@HumanistJohn, @Lincoln55 my azaleas are budding (in the mountains) but my friend's azaleas are already in bloom (back home on the coast). I can't wait!

Idiots continue to ignore social-distancing and congregate in public spaces.

Heidi68 comments on Mar 22, 2020:

Some of us are not idiots but work in locations the idiots who are suppose to be self-quarantined like to congregate.

Heidi68 replies on Mar 22, 2020:

@bobwjr I figured that but wanted to make sure people realize not all who are out are not the problem.

I especially loved the "weed." Were you using a macro lens? How did you get so close without it scattering?

Finches are already building nets.

glennlab comments on Mar 15, 2020:

Our birds have been early, the bluejays have already fledged their first chicks, I put out dryer lint for the cardinals, now it's rained for 3 days, so once it dries out, I'll put out more. The doves and hawks are doing their dance in my trees, and the osprey has destroyed my hydroponic set up ...

Heidi68 replies on Mar 15, 2020:

@glennlab got tons of little birds.... but you are right they are quick little buggers. Today I had to stand in the yard for about 20 minutes while one flew back & forth, then he/she sat in the tree on the other side of the pasture 'watching'....

Beautiful landscape...a golf course!

Robecology comments on Mar 15, 2020:

France & Spain just joined Italy in shutting down their countries.

AnonySchmoose comments on Mar 14, 2020:

I believe it is responsible to shut down countries with rapid rising infection rates, until the pandemic diminishes, better ways of handling it exist, and needed supplies are available again. Shutting down countries is drastic, but there are no better options as yet.

Heidi68 replies on Mar 14, 2020:

@AnonySchmoose the UNC college system & Duke all went to online classes last week. March madness (huge college basketball tournament) was cancelled and in my little town - MerleFest (a music festival) is cancelled.

Freedompath comments on Mar 14, 2020:

I hope this inadvertenting test, is not slipped under the rug!

Heidi68 replies on Mar 14, 2020:

I agree! I read an article a couple of days ago about the Amazon Rainforest and the shallow water coral - how their demise is actually moving at a quicker rate than previously thought. Coral possibly less than 10 years & the Amazon less than 50 years. Maybe this will help.

NC just announced the closure of schools til at least the beginning of April. I think that is smart especially since a teacher was confirmed with it.

@AnonySchmoose his cage is in the tv room and he is pretty quiet when I am in here (unless it is something I want to hear then he seems to decide it is play time). Now, if I am not in the room with him he is a continuous chatter box - imagine a two year old for 26+ years..... 🤣

Heidi68 replies on Mar 14, 2020:

@AnonySchmoose he will be 27 April 13. I have a picture somewhere right after I got him - still had some baby down. He has been great fun. I am actually trying to design a outdoor aviary for him for the summer. We had a small one in OK. which he enjoyed so I am hoping to have similar success (except he ate a hole in the top of the last one - it was actually a small dog pen).

Why? It is a very good question!

Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn, Oregon. I think I'll make a visit this year!

JackPedigo comments on Mar 11, 2020:

Beautiful and great mix of colors. Believe it or not the nations largest Tulip (and 2 other varieties of flowers) are located in my back yard in Mt. Vernon. April is the Tulip month and I stay away from the city during that month due to all the tourists (hmm wonder what it will be like this year). ...

Heidi68 replies on Mar 11, 2020:

I went to the Tulip Festival many years ago - it was amazing! One day I want to make it to The Netherlands in the spring.
