I love watch the birds stop at our bird baths, either for a drink or to take a bath. They seem to congregate there. This Northern Flicker stopped by our little bird bath for a drink.
So cute, don’t you think?
With the forecast for rain , sleet and possible snow and with the temperatures below freezing, I cut the last of my Zinnias for the season. I can’t believe I’ve still been able to enjoy the my Zinnias in my home in November. What a treat! (Click on the photo to see the whole bouquet!)
So, I thought I’d share them with you! May this brighten your day, especially if you live on the east coast!
If you’re looking for a gorgeous and fairly easy hike in Provincetown, try the Beech Forest Trail. It is just beautiful as it meaders on a boardwalk over the marshes, through a beech tree forest, through a pine forest and then around the lake.
It doesn’t get much prettier, especially in the fall when the colors are spectacular!
I never knew there are so many different varieties of Goldenrod wildflowers. Wow! I saw this Slender Fragrant Goldenrod a couple of weeks ago while hiking at Fort Hill. Although I’ve seen Goldenrod for years and years, I don’t remember seeing this one before. It looked so delicate.
Slender Fragrant Goldenrod has 1/4″ tiny yellow flowers that form a flat-topped cluster at the top of the plant, which grows 1-2 feet. They bloom from July through October on dry sandy soil and fields.
Have you ever seen a Slender Fragrant Goldenrod?
