, but not the bluejay. Had to laugh about the Hummingbird feeder. I like your neighbors flag. I've never planted Larkspur. Must check and see if they would be good in my area, they're very pretty.

We have such a hard time keeping squirrels from our bird feeders. Gary has tried almost everything. They are persistent little critters.
