MARIAN'S GARDEN!!

Saturday, my friend, Marian and I volunteered to work the annual Fall Plant Sale at our local botanical center.

I will post about that later this week.
I hope you notice the beautiful BLUE sky!

Today, I want to share my friend's secret garden.

Our community is inundated with deer. Any plant within their range is fodder for them. If you hope to have any flowering plant material you have to protect it from the deer.

Marian has a very small fenced area of her side yard that has flourished this year.

Let's visit!

Her volunteer Beautyberry is awesome this year. The birds will find the berries soon and the plant will be stripped within two days.

Here, we can just see the rooting of Night Blooming Cereus, that I gave her earlier in the season. Hers will out grow mine easily.

Marian has two green thumbs.

Beautiful Penta!

Marian's little fence. It takes only a small barrier to keep out the deer, especially when they don't have open space to jump.

Marian is easily the most beautiful thing in the garden.

Her friendship is special and we have so much fun together

Now we are off to sell some plants!

See you later!!
Please leave a comment so that I know you visited!

I am joining the following parties. Come join in the fun!

FALL FRONT PORCH

Autumn ... Maybe Tomorrow!

The forecast is for cooler weather. Starting tomorrow and for the next week the temperatures are supposed to be in the mid 70's.

I have been doing a little digging in those boxes and came up with an old wreath. A little tweaking here and there, add a little this and that and you have a new/old free fall wreath.

Babs, I keep finding roosters I never knew I had. He's been hiding upstairs for a year or so. Funny, I never heard any crowing.

I have been seeing a lot of crows and blackbirds around blog land lately. A large one had landed on the screened porch, out back. I grabbed him by the neck and brought him, squawking, to the front. If he expects to eat he will have to work for his food. He is now the official greeter!

DID I EVER TELL YOU?

You hit a dog with one of my biscuits, you kill the dog!

WELL, I once threw some biscuits, out back, to feed the birds. Bob came in the room rolling with laughter. Upon going to the window, I see the crows dunking my biscuits in the birdbath (true story) . What an insult!!! This crow is gonna work for his biscuits, soggy or not.

The only thing I purchased for the porch was three potted mums from Sam's Club. I placed one in the cute pot above.

With those googlie eyes, I am not sure if Mr. Crow is watching over this mum, in the vintage cold bucket or flirting with me. Probably wants a biscuit.

I am using some faux pumpkins. It's too hot to put out real ones here, just yet.
