I do not go to nurseries anymore because we have used up the little bit of sunny spots we have in the backyard, the rest is ¾ acre of tall pine trees, bushes and weeds. We miss the flowers but we do not see any neighbors, we are as in an island of green. My rose bushes are growing though. How many rose bushes do you have?Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294026230680025155.post-3680786176113613662010-05-20T07:34:40.809+01:002010-05-20T07:34:40.809+01:00Great collection of plants you found!

I have two preferencies: one is "impulsive buy" (must-have-it-and-space-will-be-found-later) or "well thought" (this-will-be-going-there).bayouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803865167364775151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294026230680025155.post-6387280434086208652010-05-20T01:30:24.298+01:002010-05-20T01:30:24.298+01:00How funny: I thought that Benno up in the left co...How funny: I thought that Benno up in the left corner was the beggar, and wished that there was less road taking up the photo!

Sometimes it seems that such weather clears up just as the sun goes down. Surely there is a scientific reason involving heat and chemistry. I will prefer a poetic version.<br /><br />Which takes me to thank you for having a poetry site.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment on my blog.<br /><br />I, too, cannot pass a garden centre without buying some plants . . . at least in May, that is. (My interest wanes in the autumn.) I'm trying to make out the plants in your trolley, but can only guess at most of them. I bought some new lilies and acanthus yesterday. Do I spy either of those two?Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294026230680025155.post-24393575975635210002010-05-18T20:13:53.303+01:002010-05-18T20:13:53.303+01:00I think your man is stood at the edge of a stretch...I think your man is stood at the edge of a stretch of water that separates him from the small island beyond.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294026230680025155.post-14613505471177759272010-05-18T19:58:42.470+01:002010-05-18T19:58:42.470+01:00That path patch is cool.

We had a damp patch on our kitchen wall at one time and it clearly showed the shadow of a man's face - Cured the problem and now he's gone! Ilove your picture of that little bird.

Is he wearing a tri-corn hat?<br />Your round of hi-jacked errands sounds like my sort of excursion.
