Energetic Orange

Isn’t this interesting how this Angel’s Trumpet broke through the adjacent leaf?

Orange is such an energetic, “get you out of the chair and moving” color.

How did that leaf do that? You are so good about noticing the smallest details. That’s quite a gift.

Thanks for your comment about my forgetfulness. I’m off to make a list now…and tape it to my purse.

That is really neat. It is totally determined to grow. I thought when I saw the verbena you would talk about orange and purple. A favorite color combination for me.

Wow! Energetic indeed, Brenda … I might not sleep tonight Is that a bursting poppy? Expecting temps in low 80s the weekend … my garden will certainly get a jolt after the past frigid 4 days.

It is always amazing to watch growing plants push their way through anything that is in their way…Orange is energetic! It’s taken me a few seasons, but orange is now being added to the garden…it was so needed with all that purple I have! I have decided to stay away from the bluebirds…and you? gail

Is that last photo a poppy “popping” out of it’s covering? Mine are blooming like crazy now; Chili eats a few every day, hope he doesn’t start to hallucinate!

Good morning Brenda!

Your pictures are more and more amazing every time I visit you. I hope you’re framing some of these, because they are definitely frame worthy

Oh and I can’t resist baby birds either

xo,

Great closeups Brenda. Orange is definitely a “get you out of your chair kind of color”! It always reminds me of the bright blooms of summer.

What I’ve Been Up To July 1, 2009
For those of you wondering if I’ve fallen off the face of the earth, no I haven’t. But some of you may recall my fall backwards over some piles of deck lumber nearly five weeks ago. Well, the injury to my left foot has continued to keep me out of the garden. So I haven’t [...]
Unknown Tree Specimen June 24, 2009
I have a tree of some sort in this container that my neighbor gave to me. I don’t think it is a tree that normally grows in a yard. But one in a pot. In the house or not, I don’t know. Does anyone recognize this tree? Posted in Gardening & Nature [...]
Sago Palms & More On The Deck June 18, 2009
Sago Palm fronds in the early morning sunlight above. Robert has brought in some lattice to build something to hide all these meters on my neighbor’s wall and on mine across the way. Being on the corner, I have both stuck to my wall. He’s thinking of covering the brick except for the part of [...]
Adding To The Deck Thoughts June 16, 2009
Here is what Robert is working on now. Isn’t this adornment around the tree pretty? It will give the trees room to grow and a place for me to plant. Yes, Charlie Ross is sneaking a peak. I’m as surprised as anyone. I just let him build and see what’s going to happen next. [...]
Basic Deck Floor Finished June 11, 2009
Well, here’s the basic shape of the deck. Not quite finished. Not stained. But your get the idea. There’s Abi with sand from the electrical saw on her whiskers. And Clyde in the background. Poor Clyde has been being taunted of late by a group of mockingbirds. They better not hurt my handsome boy! One problem. [...]
Grueling Texas Sun June 9, 2009
What is truly lovelier? Pink petals… Or a man working? You guys know Robert. He’s hard at work with his whirring saws, creating the deck. Drinking coffee and then Mountain Dew. In the Texas sun that pounds you into ground beef fast. Causing chips in anyone’s supposed armor… Funny, how the hair-like parts of a flower… [...]
Crepe Myrtle Blooms June 7, 2009
The various crepe myrtle trees are blooming in my yard. So pretty against the bright blue sky. I am so intrigued by spider webs. I have no idea what this is blooming below. But found it interesting. Another sedum is blooming. I think the pets are enjoying the yet to be finished deck more than I am! Posted in Gardening [...]
Heat Is Here To Stay June 5, 2009
Good old faithful, Purslane. Rusted sculptured wind chimes hanging in a tree… I think the heat is here to stay. The plants are dry and thirsty by noon, despite the sprinklers having gone off before sun up. View from my front gate, the neighbor’s hydrangeas. I have to get me at least one of these lovely plants. The [...]
Deck Update June 3, 2009
Robert’s feet. Still muddling through the deck transformation. He finished with the drainage pipe upheaval and put new ones in. Here’s what he calls “yellow wood” which is supposed to stay nice longer. I’ve got to look that up to see what he’s referring to. This is the east side of my dining room French doors. Coming [...] […]
The Mess In My Yard May 31, 2009
I probably would have a deck to this neighbor’s wall right now. But we hit a snag. See her drainage pipe coming down her wall? Well, Robert dug down and found that the whole thing was crushed and broken. So that waylaid our plans. Don’t plans always have a way of getting messed up? Now [...]
