Pussytoes, Bleeding Hearts

I read in a blog post about Pussytoes! Seriously! We have this all over our 'lawn!'




Bleeding heart


Lilacs! Only thing, this morning it is only 3 ℃ and it's rather cold to be sitting outdoors.

My basket is doing well. Snuggled by the house, I guess. 



The goldfish pond is full, again. It's just too cold to put out the fishies, though.

Last week we drove to the city for Mother's Day. I was reminded of this image from last September. I knew it was an overpass.

Dwyer Hill Training Centre (Ottawa Citizen, 2023)

This is a top secret training centre. Apparently, they need more facilities. To the tune of $1.4 billion! There is some controversy, as the centre was going to move to Trenton. Not any more!
Defence Minister Anita Anand announced Tuesday the initiative to construct 23 new buildings at the Dwyer Hill Training Centre or DHTC. The centre is home to the Canadian Forces special forces unit Joint Task Force 2.




Both #75 the squirrel, and Fred and her 2 kits are doing well. #75 doesn't seem inclined to move on at all. I don't blame him, it's been cold! He's been here a week, and has moved up and down his tree. I think the hay in his nest box is nice and cozy.

He gets a cup of seeds every morning! (Not by me!)

#75 watches Joe as he brings the seeds.

I'm trying to figure out what he is doing here. Fungus? Lichen? 


Fred is very vigilant! The kits haven't ventured very far from the burrow entrance. 

Phoebe's eggs should hatch the next week. They are keeping the 5 wee eggs warm!
