Backyard Bench



I finally got around to potting some mums for the backyard.
I didn’t do anything to the bench I um, acquired.
Other then putting some wood hardener on the legs.
I put a couple of stones down for the uneven legs too.

See that blob next to the mums?

Our little backyard turtle came out to say hello.
And Henry went right to it and tried to play hockey with it.
I kept shooing Henry away so he’d poke his head out again but it was a no go.

A neighbor’s tree came down about a month ago and the debris has still not been picked up. So I had #3 son and my hubby grab a couple of stumps for me to use as plant stands. 
They were thrilled.

The bark is peeling off but it looks pretty cool without any bark.

I haven’t put anything out front yet but I have a lot of my summer plants still blooming.

Besides, we can enjoy them more out back since that is where we usually are.

I had this odd little cluster of mushrooms growing in the yard.
I found them so interesting looking.
They might be why our grass isn’t looking too hot right now.
Perhaps it's time to fertilize again.

It’s also time to start doing some projects inside.
I really want to get the kitchen done before the holidays get here.
It the one room in the house that is still bugging me.
I just have to jump in and get going.

Do you have any projects waiting to get done?

A Visitor




He’s back!

We seem to spot him in the yard around the same time each year.

I’m not positive it’s the same one.
How fast do they grow? But it’s fun to see them hanging out in the yard.

#3 son picked him up so I could get a closer shot.
What a grumpy face.

He has been named Mikey. My boys were serious Ninja Turtle fans.

Kirsty has 3 boys also. They are so cute! I miss mine being that little. Sometimes. She said they are into reptiles lately so I thought they might get a kick out of seeing Mikey.

Okay, he’s had enough.

He kept peeing. I think that was a sign.
