Inspiration for Tuesday, May 26 – 2009

Orange
This orchard oriole is driving the hummingbirds crazy. He loves their feeder most of all and so hangs out on the deck even if we are quite close by.
Nature report: First hummingbird mating loop on Friday, the baptisia are starting to bloom, Japanese iris are almost done, standard iris coming on with the purple ones with white falls in full bloom. I was hoping for peonies for Memorial Day, but no luck. This is their first year, so maybe they will be earlier next year. I bought one heirloom tomato this year – Nebraska Wedding. No idea what it is, but I liked the name.
