Me and My Hubby's Shadows

So mundane - our daily walks, 

and yet, 

they can be filled with

the most profound conversations.

T'is the Season For..

False Purple Thistles!

Seriously, they are called FALSE Purple Thistles! Not to be mistaken for the ACTUAL REAL Purple Thistles.

Bougainvilleas remind me of My Mom

When I was in my Teen Years, my mom had about a dozen different colored Bougainvillea plants on display at the front of the house. 

They were planted in these very ornate Chinese Planters, and they were her pride and joy.

Every time I look at ours, I think of her and how she cared for the ones we had back home, and how it helps me feel just a little bit closer to her.

She is actually quite beautiful.

Ugh.

This Post Needed to be in Black and White

I was neatening up some things outside in the Wilderness of Our Country Home, and came across a box that had Rat Remains in it.

You know you are a blogger when you take a photo of the said remains first before dumping them. 

Air Rooting Trials

The hubs is trying to air root some of Grandad's figs. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I Spy with My Little Eye

 A Gray Brown Praying Mantis!

I hope you are eating up other Non-useful and Harmful Insects!

Take a Look at all That Freshness

Giving our tomato harvest a quick rinse...

A Rare Glimpse

Hello World,

Massacre in the Morning

Them cats keep rodents at bay, but do pose a hazard to the local bird-life.
