How Does Your Garden Grow?



We had a couple of visitors to the yard, a deer


and a hawk. The hawk was probably a Cooper's hawk as we've seen him/her from time to time.


This picture of Quill could work as a cartoon with the bunny in a thought bubble. Quill dreaming of bunny rabbits. Or the rabbit blissfully unaware how close to death s/he is.


A Monarch butterfly hung out for a while

How does your garden grow?

  2. Your garden has been a busy place this past week. I can picture that word bubble over Quill too. :) Nice visitors too. I hope you're having a lovely weekend. Today doesn't look quite as nice as yesterday, at least so far.

    1. I think the clouds just have to burn off a little. Today was supposed to be one of the better days of the week.

  3. That rabbit should be counting its lucky blessings.

  4. i too can picture that word bubble ...lol We've had alot of lizards in the yard lately...all sizes... with 5 lines down their back.. AND a ground squirrel digging holes all over the yard.. I haven't seen any horny toads for a couple weeks.. The ants disappeared too.. I think they wandered into a neighbors yard and got poisoned.. Ants go... horny toads go... sad i was really enjoying them.. Nothing i can do though if the ants won't stay in the yard... I let them live in the back of the yard away from the house.. Love your deer and hawk... Is that a Monarch?? Hugs! deb

    1. No, the deer was content to nibble the grass and weeds up by the woods -CJ

    1. Quill can be cute and cuddly though he doesn’t like to be held. He’s big and not a lap kitty. He is sometimes jealous of Calli. - CJ
