early morning pictures, Memories and such.

So, I keep forgetting to take pictures in the afternoon after a long day, so this morning I remembered during my before work walk about. This Magnolia tree was given to me May 2005. I did not choose the best spot to plant it, and then In August of 2005, Katrina chose to dump a large tree on top of it, so , its tall and spindly rather than wide and bushy like the other. but still It has a lot of sentimental value due to the person who gave it to me. I must take a picture of the larger tree that obviously liked the other side of the house better. several years younger but wayyyyy bigger.

AND down below, my VERY small patch of green beans. I'm just practicing these days. LOL

went back a few days later and finally remembered to take a daylight picture of the skinny magnolia,,, given to me Mother's day 2005. 

Excitement will wake a person up.

WOW, arrived at work,, Guard on phone, asking me the address since they had the fire department on the phone. I think 10 or more firetrucks showed up right after me. I sat in the parking lot for about an hour before they cleared the buildings. I smelled smoke, but don't think they ever really found anything.
AT least it was a nice beautiful cool morning to stand around outdoors.LOVE the outdoors.

Eastern Phoebe versus Ceiling fan,,, guess who won.

acutally, the broken blade was from a previous nest, and I've been looking at fans to replace this one, but havn't found just the right one. not sure how much good they do, so i could just take it down I suppose. but for now, it belongs to the Phoebe,,, for the second time this year, I waited and kept the kitties indoors for the babies to fly which they did a couple of weekends ago. I had bought wash for the siding and i had to wait for them to fly away. I wan'ted to wait another week, but mama is already building a new nest after i knocked down the empty one. SO, i squeezed in the wash between the laying of moss and such. odd nest, yes. SO the porch is looking better, although I ran out of wash, i wanted to test a small bottle, since it is supposed to be safer for critters and plants. dunno why i didn't take a picture of the wash job. I will have to finish up soon.

PS< yes the babies flew away safely, much to Silly Dilly distress, she gets mad at me when i keep her up.
