Nature Stuff

(Too long without a post. Life interrupts sometimes I reckon.)

Isn't nature interesting. I sat on the deck reading for about 2 hours the other day, all the while keeping an eye on a spider as it built a web. It was neat to watch, and some of the questions I had about how they did certain things with the web are now answered. The next day, I took a photo of the spider sitting on the tomato post. Check this thing out. It's back looks like a face. How cool is that.

















And I guess all that rain we finally got brought these to the yard. (Are these mushrooms or toadstools?) There's a nice trail going from my yard right up into the neighbor's. Never had mushrooms growing in the yard before.

















Here is my first full-size tomato. It came off the container plant. Don't know why it split a bit at the top like that, but it was still good. Used it on the hubby's sandwiches.


And every morning, with the exception of the day after mowing, my yard is filled in spots with morning glories. There are white ones, purple ones and every shade of blue. In all that, this is my favorite one. I have yet to find another vine with this combination on it. This has been moved to a spot near my deck in the hopes it will grow up the post.

(It has been nearly a week since I last posted. I am hanging my head in shame.)

I love it when the moon is still showing in the morning. Even when it's not full, it's beautiful; the sky lightening up, the moon framed by trees......

(My favorite of the colors I found today)

Then I discovered some beautiful morning glories growing in the area we recently had cleared. Since we will be keeping it mowed down, they won't be around long. So, I took some photos then pulled some up and transplanted them by the back deck. I'm hoping they take hold.

(My second favorite)

There were also some pretty white ones, but I couldn't get to those. But the blues were so nice on their own.

Good Morning Monday.
