About Me
- Diane
- My name is Diane and this blog is a journal of my life in Southwest Michigan. My wonderful husband and I lived in South Texas for more than 30 years. In the summer of 2010, we decided we were done with the unbearably long, hot Texas summers. To make a long story short, we bought a beautiful lot on a private lake in rural Southwest Michigan and built our retirement home. My husband has lots of family in this area and my brother and his family live in the central part of the state. Michigan seemed like the logical place to build. For now, we spend spring, summer and fall in Michigan and return to Texas for the winter. And we love it. I grew up in Massachusetts and have realized that I truly am a Northern girl at heart. I love the lakes and woods, cool nights and seasons. This blog is our journey and our life "up North." It is also a continuation of my Texas blog: www.dianestexasgarden.blogspot.com

Yes, a very handsome bird. Do they have different plumage in Winter, do you know?
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a tangier before. What a beautiful creature.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just feel so honored when a beautiful creature comes to visit your yard :-) It's the little things in life that are so exciting!
ReplyDeleteI've seen Scarlet Tanagers but I think Summer Tanagers are out of our range. What a beauty! I agree, we are so blessed by the beautiful flora and fauna around us. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHi Mark...Yes, I believe their plumage is more greenish in the winter. The males still have a red undertone, but not as bright.
ReplyDeleteYes, Donna...the tanager is one of the prettiest birds that visits us in the summer.
You are dead on Toni...the little things are what make life grand!
Beth, I bet the Scarlet Tanagers are beautiful too. We are about to build a summer home in Michigan and I'm looking forward to getting to know the birds in YOUR neck of the woods!
