Ponds in Canada

[MitchM]

I just now watched the video. The birds are nice to hear.
In a few weeks I'm going to have to be careful what I put out for bird food because the bears will be waking up and looking for something to eat.

 

[MitchM]

Addy, that's a TON of bird food!
I'll bet there's quite a mess under the feeders as well.

Just a little sacrifice

There is so many that they are actually getting to be a problem with pooping there and I must go and clean up after them every spring with the hose!

for the birdies!

Not really, it is at the edge of one of the gardens, the doves etc clean up any dropped seed, the sun flower seed hulls join the mulch that is under the feeders. I don't do anything except refill the feeders. They tend to grab a seed and fly to the woods to eat it, the feeders are up a 20 foot pole out in the open.

Well, half an hour north of Toronto this fine morning (5 days from Spring), it is an absolute balmy -13C with a windchill factor somewhere in the neighborhood of -20C.

Still about 3' of ice on Lake Simcoe. Spring has been cancelled...................sigh...............................

Thanks Addy!! and not too far off from my ponds is a little tiny fairy village called "Many Fairy Berries". If you can find your way past my collection of Garden junk by the ponds, there is another "stoned" pathway that will take you there!! Then "puff" and you will be at the "HaPPy pLaNet" Just Like Magic it will appear, a garden of fairies, Ha Ha Ha....

where the weather is always nice and the sun always Shines!!

 

[MitchM]

You're in a different Canada than I am, Colleen, ha ha.

You're plants are coming along great.

 

[j.w]

You know you have me busting out laughing right now listening to you narrate about all your collections Colleen
Your garden junk is just lovely and it brightens up my day seeing each and every bit of it. I bet it does scare the heron away too

Your new little piggie is so cute

 

[addy1]

I love listening to her voice. So calm and joyful. Love the stuff Colleen, I have few pond junk items, mainly metal stuff I hauled from my house in arizona.

Thanks for listening to my silly videos! Glad to hear they are entertaining too!
Oh last night I had a wonderful dream, my wonderful pink water lilly was blooming everywhere! I was so excitied in my dream, and I had forgot I had that dream until just now, funny how the mind works. I did trim lots of branches off the big crabapple tree that blocks some of the afternoon sun, so maybe I will have many more pink blooms on the pond this year! The new lily that I bought last year is pink, the old yellow lilly I have had forever, since I first started ponding it over 23 years ago, maybe I will get it a new pot and some food and see what happens to that one this year.

Enjoyed your video Hey, a little pop of color is good for all of us!

No dreams for me in the past few days. Can't sleep too well for some reason. Usually my melatonin kicks in and helps. Maybe too much bad stuff around here listening to the radio/tv about poor lost people. Glad I have you nice people to cheer me up and Colleen w/ your wonderful bright junk. I don't think I know anyone from the slide area but still they are our neighbors. They come to our town to work I'm sure so I bet some are clerks in stores that I have chatted with. Anyway thanks for the good cheer Colleen

am glad to cheer you up JW, and I can't imagine how scary the whole thing is, and how close to home, one big hill away... Sure hope your hill will be ok. The whole darn area sounds soaked good, so all the big hills and mountains around could be unstable in that area. Your not safe down low, cause there is a flood to worry about, and anyone living on a hill must be worried a little too. No wonder you were all gloomy with all the rain, you must have had a sense of foreboding or something...
