I've been working on getting things potted. I moved the bird bath to the center and then placed the pots around it in a half moon display. I want to get some ceramic frogs for down front of it or maybe I'll make some. This fall I'll repaint the gnome, he's getting a bit sad. The plants in the raised pot by the door are called Dot Plants, color coded depending on the color of dots.
The rose I just planted today needs trimming and deadheaded, the bloom is dropping off but the fragrance was wonderful. Can't wait for new blooms to happen. It's paler than I like, my preference is for vibrant colors but it will do. Next year I'll get a Peace rose to be it's friend.
I still haven't gotten my red patio pavers to trim the patio with. Maybe in a few weeks. It's still a work in progress.
Last night I was sitting out on the patio and my neighbor to the west came out to let her little dog out. I invited her to have a visit and she grabbed her drink and sat down. We chatted for maybe an hour or so. Was a nice visit and nice to have amiable neighbors. I feel very fortunate to have found this place. I'm settling in nicely and some homey happiness is sneaking back into my life.
I really like the variegated plant in the whit pot. What is it?
@NoPlanetB I'll have to look for this. Very Unusual. Thanks
Everything looks ready to go inside to avoid first overnight frost this fall....have any birds come to drink or bathe ?
@NoPlanetB a little bit of guano might fertilize a soil pot but what do I know given my poor results
It looks so inviting. Wish you were my neighbor!!
Alice appreciates your birthday wishes yesterday

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
