Believing In Happiness

Garden Poem of the Day

Trees
By C.H. Bolton

Trees are joy inspiring in those first sweet days of May 
Stretching forth their lacy tendrils to entice the lark to stay.
Trees are gracious, charming when glossed with summer sheen 
They catch the vagrant breezes and spread their shady green. . 
And somehow in the Autumn when the magic touch of time
Has clad these trees in russet-gold, we sense a hand divine.
Yet Trees in winter fascinate when their gaunt, nude forms arise 
And trace in grotesque patterns, 
Silhouettes against the skies.

Gardener's Quote of the Day

"You have to believe in happiness, or happiness never comes... Ah, that's the reason a bird can sing -- on his darkest day, he believes in spring."

Some fun facts about hummingbirds! 😊 . 🐦 They are the smallest migrating bird. They don't migrate in flocks like other species, and they typically travel alone for up to 500 miles at a time. . 🐦 The name "hummingbird" comes from the humming noise their wings make as they beat so fast. . 🐦 They are the only birds that can fly backwards. . 🐦 Their tiny legs are only used for perching and moving sideways while perched. They can't walk or hop. . 🐦 A flock of hummingbirds can be referred to as a bouquet, a glittering, a hover, a shimmer, or a tune. . Source: kaytee.com/learn-care/wild-bird/hummingbird-facts .
