Dear Diary,

Spring is almost here and I can't wait! I've already started getting out my garden statues and selected the next victims for my hell-bent desire to learn how to garden. Its not like I want to grow enough vegetables to feed the world, or enough flowers to open my own floral business. I just want my flower beds to be colorful, pretty, and attract butterflies. OK I will even give on the butterflies, if everything would just blossom and look pretty. I haven't decided what I will put in my hanging baskets, I do ok with greenery sometimes. Last year I had a really pretty green plant that lived almost all summer long! YAY Of course my Wandering Jews will have to make another appearance, I am going to attempt to transplant a sprig of it from the plant that my friend revived from last summer's causalities.


Here's a picture of my new bird house! I just love it :)



Fortunately I have 'the touch' when it comes to attracting squirrels and birds to my yard. I figure the squirrels will show up anyway I might as well feed them. haha I am looking for another squirrel feeder, one with the hindgey-type top that the squirrels have to open up and get the food out. Right now I have the one that I put the corn cob style-food down on the nail and the squirrels come and nibble it off. Although a couple months ago I had problems with raccoons, so I stopped putting food out until the raccoons went away. Oh the squirrels didn't starve, I bought the loose corn and fed them at the edge of the trees.

I looked at a bat-box earlier, I thought it would be fun to also have a place for bats to rest during the day. Unfortunately my roommates said they would smoother me in my sleep if I did that, so... I decided not to... yet. But that's our secret. ;)

Although, the thought of a butterfly garden is very appealing... I guess that I should learn to grow plants before I use them to lure in more animals. :)
