Thank you and Simon's garden

Thank you everyone for your very thoughtful birthday wishes. 
It was so nice of you to take time out of your day to do that.
All the fun I had takes the sting out of becoming another year older.
I'm reminded by some to be thankful I am a year older as  we all know the alternative. :-b
ok...no more talk about aging.

We have a third cat now and she will greet you as you arrive at the mouse-house.

 I'll tell you next post where she came from.
She really belongs on a fence but we have some fence work to finish up so for now she's a greeter. Isn't she cute?

Audrey is not impressed and thinks she is being replaced.

"No, I don't"  
"I think you've lost your marbles, Oooooold lady."

 

"And did you see those paws? What the heck!"

"If it's cute you want, how about this?"

 "I can't believe I am doing this but I have to eat."

=^..^=

The gardens look good. We are growing tomatoes, yellow beans, carrots, kale, lettuce, peppers of many colours and beets.

 

In another garden we are growing zucchini, cucumbers & cantalope. 

The wisteria is starting to climb and it will soon be blooming.

And I got some flowers planted at our little cemetery at the back along the old stone wall.

 This is such a peaceful little spot.

No tenants in these two houses yet.

 Our mama house wrens are still keeping house.

 

And our tree swallow (Tilly) is still on her nest, too.

Because it is way too hot to be out in the garden right now

our Annie is waiting for a treat while I'm inside. 

I want to show you Simon's little garden/den at our old pump.

 There have been large stones, ground cover and a few plants added and his sign is a little bolder now. ;-)

 I didn't see him today as the temperature was very high with humidity so he stayed in his den, no doubt. He'll be out looking for a snack tonight.

 

 

 I left him a peanut and lots of seed for his bed-time snack.

 

I hope he doesn't run for his life when he sees our new 'greeter' at the drive-way.

 "Happy Father's Day" to all you wonderful dads out there. 

We celebrate next weekend when all the kids can be together. :)

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

Have a great evening,

hugs, Deb
