Here I am!

I wonder if anyone missed me? I haven't blogged in a few days--been spending too much time in the yard & garden, I guess! The hot weather will be here soon enough so I won't be out there so much then...but for now I am enjoying it. My husband was reading a gardening book tonight and I kept thinking of a few last things I wanted to plant. Its supposed to rain tonight so I thought it was a good time. It was almost dark, but I managed to plant some pumpkins, nasturiums, scarlet runner beans and a hill of cantaloupe. I could barely see by the time I came in. Now maybe it will rain on  them tonight to get them started!  Things are really starting to grow and even I'm beginning to see some veggies on a few things! I'm a little worried about the raccoons though--I had the bright idea to put up a couple of scarecrows and put some of those Halloween things that make a noise when something moves....I wonder if that will work? That's my next garden project--I wish I could see their reactions to it. I'll bet it doesn't take them long to figure out what's going on, so I won't put those out until I actually have something for them to steal....

I went out to the garden this morning and right beside the pond was a bird and in the tree next to it was a squirrel in the tree. And of course there were a couple of cats hanging around too. I can't wait for some frogs to move in....tomorrow I'm going to Huntsville with Momma and will get a few goldfish on the way home. I just hope the raccoons or the cats don't get them out of the pond.

Here's a picture of the birdbath in front of my studio--I love how it looks when all the flowers start to fill in. I wish I could take the credit for it but it was like that before I bought it. I used to admire it when I went to visit Daisy. We'd sit on the front porch in her rockers and Dusty would lie in the birdbath. I always thought it would make a pretty picture--I haven't caught Dusty in there when I have my camera though.

I haven't been in the mood to take pictures much lately, but I got the urge today. Of course Sweet Pea was ready to pose, as usual! I took a video of him and the other cats yesterday and he loved watching it--I showed it to him on the camera and he kept peeking around it. It seemed like he was really interested when he was on the screen, but I'm sure that was just my wild imagination! ha!

I followed Pumpkin around trying to get a good picture to show y'all his gorgeous blue eyes. It was hard but I finally got a good one!

I guess I better rest up for my shopping day tomorrow--I promise not to wait so long before I come back next time!!
