The rhododendrons have been blooming for several days, but this morning our irises finally opened up. It has been warm for a few days, into the 80's. Everything is getting green. Some of the plants seem to be recovering from the late frosty weather, but a couple still haven't made up their minds about it yet. I hope they come back, especially the magnolias at the driveway entrance. We recently put up a new hummingbird feeder, and the birds discovered it within an hour or two. The hummingbirds also like the rhododendron bush as well. So far, I haven't been able to capture the hummingbirds on my camera.
The other day I was drinking my morning cup of coffee, and saw a raccoon on the bird feeder. Now I finally know why the birdseed disappears so fast. It wasn't the squirrels, they can't put away the food like a raccoon. Now I have to figure out how to prevent the raccoon from devouring the birdseed.

Good luck with that. Raccoons have opposable thums and they aren't afraid to use them.
Maybe I need to hire a couple of hit-possums who will break the thumbs of the fat raccoon....
