I got more than my share of those plus a bit of anxious meowing whenever I left the first week I was home. Poor guy! He seems happily to have put the long inside stay behind him now, I hope, but he does still get a bit anxious when I come home after dark. <br /><br />And I only showed the part of the garden that is looking good right now! The rest of the garden is a little pekid. Its in front of a grand oak and needs quite a bit of manure and compost and mulch to keep it healthy as the oak roots really sap the nourishment I think. It wasn't great soil to begin with there, and I really should have had a huge compost load the first year and didn't due to $$. So I am backtracking now trying to amend, amend, amend. AND find plants that will tolerate my forest clearing. Its a challenge, but I think I'm getting there... yikes, long reply!Valeriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621130622153365184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482310772862064470.post-31767578055797498522012-07-16T09:31:17.568-04:002012-07-16T09:31:17.568-04:00your homes are so beauty Full...you are a very luc...your homes are so beauty Full...you are a very lucky woman.grace Forrest~Maestashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853978388902544613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482310772862064470.post-61224462319733417132012-07-16T08:53:37.080-04:002012-07-16T08:53:37.080-04:00How different your parents' garden in tropical...How different your parents' garden in tropical Florida is to your own.

I could show you figures.” <br />― Robert A. Heinlein from "The Door into Summer" it's a good book about time portals and cats! Loved all the Narnia books too back in my early 20's when I was an avid fantasy reader have yet to see Tilda Swinton as the Ice Queen in the films but she would be purrfect !
