UNK, On the 20th you posted. I thought your arrangements in the first photo were lovely. A charming space. I liked the painting very much.

Purslane and Spurge have many similarities, main differences are colors of small flowers and size of stems, look at a comparison of the 2. Purslane is nutritious, and I have eaten it, DO NOT eat Spurge.

Looks awesome! I love fresh figs, and they grow wild around Alexandria. Herb has a tree in his backyard, but the white tailed antelopes are beating him to the goods.

Thanks QS! My wife is the one with the green thumb. My daughter painted the picture of the crows for my wife ( I can't remember if for Christmas or birthday). We have a lot of crows around here, and my wife loves them and feeds them every morning. They caw and yell at her if she is late!

We have a herd of birds every morning - crows, cardinals, blue jays, chickadees, finches, fly catchers, wrens, and a ton of dove. We even get to see an occasional painted bunting. Every once in a while, a hawk will swoop in and take out a dove, much to my wife's distress.

My little contribution to this thread. We're just getting started as we've only been at our new place for six months and we're still shopping to add more and see what would look good where. There is a significance to each rock between the stumps. The big flat rock in the back comes from a rock wall at a cemetery in Independence, Missouri that was built around a cemetery in the 1840s. The two small rocks on the left are from my backyard of my childhood home in Kansas City, Kansas. The thin rock on the right comes from Pomme De Terre lake and the square-ish rock on the right comes from Stockton lake, both in Missouri. The big long rock in front is from a bridge site where my Grandpa worked years ago. He was a supervisor for bridge building in Kansas City. A LOT of bridges in KC were built by with my grandpa's labor. The two stumps were from trees we had cut down because they were both dying. They give some character to the yard and we took advantage of it.
The light bulbs illuminate different colors at night.

Good stuff, MG, those rocks are great mementos!
I have several rocks around my house that are reminders of family.

Wow, that's a big ol punkin, cm62!
What do y'all do with a pumpkin that large?

We've got some blue flowers at the edge of the back deck that are quiet interesting. My wife said they are Mexican Petunias. Paying closer attention, I noticed they lose all of their blooms each afternoon and come full again the next morning, there is another crop of new flowers. By crop, I'm estimating a minimum of 50 flowers.

: Noon yesterday, after church.

: 4 pm yesterday, most flowers have dropped.

: This morning around 9am, full of blooms again.

The hummingbirds do a quick run over the flowers, must not be a lot of nectar in the blooms. Honeybees and other insects, butterflies spend more time on the flowers.
Amazing the things we can see if we just look around when we are outside in God's creation.

Our hydrangeas had more blooms than I ever remember this year, they started blooming again recently. The boss cut these off for a little floral display.

Linton roses, they love cold weather been blooming since mid Jan.

Buttercups really bursted out the last couple of days, they had one bloom before our little snow and single digits temperatures last week. Tough little buggers

Linton roses love cold weather l reckon, been blooming for awhile now.

Buttercups have bursted onto the scene in the last couple of days, although there was one bloom on this bunch before our little snow and single digit temperatures of a week ago.

Found this in the front yard. Not from anything growing nearby. It has been quite windy.

It’s translucent.

Doesn’t look like a Silver Dollar leaf and its point of attachment is at the center of a fibrous ridge on the underside.

Just curious.
