News from my backyard..................

Just a little news from my place:
It's looking pretty good back there and I have been trying to tidy up. We are finally getting some much needed rain today....good for the garden.

The other morning I hung the Hummingbird feeder and the Finch sock.....in a few hours they were found! I had a House Finch pair at the sock and a male Hummingbird at the feeder. The next day two male Goldfinches and a female Hummingbird.....I'm so happy!
I planted some seed that is suppose to attract Hummingbirds and butterflies. They are just now starting to sprout. We shall see what happens. And...this year I planted one tomato plant. For the last several years I have had bad luck with tomatoes so we will see what happens to this one. I put a double fence around it because of that darn bunny.
In the photo you can see the rain......don't want it to go away today. LOL
note: my Dad's old watering can.

Back in the day....

 In the 1800s, everyone came to Belle Isle to walk, visit at the casino, canoe and swim. There are two roads that go right down the middle of the island and by some left behind items, I would think they were more popular than they are now. This art deco bridge is a favorite of mine but wow, just since I was there last it's been graffitid  and is a  real mess. What a shame.

 An old relic fire hydrant in the middle of no where

 Now that sign has been there awhile.....came across a few like that.

A bridge to nowhere
