Humid outside. Actually cooling down. Dark clouds rolling ouver the mountains. Absolutely fantastic! Nothing pressing to do today. Decided to putter outside. Orange cat was lounging on the fence. She is so beautiful. Likes to preen and fluff herself out like a peacock.
I don't think she saw the hummingbird that zoomed in over her head...........
But I did take a look at the grape vines. Have been coaxing them to leaf for weeks. And today, they obliged. Just starting out....all pink like newborn babies. Just wait, they will explode in a couple of days. The looming thunderstorm will see to that.
Orange cat DID see Little Black and White cat on the other side of the gate.
Little Black a White cat promptly plopped himself down to watch her. She didn't like that much.
Not too sure about this little cat. Extremely friendly....he is always trying to get into the house, and the garage. We just shoo him away. I get the feeling that he is neglected somewhat. His fur is not all that great.. But he does not act like a feral cat. The neighbours and I give him treats off and on, but he's not thin. Just seems to like to spend time up here on the hill. He likes to sleep in the neighbour's zucchini patch and by their back door. He sits on the fence and carries on a conversation that would challenge the best telemarketer. Needless t say, Orange Cat took a flying leap off the fence and toddled away, while Little Black and White cat swished his tail and watched. Then he went back to wherever he came from.
I remember ,once ,in the winter seeing him trail through the snow, all the way up the hill to the laurel hedge on the side. His fur was matted with snow and ice, but he was still as pleasant as can be when we gave him treats. I watched for that little cat, afterwards.....he must have sat there for ages, staring at all the little birds, before disappearing somewhere. A survivor,that's what he is. He never complains.
Then, before the thunderstorm, I plunked in somemore geraniums into the greenhouse. Found my old brass container, planted it. Had that thing for years, and it just seems to wear on and on.
Clematis is now fully bloomingn the greenhouse.
Passion flower is close to blooming. The pods are ready to pop.
Love the fern that grows and grows in the side of the door.............
Replanted the Lo and Behold Buddleia and it likes the bigger pot.
Patio tree holds court at the front....It looks like a fuzzy ball.
And alway strawberries, strawberries all over. Flowering now. Yellow strawberries. What a great day. Nice to watch the grass grow, and have no deadlines. Nice to watch the fur fly.
