And I thought that would bring 'em flying in, but it took two weeks to get sparrows and it's not that often. So I'm scratching my head. Now when it comes to cheap bird feeders, I'll just say that the squirrels will probably have a field day if they can get to it. I usually spend a bit to get the ones that keep them out. Maybe yours does too.<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-66943084588115788032014-05-13T18:52:49.511-05:002014-05-13T18:52:49.511-05:00I got a kick out of reading the story about your h...I got a kick out of reading the story about your husband trying to "out garden" you! The nerve!! LOL. I would feel the same way if I started something before him and then he tried to take over. I gladly let my husband do the gardening though since he has a lawn business on the side anyway. My husband will be home more often in November when he retires from the fire dept. I'm sort of dreading the change too. He has worked there ever since we've been married. It will be weird to have him home every night.

I adore my husband, but he works from home, and before this job he was laid off for several years when the economy was so bad. Can I just say, sometimes a girl just wants her own project and nobody elses input on it? I know what you are going through! Lol. He's away this week on a business trip to California, I'll miss him, but I'm actually a little bit thrilled to have the place, and my schedule, to myself!Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-34419025785860732962014-05-12T11:39:06.240-05:002014-05-12T11:39:06.240-05:00wanted to let you know I just posted about the tar...wanted to let you know I just posted about the tart tins (tutorial) on my blog today! thanks for your interest in learning how to make these! xoxo, tracieFishtail Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490056923743934726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-37197779169192527762014-05-12T09:33:41.720-05:002014-05-12T09:33:41.720-05:00Love all your pretty spring flowers and those slee...Love all your pretty spring flowers and those sleepy pets and your description of gardening with your hubby made me LOL!<br />Have a great week!<br />Helen xox<br />Helen Philippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085327303967055337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-36057478497420833892014-05-12T08:55:21.886-05:002014-05-12T08:55:21.886-05:00Yeah for blooms and warm weather!!
