If you stop by my home, you might be a bit confused about the plants in our garden. Some are for aesthetics, but most are for habitat. Our yard certainly does not look manicured. If you have time, I hope you’ll visit the GARDEN PAGE of my blog. There are lots of posts and photos of the sweet visitors we enjoy. That series is called “Garden Guests”.
When we purchased our old rock farmhouse, one of the big attractions was tall, mature trees.
There’s a wonderful soapberry at the northwest corner of our home. It’s a terrific umbrella just off our back porch.
Every year, we enjoy Cedar Waxwings as they pause on their migration to snack on the soapberries.
If you love Waxwings, too, you’ll want to click HERE or THERE (or both!)
For this post, though, I want to showcase the tree. The berries are thought to be poisonous for humans, but birds love them! Can you see the upside down chickadee in a shadow? 😉 Not a great photo, but this little cutie almost looks like it’s levitating!
This photo is a little better.
Here’s a gorgeous Blue Jay.
‘You lookin’ at me? 😉
If your family would enjoy a lovely tree that will attract several varieties of birds to your home, this would be a great option. For one more photo scroll the very bottom of my blog and you can glimpse part of the tree above morning glories.
What’s happening in your back yard?
