Early Summertime in Tennessee

My garden grows well. The little finches are eating the wild flower seed in the front yard, daily. They love the seeds from the yellow coreopsis that has just finished blooming. The daisies have been very nice, and one morning I was in the kitchen and kept hearing a strange small sound from the back porch. When I looked out, a little nuthatch was hard at work pulling the wool from some shoes I had left out to dry! I feel honored she/he choose a part of my shoe to line the nest!
