Long time, no pics, Pic spam 1 of 2

[feng_shui_house]

Today I'm doing pretty darn good. I wrote some on the DV story which I HOPE will somehow miraculously wind up having an ending. I patched up as many mouse holes in Bernie as I could find & did some other little yard chores, including weaving some more branches into the living bench- at the rate I'm not moving, it'll be grown enough for people to sit on before I go. I can already sit on it, but I know where my butt won't break though.



One sunset was nice and breezy and cool, so I pulled up the blinds and opened the windows. Bonnie was so pretty I took some snaps.



I found this in the yard today after I patched more mouse holes in Bernie and then went 'round to the horribly overgrown weed patch near the stoop I made because I need to scrape loose cement off & patch it, too. AND saw THIS.

Baby pineapple! How it survived the drought is because it's planted directly beneath the only A/C I used. I watered it today, and will have to do the weeding soon.

Strawberries and loquats- the cool weather and drought seem to have agreed with the loquats. The tree hasn't got a LOT, but all of them are very sweet. They taste a bit like Bartlett pears, only MORE flavor and more sweet.

The orchid tree has lots of faces. Here are two of them.

Wow, that's an amazing picture of Bonnie. They're all quite amazing, but yes. ::loves::

Thank you. :^) I love sunset pics because the lighting is magic.

[ultrapsychobrat.livejournal.com]

Oh, Bonnie is so pretty! Love found faces.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Bonnie is very hard to capture photographically, so I seize any chance of showing her off properly.

The orchid tree is so full of faces I can pick and choose the easiest to recognize ones. The second one used to have a branch sticking out at the right place to be a lollipop stick. :^)

Lovely Bonnie!

Those strawbs look good!

Patching mouse holes in Bernie? What's Bernie? I know you had a cat called that once because I put him in a story. A statue or something?

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Bonnie is still lovely- she's a very *solid* cat, too. I like a cat with a bit of meat on its bones.

The strawberries are good! The loquats are better. I like to pick them and eat them one at a time, right under the tree.

Bernard is the bear statue I made from scraps of cement. At the time I hadn't thought it mattered if it had any holes in it- little did I know it would become a mouse hotel.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ah. I wondered if it was the bear.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Yes, Bear Hard= Bernard. :^)

The faces are great, especially the first one - looks like an Aztec!
OOOOoooo...strawberris, ooooooo...loquats and oooooo that pretty pineapple.
And mrrrrrr...Bonnie!
Also that big fly is amazing, how did you persuade her to stay there?

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

The fly liked it on the banana. I felt kinda bad afterward when I SQUASHED her with the swatter, but sorry fly, you fly in the house you are not my friend you are an intruder!

Oh Bonnie looks pretty like that.

I've never seen a pineapple growing before, did you plant it deliberately or was it an accidental fruit?

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

I did actually plant the top (not just the leaves, down to about the top 2 inches of the fruit) of a pineapple deliberately. I didn't think it would ever bear fruit, but I thought it would be an interesting plant. I don't remember how long ago I planted it. Maybe 2 years ago? Or three.

Beautiful photo of Bonnie. And I love the tree faces - fantastic. :o)

Thanks. :^)
