Cattitude, Trees for a Curtain, Nuthatch, Friends, Plants and Giraffe
Good morning from
the front porch in Nunnelly!
Decided to sit out on the front
porch with my brew Wed. morning.
Was hoping to get the sunrise
but I did not make it.
Next time!
A couple months ago I
bought these trees for
the front yard as a curtain
from the road and front
of the house.
Got five in the ground thanks
to the auger bits I got for the
drill. Three more to go.
I really need at least two more
but Lowes is sold out.
That is okay though, I will
get some next season. That gap between
my yard and neighbors house
will not be noticed.
Not seen my slithering friend
anymore, knowing
that he is harmless makes
me feel better. The prob is, if
I see another one, I am not going
to get close enough to
see if its the same kind of
snake, to know if its
harmless!!
In the past week, I have
been visited by the snake,
yesterday a lizard,
the toad/frog (don't know
the difference) several times,
the Ruby Throated Hummingbird,
and a White Breasted
Nuthatch.
Never had a visit
from that type of
Hummingbird or a
Nuthatch.
So happy over seeing
different types of
birds. I can do without the
snakes though.
I saw this on FB.
I love it.
I truly believe it.
I have flowers blooming.
These plants were from seeds
I got when my friends mom
past away.
They bloomed last yr and
again this yr.
I finally finished off my
rock bed in the front yard.
I decided instead of
a flowerbed that I had to
weed on a regular
basis, I would lay thick
brown cardboard down, and
cover with rock then just
sit my posts in there.
Funny, rocks are not cheap!!
This area took 9 bags,
9 heavy bags!
I also, dropped some
good money on a clematis.
I loved the dark purple and
I needed something to
put up by my mailbox.
This should work just great.
In 2020 when kids were out
of school due to COVID,
there was a big thing going
around about putting stuffed
animals in your windows so
kids could look out and see
something to make them smile.
I was in the process of moving
to my childhood home and not
in one place since I was
working at one house and moving
into the other. With being out
and about so much, I decided
to place my stuffed animal on
the car to be seen.
Since then I have had
several animals on the car.
Of course, during the holidays, I
put one up that depicts the
holiday.
I had one of those long
arm monkeys on the
back until yesterday, and it
was looking worn for wear!
But I picked up this
cool giraffe at Goodwill.
He was even brand new
with the tag still on him.
I tried to find an animal
that was decked in
red, white and blue for
Memorial Day but could
not find one.
If I find something between
now and then, I will change
it out and apply this for later.
If not, this will stay on
till a holiday or
its worn out!
Kids love it.
day,
Pam

Your rock garden looks nice.
Clematis are lovely and purple is my favorite, also. I tried planting one decades ago but it didn't live long for some reason. ~sigh~ Good luck with the shrubs; you definitely got them for a good price. As for birds, nuthatches are among my favorites for the way they run up and down tree trunks searching for insects. Be well!
