My new cobalt blue birdbath came via Fed Ex last night. Isn’t it striking? I ordered it from Birdbaths.com.
It has been a stunningly beautiful day. Shorts and T-shirt weather. After the freezes we’ve been having all week. My neighbor Walli and I drove out to Purple Pig for some barbecue for lunch. (more…)

I find the red tips of the Hen & Chicks so fascinating. Like a pen that’s been dipped in ink. (more…)

Hello!!!
He/she is here in the gutter outside my French doors in the dining room. The photo above just makes me howl. What an expression on that face! As if to say: “Who the hell are you? And what are you staring at?” (more…)

Yes, I think I like the mornings best. The smell of coffee. Fresh fruit. Walking outside to see what’s new. (more…)

Don’t think I’ll be sitting out here warming my face today.

A random leaf in the garden pond.
A hungry male cardinal…
For those of you who gently reminded me that I posted a photo of hyacinths yesterday that I referred to as tulips, I thank you for setting me straight. I feel certain I planted tulips there in that same spot last year. But maybe they didn’t come back up. Or maybe I’m losing what’s left of my foolish mind. I’m famous for planting things and forgetting what I planted where. I don’t seem to have sense enough to write anything down in my haste to get things in the ground. So feel free to tell me when I have one of these lapses and am incorrect, as I’m sure it won’t be the last time! (more…)

It is an overcast day. Quiet and peaceful. My neighbor Walli gave me the plant below yesterday. Does anyone know what it’s called? She said it was not a sun plant. (more…)

Yep, this is me and Nola of Alamo North. She finally got to visit today! We were both as excited as young girls who’ve been longtime pen pals. Remember pen pals? WAY before the internet! (more…)

The other day Robert found some black mold in one of the garden room walls, so I left for awhile because of all the respiratory problems I’ve had during the past year of remodeling. When in doubt, I usually go to Tyler’s only chain bookstore, Barnes & Noble, just a mile or so down the highway from me. I love to be amongst books. (more…)
