Me just being me has all manner of experiments in various stages in my house and in our garden as well. Meet Mr. Onion Face!
So after 10 days of having my Mr. Onion Face on the counter, it was time to take farewell photos before the trip to the compost bin. Plus the gnats and smell is not very appealing.
The rotting tomatoes adds a little flair to the picture.
Time for the next phase for Mr. Onion Face. Let me introduce you to Seymour, our compost bin. Goodbye, dear friend.
Enjoy your day!
We love carrots!
In addition to the health benefits of carrots, they also dazzle me. The carrots above look to be dancing under water.
Purple carrots are a garden novelty and taste great. 
Lucca is a great little helper!
I found another neat carrot combo.
We have a few more carrots in the garden. I hope they bond before I harvest.
Enjoy your day!
This year's winner of the House Category at the World Architecture Festival is located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The judges said of their selection: "This tall thin house on a narrow plot is a holistic piece of architecture...that is a simple yet elegant solution to a common problem in developing cities and offers an easily repeatable typology. It deals elegantly with issues of security, privacy, climate and light in a poetic yet economical way".
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has designated October as National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. More than three million dogs are currently in shelters across the United States and are in need of a good home. The month-long observance encourages animal lovers all across the nation to raise awareness about the positive aspects of adopting a pet from a shelter.
Yesterday I saw my first vapourer male moth hanging out on a rose-bush.
I think this is the ‘peacock’ of all male caterpillars that I have seen in my life to date.
A warning about the pretty vapourer moth is do not touch to your skin. The hairs can cause mild irritation to most people.
Nature never fails to amaze me.
Enjoy your day!
Turtles are on the top of my list of favorite reptiles. We have many turtles living all around our little spot called home and apparently they love tomatoes as much as I.
He does not look very pleased to have me taking his photo but I cannot help myself from capturing great pictures.
He hung around as I gathered the ripe or ripening tomatoes. He hissed a little when I picked him up for a photo. I returned him to dine on the best of the tomatoes in my garden.
Enjoy your day!
Well now I have!
While working on a clients deck remodel I discovered a neat friend to photograph. There are over 50 varieties of stick bugs.
I need the wheel barrow to transport materials. I grab the closest twig and she or he quickly latched to it only to fall on a piece of decking scrap.
I am happy to have met this neat fellow.
Enjoy your day!
Core Glow photoluminescent pebbles provide an interesting, almost ethereal feature to outdoor design. When the eco-friendly pebbles are exposed to light sources, (solar or otherwise) the special light capturing pigment within them becomes chemically excited and will 'glow' once that light source is removed. The luminescent material is a multi-activated, highly efficient powder cultivated from the earth, that enables light-storing with a long afterglow.
