Deer getting take-out food

Tricia — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:15:35 +0000

I know that some of my fellow gardeners probably feel like their garden is an open buffet for wildlife pests such as deer and rabbits … apparently deer aren’t only hitting local gardens. Nope, they’ve started trying to get take-out from local businesses too!

I wonder if they ordered a salad and a cocktail?

BTW – sorry that I haven’t posted a Green thumb post or any updates lately. I’ve been getting my gardening done (planting young plants and seeds etc), but I’ve also been very sick with Crohn’s so I haven’t felt up to writing. Sorry! I’ll be making some updates soon.

Coming in for a landing …

Wordless Wednesday

I don’t know if this bird is overjoyed that it discovered some berries and it’s doing a flip in the air as a result … or if this is just the start of a very bad landing ..

What do you think? Bad landing or joy? Or maybe it’s just really windy?

Either way it’s both a pretty picture and a funny picture at the same time. I think so anyway!

This meal’s for the birds!

If two is company and three’s a crowd, what is it when you haveat least a dozen birds sitting at the table with you? Not a Hen party! LOL

It looks like she’s given up and she’s just pushing her meal towards the birds, doesn’t it?

This little birdie ain’t happy!

LOL have you ever seen one bird chasing another? Probably lots of times, right?

I’ll bet that you never saw one catch the other by it’s tail before though!

BTW I didn’t take this picture, wish I knew who did as it’s a fantastic shot, isn’t it?

Now that’s a Zucchini

Wordless Wednesday

I grew Zucchini the first couple of years that I had my garden and some of them got quite big, but I don’t think any of them ever got to be this size. That’s a huge Zucchini!

I guess it deserves the seat belt.

Extra Petunas? Have fun and plunk them into a bra planter!

Tricia — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:12:56 +0000

Wordless Wednesday

It looks like someone got creative when they were trying to come up with an idea for their extra petunias!

I’ve seen some unusual planters and garden decor, but I think this takes the cake!

I got this photo from the Garden Humor site. The photo originated in Australia. I guess the idea for this hot pink container came about as a way to raise awareness of breast cancer at a fundraiser to find a cure for breast cancer.

Great idea.

I wonder if this will cause anyone to create a lingerie garden?

Hide your garden gloves!

A thief is on the lose. Yep. This one specializes in stealing garden gloves.

I bet there’s a lot of gardeners in the neighborhood wondering where their other glove went.

Almost like putting socks in the dryer and discovering that some of your socks lost a mate, only this time the thief is known. It’s a mischievous cat.

Snow bear

Tricia — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 05:52:44 +0000

Wordless Wednesday

Well it’s finally warming up here in Toronto a bit and the snow has begun to melt. In fact I’d say it’s about half gone. Yeah!!!!

I figured I’d better post this funny snowy branch photo now while there’s still some snow left around here. I never realized that snow could be like clouds as in the way you can sometimes see familiar shapes in clouds. Certainly this branch looks like it’s got a polar bear resting on it, doesn’t it?

Squirrels sure do some crazy things to get to those tasty seeds don’t they?

Do you have any funny tales or photos of animals doing something silly on your property?

Transformed Transformers?

Tricia — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 08:02:15 +0000

Very Late Wordless Wednesday?

Isn’t this an amazing picture?

Obviously it’s been photoshopped, but it’s kind of like an image out of a bad dream isn’t it? All of the electrical towers turning into transformers and I don’t mean the electrical kind … or maybe I do?

I missed Wordless Wednesday this week. I was suffering from a terrible migraine, one that feels like it might be coming back, and I just couldn’t do a single thing!

I hope you guys had a better week than I did!
