Circle Planter

I planted some daisies next to those purple flowers.

I'm hoping they will grow strong and spread like the purple flowers.

Trunk

The trunk garden needs more color!

But everything gets eaten back in that corner or dies fast.  

Blue Birds

Last year a blue bird nested in the yellow house.

I haven't seen any birds this year.

Maybe soon!

Converse Garden

We added some new Converse to our garden.

Spring Garden

Our spring garden is packed!  And we have even more to plant!

Corn

The corn is growing tall!

Bird Feeder

The birds have been busy!

Zucchini

Yummy!

Planting

I put my dirtbags in the ground!

Morning Glory

The morning glory is getting ready to travel 

up and wrap itself around our dead painted tree!

Tarragon

Oliver got these tiny tarragon plants at

the Earth Day Fair in Balboa Park.

We planted them here.  Hopefully

they flourish.  They are a pretty strong plant.

Shotgun

I love finding neat treasures in our yard.  Most of the time its the plants and flowers that show up during the different seasons, sometimes its the animals, and occasionally its just something strange.

Like this shotgun I found buried behind my shed.

My shed.

A picture of the gun after I removed some 

of the dirt.  First I spied just the end of it,

I brushed some of the dirt away and read

"Remington."  Hmmm.  That kind of scared

me for a second!

I started to dig it out and then stopped.

I didn't want anything to happen and

I don't know a lot about guns.

So, I called the police to have them take it away.

I didn't want it to be in my backyard when my

daycare kids were playing back there.

Two nice police officers came and dug the rest out.

Scary!!!

Now we wonder if there is anything else back there.

We started to dig a little.  First taking out the old

pallet.  Maybe we will dig more.  Oliver thinks

he will find buried money!  That would be fun!

But in the meantime, I'm going to go to the Escondido library soon to research more about my neighborhood.  Maybe I can uncover some kind of secret!  

Tomatoes

The tomato plants are growing fast and strong!  We can't wait to eat some yummy tomatoes!

Cottage Garden

My pretty cottage garden didn't work so well.  Something ate all the flowers except the white ones.  I added some pretty purple flowers this weekend and plan to add a few more so they spread.  I still like it though.

Dirtbags

My dirtbags are sprouting!
