Happy November 1 2023 – The Magnificent Buck


This morning, I was tickled-pink when I looked out and saw this magnificent buck chasing a herd of beautiful does across the backyard. It was a bit of a magical gift and a wonderful way to start off the new month.

I wish you all a Magical and Happy November.

I apologize for the photo quality, it’s through my window and screen. Even with camera set on glass-through, it still wonky looking. And I’m on my new laptop and can’t tell for sure if the quality looks all right. :/


Deer, Gardening & Shrubs

There’s a new fawn in the neighborhood. I was able to get a photo of it and its Mom. They’re so pretty.

Our tomatoes are finally ripening in larger numbers. We like the Roma variety quite well. We eat them like regular tomatoes. They also make delicious juice.Now that our tomatoes are coming in, our squash is coming to an end.Our garden is pretty much at an end. My husband mowed everything down except the tomato, squash and cucumber plants.

I’ve always wanted a ‘Rose of Sharon’, I was delighted Friday when my husband surprised me with a lovely white one.
Saturday, we went for a ride and found a garden center that was having a 50% to 75% off the shrubs. We bought 2 crepe myrtles, a pink rose of sharon and 2 garden phlox.Sunday evening, We transplanted the shrubs in the yard. I’m in high hopes they’ll thrive and bloom and attract more butterflies. We’re happy to have lucked up on such a good deal.

I hope you all have a great week.
