Great Egret










Lorikeets are amazing animals. They have long tongues they use to drink nectar from flowers.
Our Stargazer Lilies finally bloomed.




Our perennial garden sprang back better than it looked last summer.

Auburn found a 4-foot black rat snake in our backyard. I hope the snake didn’t find Chippy!


We harvested one of our three blueberry bushes today




First Day Lily in our garden this year.

Rode a mountain bike trail in Greenville, SC. Sliding Rock Creek Trail is not well maintained. Too many roots on the path, and I had to climb over a downed tree. It was a beautiful day, so I enjoyed the time outdoors anyway.


The Big Dog Show is a large-scale temporary art exhibition featuring artist Dale Rogers’ most beloved design, The American Dog.



New blooms in our American Meadows garden. This Purpleicious Veronica didn’t bloom last year, but it looks pretty now.

Can you guess what this planter is made from?

We have fruit on all three of our blueberry bushes this year. I put netting over them to keep the birds from eating the fruit before it ripens.

We had to say goodbye to Monty today.
