Growing and Learning

I am hopefully doing both.  My patio garden is always a work in progress, some years more successful than others, depending on how much time, money and effort I can apply to it.  I feel that I'm having some good progress out there, although there's a few plants, including my fuschia and jasmine I am waiting to see results on.  I am also learning to manipulate this blog.  I made a nice header for it, I don't if I did it how others do, but there it is.  I am looking forward to learning more about how to share and link and join in with the wonderful people I have been following in blogland.  I am also looking forward to sharing more of my patio and home with everyone.

I had tried to take a quick photo of the little hummingbid who visits my feeder without opening the screen door wide enough to scare him away.  Too bad I didn't have the camera on zoom, he's there  but not very easy to find.

Deer in the Garden

I have a charming new piece of yard art I found for my back patio. It's a lovely deer. I found it Sunday when we were touring a favorite antiques store in Old Towne Orange, called Country Roads. I'm so delighted to have her reposing in my little garden space. It's a little early for my jasmine to be blooming, I anticipate it bursting out in another couple weeks. My honeysuckle is looking fine, tho I need a larger trellis for it.

I finally got my computer fixed to allow me to repost to my blog. Before it always told me to turn off 'cookies' and I didn't dare. I can restart my aborted attempt to join the group in blogland, and will soon!
