No More Gardening!

I know.  I said that I was finished with gardening... Just one more day... Please?

I couldn't resist, when I saw this plant.  I have never seen anything like it... Never!

And besides, Spike thinks that I bought him some trees... No Spike!

This is the label that was sticking in the pot.  I must assume from the name that it is found in the vicinity of Mt. Kilimanjaro... 

Anyway, one thing led to another. Or maybe I should say One plant led to another...

Now I have to re pot everything.  Sorry about that. 

Tessie is helping.  She "accidentally" broke a piece off of one of the plants and immediately wanted it re potted for herself. She declared that it was just her size...

These two plants came from Walmart.  See that little stem in front of the right pot?  That was in the right pot.  Evidently fell off of another plant. 

I am thinking that if I can root it, I will have a whole other plant after a month or two... We shall see...

The pot that it was in is a "Creeping Fig".  How could you resist a plant with such a creepy name?  I know I can't.

I did find a foot stool that is just exactly the right height.  That was five dollars at Goodwill.  Perfect for the spot.

And last, but not least...I had a visit from Hudson Hawk.  I think that he is getting used to being a camera hog!  I swear that he comes in and poses.  Or else it was the squirrel that we had to scare away that was the attraction...

Yup!  I had to have Walter go scare the squirrel away. 

Then for some reason Hudson didn't want to stick around anymore.

I am going back to potting now.

See you tomorrow.  Without plants, but with minis!

Squirrel Watching and Other Sunday Pastimes...

Kota has discovered the joys of squirrel watching.  If they are around, he can spend hours at the back door watching.  He doesn't move a muscle for fear of scaring them away. 

I have been drawing trees on the sides of the HBS contest kit... It is fun doing this without entering the contest... I can do whatever I want and I can show you everything.

The trees turned out very light in this photo.  It's hard to see the two little creatures hiding in the bushes.

That's OK though.  Tessie and Spike can see them...

Hudson Hawk was here as I was writing this.  I took his photo as he posed nicely on the fence.

Now about those squirrels... I think that I just saved a life.  Silly squirrel was sitting by the lettuce plate, nibbling away when Hudson landed on the ground about 10 feet away!

I banged on the window and said squirrel took off like a streak of lightning!  I hope he made it back to his hole on the other side of the fence! 

I think that he did, because Hudson was slow to take off and the hole is just over the fence and a few feet away.

Oh!  The excitement!

No more squirrel watching for a while.

See you tomorrow.  P.S. The squirrel is back gobbling peanuts.  All's well that ends well!
