Today I saw my first Blue Jay of the season.
There have been two or three squirrels foraging on the ground below the feeder. I expect that before too long one of the more enterprising among them will figure out how to beat the anti-squirrel feature and begin eating directly from the feeder. That's OK. It's entertainment.
I'm going to plant some Lantana and a Milkweed Butterfly Bush to try to bring in some butterflies and hummingbirds.
Bringing the yard to life with wildlife that I love to watch.
Tranquility.

Carl, glad to hear you're feeling better.
We just sold our house in New Tampa.
We planted bottlebrush and they also attracted
a lot of butterflies and birds.
