Our Monday started off on a high note! On the way to the coop we noticed our Passion Vine had developed instars. It is a host plant for Gulf...
I knew it, I knew it! You ARE cute!
Wonderful news for you and your family! We are having a regular "frog strangler" of a storm, so no outside work today except to feed the hens....
Anniekay, "you are what you eat" also applies to flamingos. A nearby zoo feeds shrimp to their flamingos to keep them pink. If they don't, the...
Anniekay, we rarely have those ducks, but one day on the way to the barn I saw two, perched on the roof of the shed. [ATTACH] Your photo is...
Sjoerd, no scent, but the chaste tree does come in pink and white ones, in addition to the blue. Pacnorwest, I had no idea there were other...
Our chaste tree is in full bloom. It is a vitex actually, but more on its common name later. [ATTACH] It is an actual tree, not a shrub. Now,...
Those snakes are lovely! I'll tell Ratso (yes, we named him) to up his game.
We have a variety of wildlife visit our garden, most of which you don't have to worry about stepping on. This Western rat snake has been hanging...
It is a great Sunday! Timi the cat had been missing for three days, and we were trying to resign ourselves to the fact that she was gone. This...

Mow, mow, mow your grass, life is but a dream (to the tune of Row, row, row your boat). We've been blessed with rain and the grass has...
Oh my, you must have a green thumb all the way up to your elbow, Anniekay! You also have a great eye for garden arrangement/composition. Please...
[ATTACH] This Passion Flower vine is in full bloom! We have two on trellises, and are transplanting one to the front fence. It is a host plant...
Congratulations, and thank you for sharing that lovely photo of a beautiful flower with us all!
Some days I just stay at home. It's too "peopley" out there!
Shawchert, I sympathize with you! My husband's niece never shuts up. She is completely self-centered and silly to boot. The only time she isn't...
Update on the hummingbirds: we have had two, or perhaps three (they all look alike!) daily. [ATTACH] At least we are getting accustomed to the...
Good Tuesday to everyone! The saga of the HVAC installation has finally ended. A part was missing, and had to be ordered. It was to be in last...
We usually get hummingbirds earlier, but the weather has been wild and perhaps their migration paths have changed. We were thrilled to see a...
