Garden delights
Lenten Rose:
I shoved a couple of planters in the garage over the winter season. Hauling it out, I found a flower in bloom. I set it out front hoping for the best.
It's too early to mow, really. No mow May, etc., but I had them take my tractor away for a tune up. I did a quick mow as they said it would be 3 weeks.
My sewing machine has an automatic threader. It is not working. I've been trying to figure it out. I think the little hook is bent, as it ought to go in the hole. It is so difficult to see it, I had to take a photo. Another project.
Nutmeg is such a cute cat. If I fits I sits! She is sitting on her cat bed, but certain humans threw their blankets on her chair.
An actual bullfrog in the frog pond.
Shoddy work at the pond, but the best we could do with the weasels, minks, and raccoons about:
Non-mental note: I moved a trail camera. I tend to lose them and wander around looking for them. Taking a photo puts it in my brain! This camera is on the big aspen trees Barry is fond of.

We drove to town to have Joe's artwork reframed. On the way, a meandering stream.
Afterwards, we had lunch in Perth.
Soon it will be patio season!
Note to our Premier: Bill McKibben on the solar energy boom: “Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz."
Nutmeg is such a cute cat. If I fits I sits! She is sitting on her cat bed, but certain humans threw their blankets on her chair.
This show how wee Nutmeg is, compared to her big brother, Cinnamon.
Barry has been... well, busy. He loves the aspen, and they've been coming down.

This is the little aspen grove I've been nursing. The previous owners used to mow it. I let it go natural.
I expect Barry will move on once he fells our trees! Good thing we have 16 acres.

Life in your world is lovely these days. I hope you show Joe's art when you get it back from the framer. And that hellebore is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat’s the patio by the river? Never stopped there.
ReplyDeleteThere always seems to be something to fix. Cinnamon is quite small in comparison.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot going on around your place. I purposely bought a dress for an occasion and wouldn't you know it, the very day I was going to wear it, it turned off cold. I had to go dig out something warmer. The game cameras are so useful for watching what all goes on around the house...
ReplyDeleteThank goodness sunlight has a direct route!!!
ReplyDeleteYou must have a fancy sewing machine to have an automatic threader.
ReplyDeleteBernie Sanders made a joke about the Strait of Hormuz. He said Wind and Solar would not be captured or detained in the Strait of Hormuz.
Your cats are ADORABLE.
So glad you have lots of woods for trail cams and Barry Beaver's taste. Love the candles. And goodness, Nutmeg is certainly a wee lass.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like beavers are cutting their next years food supply.
ReplyDeleteIt's so wonderful to live so close to nature.
ReplyDeleteI have a sewing machine, but I wish it had an automatic threader with my failing eye sight.
Love the flowers and your kitties. Take care, enjoy your day and the new week ahead.
