Garden Tuesday

A couple of Saturdays ago while having dinner with my guy and his parents, I looked out the window and saw this. He/she? was on the fence out by my garden. I say this to excuse the not so hot photos..... window, rain, distance, moo. 

 I was trying not to squee (I am a bird nerd, I love them.... ) because when I looked again, I saw there were two.

 I have no idea of the exact type that they are. Hawks of some sort, I'm not knowledgeable, I just like them.

They are rather intimidating and I realized they were trying to intimidate the squirrels in our yard.

 They were either practicing their hunting skills or trying to have one for dinner, though I never saw them get close. There are three squirrels that hang out in our yard and they're pretty fast.

Now that I think about it, lately I've only seen two. 

Hmmm.....

Garden Tuesday is over at Sidewalk Shoes.

Go check it out!

Our Back Yard

If you're standing in the center of our yard and turn in a circle,  this is what you'll see.

Patio

Back of the house.

 In front of the chimney is a pump system for our well. It's not very attractive but it sure will help when I need water!

So yes, the yard is big but it's not as big as it looks.... There is so much I'd like to do. When I first saw the photos with the hammock it was pretty much a done deal. Have I told you I love hammocks?? My son has already replaced this with a new one. I also look forward to seeing if I still have a green thumb. Gardening is something I used to love. Then there's the terrace or patio (depending on where you've lived for the past few years.....) I'm picturing big dinners with friends and family. 

Give me a call when you're in town!
