To my pleasant surprise, some of the zinnia we planted the other day are already sprouting. I'm hoping that this year the things I plant will grow better than last year.

| Just two or three so far. Trust me, they are there. |
- This gorgeous tree is out by a nearby art school.
 |
| It might be a magnolia, I'm not sure. |
- Cats are adorable as they sit by the door watching the birds go by.
- On Saturday we noticed some bluets were out. I found more today. If my memory is correct, Mom and her sister used to call them pissabeds.
- Sometimes walking through the back property I see something and notice something new about it. There is a rotting stump that I am sure has been there all along but today it looked different. The angle I saw it from maybe gave it a different appearance. I decided to take a closer look. It turns out that it was once part of a fence.
 |
| It was the different shapes that caught my eye. |
 |
| Getting closer I realized that it was not a completely natural formation. It is possible that it is a fence pole or a tree that grew around the parts of a fence or a tree used as a fence that grew around the parts where the wire is. There is wire coming out of it and it is rotting in interesting ways. |
- Soon there will be more green.

Stay safe.
Lol, my Mom always feels the need to tell me that my grandmother called Bluets "pissabeds", too. 😄
ReplyDeleteAccording to the internet, pissabed is the term used for dandelions and other plants-such as the bluet-that were used as diuretics. Isn't it nice to know that the term is more widely used than just our family? :D
ReplyDeleteDiuretics, hahah no wonder they called them pissabed
