Some from this morning (Saturday)
This is the first picture I took this morning in my backyard... monster in training! :o) It was fun watching the fawn zip around the yard last night, she wouldn't stand still, so I was glad to get a picture this morning. Other than last night and this morning, I have only seen her and her momma for brief seconds going into the brush.
Garden shot of the madness - it is as jam packed as it looks. Sorry about the blue tinge, early morning lighting. Rev It Up in the middle, he orange is Primal Scream, the dark purple on the bottom is Ashwood Still Night, the dark purple to the right of RIU is Black Falcon Ritual, and the peachy on the very right is Flight Into Egypt.
Winter Treasure
Ivory Titan... some bugs have been chewing the heck out of some buds and flowers, as you can see on the petal of the lower flower
Towel of Babel - new last summer, third flower open and the first that was not splotchy
My beast of a clump of Coyote Moon (which I love)... long overdue for dividing, will be doing next month!
Two Sues
Self Determination, FFO today
Thanks for looking!

Comments (5)Well, don't stop painting to chat with me!! ha I wouldn't want to stand in the way of your creativity. :) I have been painting some more shelves, a toilet paper holder,and a bench, but those were just black and white so nothing to show. I got some futon pieces painted into pumpkins and put them outside to clear coat, forgot about them and it rained on them some. They have some spots where the clear coat turned white so have to try to fix those. I've been working on this dairy sign for my kitchen. Bought it for $8 at the TS and it was a horrid green color and looked like it had been left out in the cow field for a year it was that dirty. ha Trying to clean it up and paint it to match my kitchen. It's fairly big so taking a little time. And I hope to get started on a Christmas box I'm giving for a gift this year tomorrow. Gingerbread I think. Sal just commented on my witch and I remembered that I wanted to get the Frankie and Scarecrow cut out to go with her, but I don't think I'm gonna have any time this year. DH just cut out some 4x4 pieces for me to make some pumpkins for my front stoop. I've just got to paint those orange and find some sticks and part of my grape vine for the stems. I haven't been here too much lately and I've got a lot going on this week and next. We've got a family picture Sat and I've got to go find DH and me some shirts to match the outfits I've got the kids. DD's b-day sleepover is Fri-Sat so got to go buy a bunch of food for six 13 yr old girls (you know how much these teenagers can eat!!) and get it ready for Friday and decorate for that. We are remodeling our main bathroom so I've got the tile guy coming Monday and he and DH are gonna start tearing that out. The next weekend I have my B & SiL coming to stay for a week and as soon as they leave it will be Halloween so I need to go ahead and get the kids costumes. I just got the house decorated for Halloween tonight. I didn't put out the tiny stuff that I usually do so it didn't take as long. I'm not used to all this mayhem so I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. ha Anyway, that's my life right now. Oh and we've been having a saga with my 2nd graders teacher. He had an accident at school because she wouldn't let him go to the bathroom and then she made him stand in the corner for the rest of the day and didn't let him call home. I want to move him to another class, but DH and the principal are trying to work something out to keep him in there. Urg!! So anyway, I look forward to seeing your fun stuff. I know it will be fun because you always do cute things. I don't blame you for doing the cute stuff for GD. I like the cute stuff myself. ha So you just keep on a painting til you get it all out of your system again for a while. ha It kinda goes in spurts doesn't it?? Thanksgiving and Christmas are sneaking in so you know there will be plenty more painting opportunities there. ;) ~Anj...See MoreSome macro shoots of Variegated jades from Saturday morning
Comments (20)Martin, my fertilizer is russian know-how ))) It's an infusion of banana peel. It is good suitable for tropical plants in Siberia. It contains very little nitrogen and iron, and sufficient calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. Nitrogen excess can lead to variegation loss. Your chinese ovata may be 'Lutea'. My 'Lutea' are from China too. I think 'Lutea' can turn into 'Alba' in full sun. Light fragments of 'Lutea' become more light yellow under LEDs. While the shoot 7 on my pic remains light green under linear fluorescent lamp. Hi, Ben! What do think about them now? Oksana....See MoreSome from Saturday
Comments (18)I'm a Simplicty in Motion fan too. That nice clump shot makes it even more lovely. All American Chief is really nice, that goes for Tall Dark Stranger too. I have had some blooms partially open in the afternoon, usually that means the bloom isn't going to be it's best. Sherry...See MoreLaura twixanddud - SE MI - 5b

7 years agoIt's just a 'fence' put up surrounding my daylilies, it and the deck surround them. It's stakes and wildlife netting. Here is a picture I just took, the first stake is right behind the pot of petunias. Don't laugh! :o) It's not exactly pretty, but it has been effective so far. My husband and I put it up a 2-3 years ago. The deer have not busted through yet.

7 years agoThank you Debra, Nancy, Nancy, Maryl and Sherry. Regarding the deer, we have two dogs, but they are only outside when I am and they go out on tie outs. There are way too many critters around they might chase after, plus there are coyotes around and I sure wouldn't want anything to happen to my pups. So, the deer are accustomed to the dogs being out and near the house, but it doesn't keep the deer away when the dogs aren't out there. There used to be a lot more deer, but since the coyotes have been in the area for the past couple of years, there don't seem to be as many deer.
Maryl, Ashwood Still Night grows well here... it's supposed to be a rebloomer, but I don't think it has rebloomed for me. It is a nice dark purple. I think I've had it since 2012, it is a pretty big clump now and needs to be divided. The flowers are one of the purples that can take on a grayish/frosted look on cold mornings. The flowers seem to hold up well in the heat and hold their color pretty well here, but I don't think we get as much heat or for as long as you do. Here is a pic from yesterday of one of the scapes on the outside of the clump.
