Ketch-Up Day

 


How are you? Watcha doing?

I'm winterizing, trimming back bushes, and mowing. Whew.

These are the newbies that needed winterizing.


 My razzmatazz grapevine.


My mandarin orange. I call it my Tree of Life.  You may recall, I found a baby bird sitting under it this  spring, then sadly this fall I found an injured starling, that I thought for sure was going to make it and didn't, lying next to it.  

I hope the tree survives. It's not in the proper zone.  We'll see come spring.

 

And the latest addition, my Granny Apple.  It has a nice sturdy trunk. My only concern: It arrived like this.  Apparently too much water held in its roots on its journey from Oregon to North Carolina.  Another we'll see come spring.

Ketch-Up Day

 


Whatcha been doing?

How's your weather, Blogger Buds?  Hope Isasias didn't hit you. We got about four inches of rain, so can't complain about that.

The Monarchs have arrived.  Nope not the king and queen but the butterflies. They pit stop by about this time of year on their journey.  There's a handful of swallowtails left but not many.


 

AND

The occasional Iris is blooming. What's going on in your garden?


 

 AND


 Who's under the towel?


 Is it, Louie or Masie?


 Nori?


 Frank?


 Or Callie?

 

AND last but not least

That's all for today, Blogger Buds. Hopefully we'll see each other tomorrow in cyber land.
