big girl pants, blessed, cold, flowers, garden, impatiens, moments, nature, plants, Shelmerdine, water lily, weather, widow

drove out to Shelmerdine last Friday, to pick up a water lily for the pond, and may have picked up a few other items, lol…

I picked up two different impatiens plants which I am going to put into the pond;-)…

also found a beautiful spiral begonia…

I found a variety of morning glory seeds, as well as some for cucumbers and beans…

once home they went into the garage because the temperature was threatening to go to 0°C…

and then I moved all the plants waiting to be planted into the garage…

found a small pail and covered the tomato which had already been planted…

since then the plants have all been moved outside and are doing well;-)…

squirrels…

big girl pants, everywhere, feeders, garden, hibiscus, impatiens, squirrels, widow

a few days ago I noticed that the impatiens plants have been decimated in the garden… all that is left are the stems… not a leaf or a flower in sight… at first I thought it was the bunnies…

then I noticed that the hibiscus had broken branches…

yesterday while I was making supper in the kitchen a squirrel jumped onto the rail right beside the patio door…

they have broken branches on one of the cedar trees by the bird feeder, which they think is their personal food container…

I had wondered how the birds were emptying the feeders and then noticed this… they are jumping up from the ground… yikes…


they are everywhere…

planting…

as I was closing up the garage I discovered a little wasp nest which we will have to get rid of… picture’s a bit fuzzy but a little something was flying around it and I didn’t want to take it again, lol…
