Around the Yard ~

I am not sure how I manage to be busy all the time and accomplish so little.  I have pulled a few (very few!) loops on Shady Spot and have been working on binding the three little door prize mats for the September hook in.

Yard work always needs to be done.  As usual, the damn deer have been enjoying my hostas.  

Passion flower vine is so invasive, but the flowers are most unusual and beautiful.

The variety of morning glories that reseed every year are also quite invasive.  I just don't have luck with the pretty blue ones.

Naked Ladies, aka Resurrection lilies did well this year.

My black eyed Susan vine is growing like gangbusters, but I have had only a few flowers 😞

Random shots around the yard.  The gardens are starting to look a bit tired.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Plant Moving ~

I normally don't move plants mid summer so not sure why I have decided to move so many this year.  I have been digging up some of the more invasive prolific plants and passing them on to neighbors.  At the price of perennials, I hate to just throw them away.

My passion flower vine, a invasive prolific reseeder, has the most unusual flowers.  So funny.  They don't seem to have any roots when you pull them from the ground.  Their seed pods are about the size of a small lemon.

Friend Laura has been gifting me some plants so need to fit those in the yard.  She gave me an angel vine and when we were out antiquing the other day, found the perfect concrete pedestal to plant it in.  Unfortunately, she gave me the plant after we returned home, so yesterday I had to make a two hour round trip, $20 in gas plus turnpike tolls to go buy the darn thing.  

Sometimes you just do crazy things, but it is perfect, don't you think?

Tomorrow I am off to a dye class in the morning offered by a guild I belong to.  Vernon Junction Sue is joining me.  Then in the afternoon a local "summer market" is close to home.  I hope the quality of the crafts/merchandise, along with vintage items, is still high and the booths are not filled with Chinese imports.

No moss growing under my feet 😁

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
