SPROUTS ANYONE ???

SPRING FLOWERS ???

I tried planting a few (900) flowers. Most of them are my Mother's old flower seeds, some from the 1950's. I am planting them to see if the seed is still good. Some are flowers I would like to plant in about 6 weeks. I don't know if they will grow, I will let you know. I am growing them without lights, and without heat. I am hoping for the best.

The sound they make when they fly is amazing.

SNOW GEESE

These are pictures of Snow Geese that my friend Barbara took. They are migrating north, and stopped by American Falls to eat for a few days before heading to Mud Lake. They will end up in the Arctic. The round trip for some is more than 5000 miles, and they can fly at speeds of up to 50 MPH.
