Tadpoles, Flowers, Holly, and Bottle Cutting
Morning...
or at least it is
morning as I type out
this post!
That is not always a
given, sometimes I type
the day I post, sometimes
I do it a few days ahead
and of course, some days
not at all!
I read read https://islandmusingswithmarie.blogspot.com/blog this morning
about tadpoles and it
reminded me about something
in my life that would be
fun to post about!
~~~~~~
When my son was younger
I had a birdbath in the
backyard and one day
we had tadpoles in it.
Did not realize a frog
could jump that high but
then again he could have
just climbed in there.
I thought it would be fun
and a learning experience
to raise them into
frogs.
We caught them and put the
in a glass vase.
We had it all fixed up
and we fed them fish food.
We watched as they
grew tails and
legs. It was fun watching
them. They were placed
on the kitchen counter next
to the back door.
Sorry, I have no pics
to share for this story,
it was before cell phones.
Anyway, one day when my
son as at his dads I
was scrubbing the kitchen,
and I thought maybe it would be
good for them to get some
fresh air, not thinking
they were in glass!
They were tiny frogs at this
point. Poor babies, we
had tiny fried frogs then.
OOPS!
Okay, so I do have
a pic of the next
thing I am going to share!
You know, I am a picture
person.
Yesterday, I looked up
at the top of the driveway,
right in the grass and
saw some pretty purple
flowers.
Growing wild in my yard.
I was told on FB that these are
Batchelors Buttons.
Darla, my app for plants told
me they were cone flowers..
Wrong call.
The red flower is from my
begonia flower Amber got
me for Mothers Day. I clipped
this bloom and the Buttons
for the kitchen window. I will
dry the purple blooms for seeds
to plant next yr.
This is my niece Holly,
I used to post about her all
the time, years ago before I
had you folks reading my blog.
She had a bday on Monday.
She turned 29.
She was in drama when in school and
some plays in college. Loved going and
watching her. Wished she still did some
acting. Wow, these kids need to stop growing,
I am too OLD for all that
growing! lol.
I had some one tag me in
this pic on FB. Friends are always
tagging me on things that they
think I would want to make!
I actually saw these years ago and
bought a bottle cutter to do it,
yep, never did it.
Cutter is in storage!
Gotta get it out and get
some things done.
I still have mom's clothes
line poles to paint and put
up, each one has a place to
apply four lines.
I am going to put them up
and hang things like this on
one and birdfeeders on the
other. I am not hanging close
out anymore. My body
says, NO WAY!!
Come to think about it,
I might not even paint them...
might leave as is.
But prob not putting up
this yr.., still trying to figure
out the layout of what I
want to do back there.
Plus, I am thinking an above
ground pool for Amber to
care for! Yep, she knows,
she rents and can't put one up
so ....maybe here. We will see.
Do you have your yard laid
out the way you want it?
How long have you been
working on getting it the
way you want it?
Do you do a garden?
Food or flowers?

Never worried much about having my yard set up any special way. I have some flowers but not a lot. I don't really care much for gardening.
