Yeah it’s another rather unlikely and weird “duo” – bacon and plants (yesterday’s blog was “monsters and plants”!!) – yet that’s what my blog today is ALLLLLLLLLLLLL about. Bacon of course because it’s Baconating day around here EVERY Saturday, but plants because I promised to show you what Mom has done so far in my yard………!
Gimme! (no this isn’t me but substitute my ginger face and it would be me!)
Mom was all set to take photos of the plants yesterday afternoon when WHAMMO her camera battery died so up to the drug store she went and got a new one. Thanks Mom…….you’ve been promising everyone photos like FOREVER………….so here’s a little slideshow with what’s going on SO FAR at my house……there will be updates in the future as Mom gets more “stuff” !
By the way, be patient when the window pops up for the slideshow – there are a lot of photos so it might take a second before the show begins!!
So my friends, that’s the state of things Saturday morning but today is another day AND it’s supposed to be sunny and in the 70s and Mom says while Dad’s at the Manassas Air Show, she’s going plant shopping again! WOO WOO WOOOOO!
Enjoy your Saturday – I think I’ll be out enjoying my yard…………………AND my deck!
Hugs, Sammy

Oh nice! Tile on your porch floor will be lovely – and COOL…….My Mom is talking about getting one of those “indoor/outdoor” carpets for our front porch.

Hi Sammy,
Your garden looks ever so beautiful. 🙂 Your Mom did a really great job. Here, it’s not so colourful, but great all the same. On Thursday we got 7 new trees, some replacement for the oaks [17 altogether] we had to have cut down 😦 last year because they were dead or dying from oak wilt. So sad. 😦 But at least we have some replacement now. But … now the hard work is on me to put fences around them to protect them from the deer. Well, it needs to be done, and exercise is good, isn’t it? 😉
Enjoy your bacon and the weekend,
Pit

Oh Mr. Pit that’s a lot of work but will be worth it for the great shade you’ll get from the replacement trees. Very sad when oak wilt and other diseases hit beautiful trees. Good for you!!!!!!

Hi Sammy,
we’re happy about the new trees. Really happy. And maybe we’ll get some more. Just now, I have my very own nursery going with cedars, oaks and bodarks. Although Mary and I have been joking that we need to live to 150 at least to enjoy them as fully mature trees. 😉 But it’s really fun to see things growing. And to have accomplished something. The garden needs a lot of work still, but I’m getting to it. Slowly but surely.
Have a great Sunday and enjoy your garden and your porch,
Pit
P.S.: Later today I’m planning on posting some pictures of the new trees.

And how is it that you get so much blogging done when your mom and dad are gardening? Doesn’t their gardening require an excessive amount of computer usage? I’m really starting to think my moms didn’t need the computer to garden, but were just trying to keep it away from us!!
