It was sunny when I got home, but I had to go trim the honeysuckle on E’s side of the fence, and it had clouded over by the time I’d finished and could wander around, looking at flowers. Still, flowers are pretty even without the sun! I will never not take pictures of Canadian Columbine. […]
Bee Logic: Medium-sized bee house properly positioned 6′ high on a tree that gets morning sun, and has plenty of damp clay soil beneath. Bees–“Nah.” Small bee house sitting on a chunk of concrete in the most-travelled area of a covered patio, gets morning sun eventually, no soil really close by, and 8″ from human […]
I finally got around to cleaning out the south side flowerbed, but didn’t bother to take a picture because I was too tired, and also because it looks like shit ATM, and will until I find my box of seeds, and the flowers grow in (and that goddamned hairy bittercress dies off). Anyway, the weekend […]
I thought that when it turned cold last weekend, Roxy would go back to her winter burrow, but she had other plans. I think she knew that it wouldn’t stay cold for long because I found her…in the spiky balls and leaves beneath one of the holly bushes by the patio! She didn’t dig far […]
Old Faithful, my vintage 2001 Walmart Yard-Man lawnmower died at the end of last season. I think it’s just the pull cord again, but when I looked in Amazon’s deals section earlier this week, I noticed a battery operated lawnmower that was on sale for $269 with one 4.0AH and one 2.0AH battery, and I […]
P got home on Friday, and asked me whether I’d seen my friend. I thought he was talking about a bird, or a bee (or a flower, or a tree…hee!), but he told me to go look. On the patio beside Ravon was…ROXY! Dirty, and kept her eyes shut, probably because she was still groggy, […]
Actually, the whole bee, and plenty of them! As I sat on the patio off and on last weekend, I’d see little bees flying around. I paid little attention at first because it’s spring, and I’m not afraid of buzzy things, but when it seemed they were magnetically attracted to my chair, I looked more […]
These are over a period of days because I’m very lazy. 04-02-19 Hyacinth. Pretty, and one of the few survivors. The old lady’s tulips bloomed, at least one type did. The ones with the darker leaves are just leaves again. I’ve often thought about moving them, but I think I’ll leave these ones where they […]
Perhaps especially so when you’re very lazy about uploading new images! Hopefully, I’ll get these in order, but… 😀 Mini daffs in full bloom. 03-24-19 Buds on the big daffs. 03-24-19 As usual, the old lady’s one purple hyacinth is first in bloom. My poor hyacinths aren’t doing terribly well, but most are still alive […]
