Hello Friends!
I hope all the incredible Fathers had a special weekend! Sweet Man had a restful day.
But earlier in the week it wasn’t quite as restful for us. It all started out with WiFi issues and then the electricity went out! Long story short we had to get our outdoor box replaced along with a brand new indoor panel. Everything was old so it had to go.
I’m grateful for our amazing friends-thanks to them, we didn’t lose any food. The two days without power were challenging, but we managed. The WiFi issues likely stemmed from the electricity problems, so we’ll keep an eye on that. All our electric problems are behind us now.
Too Much Rain
Because of the abundance of rain, all of our Zinnia seeds have drowned. I am disappointed, but these are the woes of gardening. I do see some sunflower seeds coming up, so I am hopeful for them!
The lupines are still growing nicely. They must love the rain.
The flower beds are slowly starting to bloom. It looks like we’re about a week or two behind where we were last year. It’s due to all the rain, lack of sunshine, and the harsh winter. I’ll be cutting bouquets soon. I can always depend on the tiger lilies and lemon lilies to be the first to bloom along with feverfew and loosestrife.

A Feathered Friend
We have been lucky to have this large Pileated Woodpecker at our feeder a few times. It’s the first time we have seen one, and it’s been fun to be on the lookout for him. He brings back memories of the childhood cartoon Woody the Woodpecker. If you are my age or older you most likely remember Woody!
Thank You
As the title suggests, this is short and sweet. I admit the recent electrical issues left me feeling quite frazzled, but l’m relieved to say that those challenges are now behind us. Thank you for taking the time to read another edition of Tuesday Tidbits. It’s always great to have you here. Enjoy the rest of your week.
