On my way to the post office

Pictures of our garden.

This morning glory is at the post office..it thrives

on neglect...it's a cloudy day but look how the light

is shining through the center...it's like there is a clear

bulb in it.....absoultely beautiful.

 

Honeysuckle growing along the old dirt road that

is by my house. The smell in intoxicating.

 

This cactus grows at the edge of our property

and down the old dirt road.

This picture is in the fall..I'm told the maroon

bulbs on the top are edible...haven't worked up

enough courage to try.

You should see the dog in the strawberries finding the

perfect one to eat...and she knows to choose the

red ones...her limit is 4.

Belle

I call it a bottle brush plant...beautiful

Garden pictures...still have a few things to plant.

 

cabbage and broccoli

kudzu bugs have invaded south Georgia...but this

is not kudzu....it's my wisteria.

I will be mixing up a special cocktail for them

today when the dew dries. They feed by sucking

the nutrients from the plant...glad we noticed them

before the plant was destroyed.

Country living is the best

 

We have lived in the country for 13 years

and have loved every minute of it...or almost

every minute. It was such a nice day here

and we opened the front door to let the

sunshine in. A few minutes later my husband called

me to the living room where laid a snake in

the coiled position...the cat had been playing

with him. So we pick him up and take him outside

and dispose of him. About an hour later I saw the

cat out of the corner of my eye and she had

a skink about 5 inches long in her mouth. So I

chased her to the bedroom, praying that she

kept him in her mouth...thinking all along

that if she lets him go  I will never catch

him under the bed and will not get a good nights

sleep until he he is caught.  She held him tightly

in her teeth and I took him out of her mouth and

put him outside. The picture I am going to post is

a much bigger one for those of you that are not familiar with

skinks...they are harmless..but I still do not want

them in the bed...I did not take a picture of the

one she caught. Oh, by the way for the past two nights

I have had dreams of snakes.

 

do you know what kind of snake this is..I could not

find it on the internet.

There was about a 1/2" opening where the rubber flap

on the glass door had slid to the right..so that is back in place now so

hopefully it won't happen again.

 

 

Then about 2 hours later I heard the cats growling...like cat fight

growling. So I go to the living room and the inside cat is trying

to attack the cat outside through the glass. Ziggy adopted us

a few weeks ago..he is our barn cat. He proudly displays his

catches of field rats for us. 

 

 

So we have had an exciting day here.

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

 

 

 

 



Just a quick post

 

I just finished this doll and she will be

living in California. She is 24" long

and I used a Raggedy Days

pattern. There's lots of detail/character

and that is why I love making the mammy dolls.

I especially like the shoes.

I made the sunflower from muslin and burlap.
