And a little something to brighten the way to the weekend!

Only 6 more days until Spring!

I’m enjoying flower #4 on my Hibiscus:

But this morning I focused on the little micro-world also going on during the plant’s bloom process:

While all this was going on I had another little visitor:

You can see on the pole the remains of the ants I managed to destroy yesterday. Ants can quickly make a Hummingbird feeder all but useless since they get in the mixture and gum up access for the Hummingbirds. A little spray on the pole and some Sevin Dust at the ground seems to have done the trick – for now. This will have to be repeated in a day or three…just follow the ant’s trail and make sure you treat all the way back to the source.

Notice that the new wisteria is getting to prime-time growth season:

The way this thing is growing, it may be wrapped around the entire house by Fall 2011!
