THE TINY FRUITS ARE GROWING AT KATES CABIN

Hi Everybody!!
Today, we will take a little nature walk to get an update on the tiny fruits growing here on the grounds at Kates Cabin. Remember all the pretty spring flowers? The bees pollinated the flowers and tiny fruits formed. Now they are growing big due to all the rain of spring. The drought in Texas has ended! I encourage all of you to grow some fruits. Some things you can grow in containers, if you have no yard space. A daily connection to the growing fruits will enhance your life, and, you get to eat the sweet rewards! Enjoy!

The Little King wants to show you the baby fruits!

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO JOIN US FOR A MEAL OF SUNFLOWER SEEDS!

Hi Everybody!!
You are just in time for a little snack of sunflower seeds at the seed feeder! Just a reminder to hang a bird feeder or scatter seed for the birds who are in various stages of the Spring Migration. These cardinals and squirrels are the 'Official Welcoming Committee' for the bird sanctuary. When the migrants see the bright red flag of feathers, they are likely to make a stop over for a snack, so keep your local backyard birds happy! Also, shared below are more pear blossoms My spring has been on hold for a week of cloudy, rainy weather. Waiting for the Sun! Enjoy!
