Gardening?


I have slowly gotten rid of some gardens
around the yard that tended to grow
more weeds than flowers....
and cause more work than they were worth.
This particular area should always be 
low maintenance....but fun.


(if you click on the picture, you can see things better)

At the left, you see my buckets.
I use them for all sorts of things,
and it's nice to know where they are when
I need them.
Do you spy a mouse?
The bird-bath was free
on FREE-CYCLE, years ago.
The yellow watering pot is full of rain-water.
See the blue truck?
The boys played with that truck
and I will keep it until
the wheels fall off.
James made me a couple of bird-feeders
from old purple posts and coffee pot parts.
Our first grand-son made the white bird-house.
There are a couple of old bird-cages, 
only good for yard art now....
and a pan of beautiful rocks.
There is a very healthy yellow
purse-lane flower growing in the middle
of a cinder block.
And.......
what are the oranges and limes for?
Target practice.

this and that

So, I get up this morning, and the rag-rug fairy tied all my rag-rug pieces together and had them wound in a nice ball.  I think I will leave more out tonight and see if it can happen again. OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived.
