New Yellow Flower of Mine
Today is a little bit of a mellowed out type of day. The night was quite freaky looking and it was affecting my humor. I do not like windy nights. It gets me all paranoid with regards to Tornadoes and that sort of nonsense. I have experience a couple of small ones in my life. The earliest one was when I was 6. The windows started rattling, and I started to fear for my own mortality. These are usually animal signs that there is a Tornado over your head. Night is the worse times for those windy monsters. At night,...
New Pink Flowers I Saw
A couple of days ago, I saw this pretty little flower in the garden. It is always interesting to see what naturally grows in the garden. I think it has something to do with the birds. They eat seeds and release them in all the time. This is a long winded way of explaining why mother does not park under the tree. Anyhow, I wanted to show you my latest find. I have been thinking of replanting it somewhere. The main issue is that I do not have a single available flower pot. Well, I do have one, but it...
Much Ado About Fences
Yesterday, we felt a little bit active and somewhat crazy around the edges. Around noon, brother and I went to home depot against to get more gardening stuff. We ended up getting some silly fences. The fences were designed to keep the leaves away from the flower bed. At least this was the general idea. We have been thinking of putting tiny fences for a while. Yesterday, we finally got to it. We installed all the pretty fences one hammer at a time. We ended up guessing how many we actually needed. We also bought some mulch to take care...
Much Ado About Caterpillars
Caterpillars are pretty common in the garden. At least, this is what I am inclined to think. I do see a tree in the neighbor’s garden that shows signs of feeding. I did get visited often by different types of butterflies and the like. I allowed two caterpillars to feed on a specific plant. I was going to wait for them to finish. The issue is that they did not show signs of completing. I then decided to just move the caterpillars. Well, my brother moved them. I did not like the thought of the plant dying for being fed...
My Yellow Rose Changed Color
The rains have been both good and bad for the front garden. I think I need a lot more mulch to deal with the grass problem. I am still a little bit peeved about it. I can see the grass there, growing, and growing. Bermuda grass is quite persistent. There is a lot of different grasses in the front garden. Anyhow, I wanted to show you my new rose. It is the same white rose, but it has a different color. The silly sticks gave it a slight red coloration. I do not know why they color the silly sticks...
