Tulips
A few tulips in the garden.
The Cow
Long story short… a cow ended up in our front yard yesterday.
Sun Peeking Out Between Rains
Leaf Play
Sharing Plants With The Neighbors
Although not intentionally. We didn’t plant any of these Marigolds. They are all from seeds that spread from the neighbors flower beds. I believe they’ve received Zinnias, and Daisies from us.
Humming Bird Moth
Today In The Garden
Out of the 2 tomatoes and 1 pepper we planted, this one grape tomato plant is the only vegetable that survived. And just barely. What few small tomatoes we picked did taste good.
Painted Lady(?) on Zinnia. I swear butteries are hard to identify.
Box Fan Blade Sunflower
I made this Sunflower pinwheel out of the plastic blade from a broken box fan, a bicycle pedal, a steel rod and scrap of plywood. The fan/flower is just pressed on to the bolt/axle of the bicycle pedal which is connected to the rod. The flower spins when the wind is the right direction. I should have taken the time to make the flower pivot on the rod also but didn’t. Maybe sometime I will. The leaves are one piece cut out of thin plywood and attached to the rod with zip-ties.
Moss Rose
The Moss Rose in the little cistern containers are doing really well despite neglect and this summers extreme heat.
