OK, normally I limit pictures in the Garden Log to animals actually seen in our backyard…but today’s an exception. I didn’t actually see the eagle today, but Rich and I both heard him several times throughout the weekend. An eagle! Cool! (But no goldfinches yet…I may have heard one yesterday, though…)

Update Nov 22 – Rich saw the eagles – yes, plural, two eagles!! – hanging out by the retention pond outside the back gate to the community.
The skies were really cloudy for the shuttle launch last night, but the shuttle did peek out from behind the clouds for a split second and I got a single shot. It’s always amazing to see the fiery sky with the night launches.

Today I went to visit mis papitos and we saw their Red-Bellied Woodpecker for the first time in months. Yay! Visit Missy’s Diner for more info (and remember, Missy is the hostess at her diner, not a customer…she spends hours in the window, watching her guests, making sure that everybody is well fed!)
‘Honey Perfume’ likes the cooler weather. What it doesn’t know is that it’s about to be transplanted…we dug the grass today, and prepared the soil in the bed…
