A back yard meander

As I write this we have strong thunderstorms moving into the area. The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch. A watch means that conditions are right for a tornado to develop. If one is confirmed they will issue a tornado warning and sirens will go off. And I will be wishing I had a basement!

But earlier this week we had one day with blue skies and sunshine and I went out to take some photos around the yard.

Many years ago I planted 150 daffodil bulbs around my yard and they reliably come up each spring to help me celebrate the end of winter.

And to finish the tour, one lone crow watching me take photos!

Thanks! Sirens just went off but I can see on weather radar that the tornado is east of me and not moving this way.

My first daffodil! We bought the house last fall and by the time we thought about planting bulbs it was almost too late. We planted about 50 bulbs - probably 12 daffodils and finally one of the daffodils has bloomed 🙂 We just planted some hosta this week. We will catch up with you in a few years lol Lovely spring pics. I hope the tornado watch passes without any dangerous storms🤞

The sirens went off, but I could see on the weather radar that the tornado was East of me and moving I the opposite direction. Whew.

Daffodils are about the only bulb I can plant that the deer won't eat. They find tulips like a heat seeking missel!

Glad to hear you are ok and the storms missed you 😅 We had my wife's young nieces over last night and they trampled the crocuses while looking at our lone daffodil 🤦‍♂️ I guess crocus season is over for this year lol

Squirrels are my nemesis, lol! I think they are cute and furry and really like them, but I have a gray squirrel who lives in a nearby tree and often, we have a race each August, to see who gets the English Walnuts off of my tree! He often wins!

Beautiful reminders of spring you have there. Thanks for sharing, and I hope the tornados passed you by. I used to live in tornado alley in the Cincinnati area, and it was not fun each spring. Take care @melinda010100 and have a lovely day! !LADY

I do most of gardening in pots on my deck and the squirrels often ruin my gardening efforts, but they are cute.

The warning sirens went off but the funnel cloud was 7 miles away. I haven't heard if there was much damage.

Oh shit. Do you have a tornado there? It's very bad, of course!

squirrels in the garden! No, I can't see that. There are no such number of squirrels in the forest. By the way, squirrels still have a winter color.

There was a tornado, and the warning sirens went off, but it was about 7 miles away. I haven't heard if it did much damage.

I have counted as many as 8 squirrels at one time in my garden. 😀

Do you have chipmunks in your garden? ;) A good friend of mine put a camera in his garden and showed a video when chipmunks and squirrels came running to his table to eat specially prepared food.

It's in the state of New Jersey
