I didn't realize that the puschnikia's came in those colours....so that is what they are then. <br /><br />Also thanks for the link to the pen. I actually have one just like that that I currently use plastic markers - so that's what I will use on my new aluminum-type markers. <br /><br />Cheers, DianeDiane at My Cottage Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855098457081134408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-77793022764692766642010-06-07T17:57:54.470-04:002010-06-07T17:57:54.470-04:00The billy goat and I guess it's a really small...The billy goat and I guess it's a really small horse are too funny.<br />This critter post would be a good meme.

Not sure I will get to it this week though, I have a trip planned.<br /> Yes, this is my favorite time of year, I love the flowers that bloom now, but as usual they just go so fast. We have been very short on rain here so today's showers are a welcome event.<br /> There is always dirt under my nails even though I wear gardening gloves.

I will have to look back. Your walk through your yard let you see quite an array of critters. You are very lucky. The name dude cracks me up. Love to see the purple martins in your house. We live in the city so that isn't something I see often. Hope your holiday weekend was great.

Glad you enjoyed the walk!<br /><br />Country Mouse - It is difficult here to create an English garden in rocks, shale, and clay. There's a saying that a Pocono gardener's trowel is called a backhoe! I am glad you folks are taking the challenge. I look forward to seeing your 8x8 photo. <br /><br />Snap - You made such nice comments.

I so relate to your nostalgia for your grandmother's garden. For me it's my grandfather's vegetable allotment, but it's the same kind of thing I'm sure. It's not such a good idea to reproduce British gardens in California, however - conditions are just too different. We have to learn to love where we are, eh?Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294472166693008328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-34623252962522292612010-05-29T09:57:03.991-04:002010-05-29T09:57:03.991-04:00You did get lucky on your picture - grandkids are ...You did get lucky on your picture - grandkids are the best.<br />That's funny about the male bird resting while the female does all the work. A pair we have here every year (swallows maybe?) work together. She brings a load while he stays with the house and then while she's putting it in he leaves and comes back with some. Same after the babies come - they take turns staying at the house. Are those big pink blooms your honeysuckle? Huge and beautiful! That is very neat about the hunters and the deer. I really enjoyed the walk.RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-26635946569109374362010-05-29T08:52:57.755-04:002010-05-29T08:52:57.755-04:00What a lovely photo for the 8X8 challenge.

Dude and Billy Goat have got the right idea, resting in the sun. I love the little humming bird. I remember the first time I saw one in St. Lucia, I didn't know what it was, they're so small. Glad to hear that the deer has survived another winter, and I think that's very sportsmanlike for the local hunters to have a code not to shoot her.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
