lycomingstI am not as amused by squirrels destroying my plants as I was by having a deer in my backyard.

May. 15th, 2025 08:18 pmlycomingstOmg, I had a deer in my yard, nibbling my plants. I know I’m supposed to be annoyed but I felt privileged. A real live deer. The most interaction I’ve had this close with wildlife is racoons stripping all the apricots off my tree. I wish she’d taken a liking to the mint somebody was unwise enough to plant all over.
Also, I now know what deer poop looks like.

May. 12th, 2025 07:02 pmlycomingstHit a new store today, Goodwill. It’s a big one and I found $7 worth of garden items. I’m going to make bird fountains. Also got hanging baskets, like you see in kitchens to hold veggies. A very pretty blue. Also got some ideas for other things. And I didn’t get lost getting there, though I did go in the wrong parking lot first. Still, a good trip.
But it’s raining. Cloudbursts come and go. I’m not used to rain after April. The dogwood tree has lost all its flowers. Now it’s all green leaves all the time. Petals on the ground. When I moved in last autumn there were brown leaves ankle deep. The tree always has something to say.

May. 10th, 2025 06:55 pmlycomingstI met the next door neighbor, Joann (?). Names slip right out of my brain. Now I know about her dead husband and her dementia mother with a broken hip who she goes to visit.
She wants to replace our shared fence which is in sad shape. She did tell me that the Park will pay for removal of the dead tree in my backyard. If I don’t have to pay for that, I could afford a new fence.
I made escape from the Park on Friday as they seem to have finished the road work. Much better than traveling over the gravel and stones. We’re smooooth. I hit three stores and got more garden stuff. When I used to have more disposable income I gave more to charities and somehow signed up for the Arbor Day organization. And they send me plants if I give them money. So I have three butterfly bushes in pots; let’s see if they grow. I didn’t want them in the ground because they can be a bugger to get rid of. I think the Arbor Day org. Is cute.
A couple of weeks ago I bought myself a Mr. Lincoln rose. Which, I’m happy to say, is putting out leaves. This rose is very fragrant, as roses should be.
I heard my first Miley Cyrus song. I was surprised by her voice and I liked it.
