wah-chicka-wah waaaahhhh

it's been a while. to be frank, the man around here had taken over the bloggin' for a while. getting all cocky and whatnot with his link-making, picture-posting, and ego-tripping over the Man Cave.

i've just spent the last three hours planting a shade garden whilst he golfs. my life is so hard!

we have big things cooking in the landscaping post department. my guess is that entry will happen after the weekend. until then, birding has been great at city cabin. in a romantic kind of way. everybody is gettin' it on avian style. it's bird sex in the city:




nectar--like an after-coitus smoke:


building a love nest:



heeeeyyyy baaby:




things to come: toad lilies, lilacs, flame grass, and my greatest challenge of digitally capturing the hummingbird that showed up tonight.
