The butterfly garden pays off; big time.

It’s “ctrl+alt+pet me”.

Loving this!

Finally! Rain is falling!

Z and T love to drink the nectar from the honeysuckle that’s growing along our fence.

Armenien Cukes are finally picking up since hubby cut back some leaves from the big oak tree that were blocking out the sun too much. They’re almost big enough to reach the trellis now.

A huge old console television, acquired for $4 at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, gets repurposed as a sweet dog bed. Well done.

To DIY, see Fried Okra blog.

Reminds me of this computer monitor turned into a smaller pet bed.

Finally, TV worth watching!

Kickin’ it old skool at the Galaxy Drive In Theater for family fun night!

I tried to grow garden beans last year, but they petered out pretty quickly. Apparently they reseeded themselves, because I found these growing a few days ago. I put up a small trellis, and propped them up. Hopefully, they’ll make it this year!

I’m really in love with this arrangement I put together to liven up an empty space near the gate. I used 2 different varieties of sweet potato vine with “double lemon” calibrachoa and “laguna white” lobelia. So pretty!
