East Boston Parrots

UPDATE ON JULY 2, 2011

The parrots have not been heard from or seen in probably 3 weeks.  Our area has 2 large hawks that have taken up residence near the park.  I fear the hawks may have caught the parrots.  Their nest is falling apart.  This saddens me!  If you are from East Boston and have seen or heard the parrots, please do reply to this post or email me.

Remember I told you last week about the Parrots in the Park. Diane managed to get some pictures of them at the Garden today.  The day was very overcast at the time, but here they are.  As far as we know, there are 3 of them now.  In case anyone doubts the story, just look at the last picture with all the Boston Higway signs.  :)  If you click on the pictures, either once or twice, the picture will enlarge and you can see the parrots much better.




Dwarf Asters

I had never heard about these flowers, but when we saw them at Home Depot, they were standing up and liking the cooler weather.  We read the stick in them and it says they bloom from early Spring until Late Fall.  They look like keepers to me.


More Daffodils at the Park

Today was a dreary, overcast day, but take a look at these pictures, will make you feel like smiling

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Nothing new to report from the Garden today, it rained earlier in the day and I spent my day relaxing and dreaming about what I'm going to plant this year.
