Untended beauty



When I went outside to water my "sacred" tomatoes the other day I noticed all these different Wild flowers. I do not know their names but they sure are doing good growing all by themselves, no help from me that is. 
It always surprises me how well wild flowers grow with no special care or placement. Just the opposite is true with the "cultivated" flower types. If I don't water and protect my tomatoes they start to show signs of stress. Seems the same in people often times. The ones that grow in the harsher less tender situations have more strength and natural ability to thrive. Ha Ha, guess I'm a cultevar, no surprise there. I am always in awe of different styles of life. 


Isn't this little red cutie just the BEST! So much red color, and its just squeaking by in that little crack of space. 😁



When I see a yellow flower, I always think, "buttercup yellow." Its not a buttercup as far as I know but it is a nice pleasant shade of yellow.  


Awe...and here we have our "out of the package seeds" my marigolds, although they are a few generations out of the packet. I like to keep collecting the dead seed heads for future planting. I'm cheep like that. Why pay when you can get the same thing for free?


So next time your outside appreciate all those little "wild" flowers and consider, what kind of flower are you?

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u

I love the trailing days of fall, the light is different and the air feels just right. It always amazes me how the sun casts such a different kind of lighting onto the trees and other green thing this time of year almost like a spotlight but not harsh or hot.  I had a wonderful crop of raspberries just enough for a couple handfuls each day they were fun to watch progressing over the summer. At one point I had a scare. Some of the raspberry bushes got some kind of grub egg in them, I forget the name now but it lays an egg somehow that causes the top 3 inches or so to wilt. I googled it and got directions on how the save the plant and I think  I caught it in time. PHEW  I The garden as a whole is wonderful, a wild but productive place.  We have this one pretty maple tree in our backyard but unfortunately it may go next year we need the space to plant some fruit trees. I hate to cut trees but they grow like mad here.  I’ll leave you with my b
