I love how tough calendula are! Once you have them growing in your garden, you can easily have them for years. Let some go to seed, them just toss the dried seeds on top of the soil and they are so hardy they will survive the coldest winter and sprout new plants in spring. They will grow in sun or shade, in wet or dry conditions. How perfect is that!?

Evening Song bird therapy
It was a beautiful evening and I decided to sit out on the balcony to enjoy the view of my garden. What a splendid idea that turned out to be!
The silence after the weekend warriors all left was wonderful and the bird activity was great to watch. The finches and chickadees flew back and forth between the feeder and the saskatoon branches. The robins danced around in the yard and went for a bath at the edge of our little pond. Even the hummingbird made an appearance and flitted around from flower to flower, actually sitting still at one point. I tried getting a photo of him, but he always seems to know and is off like a shot.
It was a magical time. :)
