This plant came with my lot. I was upset because someone trying to be nice put mulch around my area. What that did was make sure that when the man came through to till, it would not be done. I didn't know that until it was too late because I hadn't been down to check on it. I was waiting to start, after it was tilled, we had already spread the compost evenly. One red wagon at a time pulled by Zoen. Jory and Hyia. All siblings. This garden is suppose to be all about them, and allowing them to learn from what I know and hopefully build on it if they want to. So I am glad i didn't say anything to the people that did that, or stay annoyed, we just stirred it up real good with every plant or seed we put in. And this happened. It would have been tilled under and i would never have known it was there. So pretty sunrise flower, welcome to Little Mexico. Be fruitful and multiply. I will take the very best care i can of you.
I put in my reptile rocks in hopes they will come, digging out a little channel for escape in case it is needed, and was pleased as punch to see the babies have hatched in the gourd and from the sounds of it, their is a healthy nestful of HUNGRY little worm eaters. It was wonderful to get my morning scolding from the rents, i went in and watered quickly than sat from a distance so they can get use to me. My mockingbird wasn't' around and he was missed. Maybe it will never happen that a mockingbird learns the first bit of LIsten to the Mockingbird but it is worth I think the experiment. If for no other reason than the way he looks at me and follows me from post to post. IF they can meow like a cat.........
The best lion pic i have had so far, i keep trying, it is hard to get the lion to show up at all. I don't know why, but they please me, and it is nice to know they are totally recycled because they came out of the trash from a garage sale up the street.
For our baby, we all do it, it seems so wrong to throw roses on the coffee grounds in the compost.
Bird watching from their favorite post. THe birds know they are leashed and have no worries. I really keep trying to get a pic of my Robin and Jr .He brings that baby right up to me like SEE just isn't he GRAND? and i tell him he is a fine baby. But let me reach for my camera, and their gone.
There would probably be no jr or Robin or Bob or skinks if those cats were allowed out off leash, or the ferals were encouraged to move along. I broke a rib chasing one cat out of here. Slipped in the mud. i am sure he was laughing all the way at me too.
I missed a pic of Bob sunning right beside a baby skink. Bob said he would not eat my skinks. I guess he is true to his word. Bob is AWFULLY FAT and i haven't seen one slug here or at LM
