This summer, while I worked in HD’s Garden Dept., the ease of obtaining plants encouraged me to create a home garden. I’ve gardened a bit in previous years but without real and lasting interest. This year, my efforts are more vigorous. Perhaps learning more about plants in HD’s garden environment lead me to a healthier respect for them.
This summer’s growing warmth and my care for the little garden are showing more hoped-for gains. Yesterday, my blooming butterfly and bee attractors, Lily of the Valley and Lavender, invited visitors. A couple of Monarchs fluttered long on the Lavender.
This capture doesn’t duplicate today’s header photo, it’s of another butterfly.
This unexpected, delightful sighting reveals my garden inviting Ladybugs! Here’s a little fella circling on the birdbath’s higher edge.
Wild birds and chipmunks are plentiful visitors; however, I shift now to a domestic bird, my Cockatoo, Peaches. Here and almost outside in a cage that fronts a flowered deck, he’s starting to play with a giant new toy constructed especially for him.
There’s never too much of Peaches, and here, he enjoys an orange during a break from destroying his toy.
Dear Friends: Simple appreciations keep our world beautiful and sustaining. Diana
