This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.

Sunny Sunday..................

Today was a lovely day and I was watching Ryland so didn't attempt to do anything. I had thought about going out today but was tired. This getting up at 5am is not doing my body any good. If I had to do this constantly I would have to make a big effort to go to bed early, This is the last day for babysitting so I am thinking tomorrow I will sleep in............Then next week I have plans to either tidy up this garden or rearrange things inside. Monday though I will rest up best I can and get some strength back.
This afternoon I went out to see whats going on out there. The bee's were busy out back they were enjoying the Garlic Chives.

I was enjoying checking out the seeds, I love how beautiful they are, and of course the promise of the year to come.

The daisies are all battered from the rains, several days last week as well as bugs that have been chowing down on everything.

Some flowers still surviving but not very showy, it's been a very weird year. The garden was never really impressive at all.

The Hydrangea are small and sparse but very pretty.

Well there is a lot to do out there so that I won't have so much to do in the Spring. That will depend upon the weather. If it's hot or wet forget it. I am done with heat.

So the garden is pretty much ready to be put to bed. I should get bulbs now for Spring, but Spring is so far off I just can't get in the mood to spend money on next year. It is only September after all. I am just wondering what kind of Autumn we will have.

I have two poodles that look very much like yours. I wish I could attach a picture to show you.
