The little, red squirrel has figured out how to distribute his weight so he doesn't close the hatch to the bird feeder.
Every bunny was kung fu fighting. This is the bunny that won.
You can see the bunny through the rain gauge. S/he lost the bout.
It is alive! Himself fixed the post lantern. As he suspected, it was a faulty outlet.
A herd of buttercups
I pruned the hydrangea bush and now Dido can welcome guests.
The tulips have been replaced with iris.
The mountain laurel blooms despite a blight on its leaves.
I transplanted the clover from out front. Some of it seems to have taken as there are a couple of flowers.
I planted a few scraggly morning glories in the lantern planter along with some variegated green leaf things that grow to the left of the front steps. They weren't looking too good.
Himself's tomato plant has a few flowers.
How does your garden grow?
what a lovely garden! oh, it's just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's getting there.
Deletegood morning, I love wildlife entertainment lol they are all so clever in their own ways. we had a deer by the feeder last night-we don't see they much during the summer time.
ReplyDeleteLoving those buttercups, love your light-we put up a neat one when we first came here and hubs never got it hooked up-sigh
enjoy the tour of your garden-hugs Kathy
I know we have deer, but I rarely get to see them. I hope the buttercups come back as the lawn guy mowed them over.
Deleteoh no that\s sad you think he would have asked first-sorry--we hired some friends to help us mow around the house-and they wacked off my milkweed plant that has been coming back for years-it even had stakes around it-sigh
DeleteWell, they were in the middle of the lawn. So I can't blame the lawn dude. And so the milkweeds don't get whacked this year, I put a garden border fence to make it obvious.
Deleteyeh I can understand the lawn people as they are just doing their job-
DeleteSmart squirrel! ha ha ha ... what a litte smart-a**, eh?
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of your garden. My grandmother used to have these little purple and yellow flowers which grew around her house. She used to call them jumping jacks?
Yeah, they are little smart ( ! )es. Those purple and yellow flowers are violas. Like little pansies. I know them as Johnny Jump Ups
DeleteOMG, you are right! I meant to say Johnny Jump Ups, NOT jumping jacks! It has been a long time since I actually saw one of these since then. Boy, is my face three shades of red ... ha ha ha !
DeleteNo worries. Flowers have different names depending on where you live. Those voilas could very well be called Jumping Jacks
Delete... I could be wrong, but the jumping jacks look a lot like what replaced your tulips except for the color on yours looks either a lighter color purple or a dark reddish color? ;)
ReplyDeleteI always thought they were some sort of iris. They are yellow and purple though the purple with the yellow looks brown as purple and yellow are opposites on the color wheel. Thought they must have been planted by the first owners of the house as they've always been here since we moved in 32 years ago
DeletePlease tell me the little bunny that lost didn't go the way of the faulty outlet. At least I know the answer to the cliff hanger from Friday.
ReplyDeleteThose are definitely irises in my world, too.
the little bunny was fine. Just wasn't allowed to eat the grass in front of Ink's garden while the bigger bunny was there.
DeleteYay! Himself IS a hero! :)
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking good. That squirrel is a clever one. Glad to see the lantern shining, it looks pretty. My balcony flowers all got beaten down by the storm and gallstones. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWell, if I had gallstones, I'd get beaten down, too. =^,.^=
DeleteIt is looking good and I bet those plants loved yesterday weather. My irises are blooming too but I like the colors of yours. Very pretty. And that is one smart bunny too. Hope it was a great Sunday. I am exhausted as I worked in the yard all day but it was a lot of fun. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWe had a busy Sunday with 2 events to attend.
DeleteOur Irises are long gone. The hydrangeas and daylilies are blooming.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that bunny. That had to have been a healthy hop:)
Sleep well.
My hydrangea is just starting to get leaves. The daylilies will be blooming soon.
DeleteYour garden looks so pretty! Glad hubby fixed the lantern - yay 😁. Your iris looks so beautiful, I love the colours and the frilly petals. I hope you had a wonderful weekend! J 😊 x
ReplyDeletep.s. sorry I'm almost visiting I've been spending time with family the last few days! J x
We used to have some white and purple iris, too, but some critter must have eaten them
DeleteEverything looking great CJ!!! Love that red squirrel! LOL! You have lots of bunnies! The lamp looks excellent! Yeh for your hubby! Hi Dido! LOL!
ReplyDeletethat little, red squirrel is such a rascal
