The north side of our front yard is a certified National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat. Really! We have a certificate! You can do the same by providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young. It is so much fun to see all of the critters that stop by for a visit. I’ve begun a new series of posts to show you our Garden Guests.

This handsome fellow is a male goldfinch. You can see he is eating black oil sunflowers from a tube feeder, but these tiny birds also love thistle feeders. Their favorite option though is grazing through the flower beds. Fading purple coneflowers (Echinacea) have tons of seeds for the goldfinches to nibble. Remember, the key to habitat gardening is adding native plants to your landscape!
And now for some blogging music. My Handsome Husband has been singing this to me lately.

Bless his heart! In the past 28 years, I’ve crashed and wrecked all kinds of stuff!
