Walk Around the Yard Today

Good afternoon. 

Dakota and I went out to

do a walk around the yard.

I do this to see what is 

going on with my plants!

I love this shot of my creek.

Interesting. 

This is my garden on the 

side of the shed. 

This is my hummingbird,

made by a local 

metal artist, Major

Hall. He does the

most a amazing work.

My Hosta is doing great. 

Been in this spot for 25 years.

I usually thin it out and 

give some a way. 

I took up painting rocks a 

couple years ago and 

saw this somewhere so 

I had to make one for my

garden.  

This is the bank along the 

creek. For years I tried

to get ivy growing there.

I would plant and baby

it and it would not 

take. So a couple of 

years ago I throw some out

to get rid of it and it takes....

Just so you know, this is my driveway...

see how dangerous a missed step

can be if you are getting

out of the passenger side and I 

don't park way over to the 

other side. 

I have this hanging on the shed.

Broken plate....yep it

adds interest to the flower bed.

Hoping my vine grows and 

makes its way up the baby

bed springs. Yep, I 

use that as a trellis. 

My best friend gave me these

last year. Glad to see them

came back.

Thought I lost this but so glad to 

see that I did not. It is

Lemon Sage. You can use

this for cooking. It also smells

like lemon pledge.

Saw a wasp going in the birdhouse 

in the garden but that is not

what I really want in there...

I want birds!!

 

Corner of my shed. The colorful

glass ball I picked up at 

Goodwill.

It is turned upside down.

It used to be one of those 

things you buy and 

put water in, stick it in the 

plant and it waters it when it

needs it. That long part that 

goes in the dirt of the plant

was broken off so I just

sat it down in a metal

candle holder. 

My fav piece.

I welded this, it is my Wild Flower

art!

Picked this up at Goodwill a 

few years ago. I had a 

solar light in there to 

have it glowing on the 

garden but one of 

how many storms lately

took it out. I will have to 

replace that.

Thanks to the man up the 

street from my mom 

I now have red canon lilies.

I had some for years but a 

couple of years ago I lost

them. Glad I was able

to replace them. 

And the sun shines on the garden.

This is the condo I hung last week.

I saw birds flying around it

yesterday and I was

hoping that they were

moving in but I looked

today and there is no 

sign of renters yet. 

House Leeks - no clue the

real name. Growing along

the side of my tree.

Got this at Goodwill 

also. Its a metal 

ant so I hung

it to the tree in the

front yard. Today

I looked and it looked

like the ant was eating 

some plants! lol

A couple of years ago I 

started picking up a rock

whenever I traveled. 

I thought that by painting on 

them and sealing them, 

I could put them in 

my garden and each

time I go out there I 

remember my trip.

The UT Knoxville I picked up

outside of my nieces

apartment when I went 

up to visit. 

La Mesa I picked up right 

outside of my son's house.

Del Mar I picked up on the beach

when my son, daughter in law 

and I were staying in a condo on

Del Mar beach in Calif. 

It adds color to my garden 

and 

memories.

Glad Dakota and I walked

the yard when we did.

Winds are picking up.

Storms coming in.

Take care and thanks

for stopping in,
