A Good Orange

 Howie and I were enjoying our

morning ritual today under the pergola 

and I look over to my right.

(forgot to show this part yesterday)

This is the walkway behind the 

enclosed porch and the open porch,

 and follows around

to the south side of house.

I spied some orange!

The good kind, not the menace. 

These were not open yesterday.

 I'm over the moon.

I never thought it would work

 so I planted a bunch in too small of space

 assuming maybe one would live.

So I'll either have to train up or replant.

It's as if my green thumb 

long dormant has returned. I have tomato plants

and 1 green pepper.

(that project may be a failure)

Anyhoot I am so happy.

I have a half dozen of these guys 

that travel back and forth along the wall.

They sleep and hide behind my birdhouses.

Howie sees one and dead stops

as if he's a real pointer spaniel.

He watched us all through my coffee and juice.

My project list is growing.

I'm energized by the near completion

of yard, still want to paint the 

dog run fence and I may paint the front

 of the gate into the yard 

to match my front door. I think 

the pop of color will be good.

 I'll get some more posies and

24 bulbs coming soon. 

6 colors - 4 of each

They are a shorter variety

and will front all the beds

 on the side and partial back.

I also bought a fig tree

which everyone says 

won't make it, but I'm determined.

Mine will be in a pot

so that it can be moved to help it survive... hope

I have to paint re-touch bathroom,

 and kitchen cabinets, re-paint garage floor

and as always still purging down.

Got my taxes done yesterday

and returned 15 books to the library,

 and picked up another 12.

I'm on a roll!
