Garden Updates
Before I post the photos from the garden, let me share the wisest words one might find in an about.com article:
Privacy fences work in both directions. Firstly, they screen out unpleasant external sights and sounds that would otherwise impinge upon the senses. Secondly, privacy fences screen your movements from the prying eyes of neighbors.
It isn't a question of needing to "hide" anything behind privacy fences. It's just that few of us want to live under a microscope. Even good neighbors don't enjoy feeling obligated to wave "Hello" every time they step outside, as if needing permission before continuing on their business.
Precisely! As I watch my shrubs fill in, I know that one day I shall have a more private backyard. At the moment, I'm planning for evergreens: what kinds and where to put them. I have nice neighbors, but I also long for an outdoor sanctuary!
Enough of that. The following photos are a couple of weeks old, but I'm just getting around to sharing.
Here is Clare, showing off our first tomato. We've had a number of them in the last week or so. If I could grow only one thing in a vegetable (okay, or fruit) garden, it would be the tomato.
Usually, our feathered visitors are robins, sparrows, cardinals, finches and the like. Here is a photo of some more exotic visitors. Woodpeckers! They poked a hole in the poor maple, but it appears to be mending well.
Speaking of more exotic birds, the following two photos were taken from our backyard, through our neighbor's yard. (A sight we would have missed, if our neighbors had privacy shrubs. I know!) We could hear the birds in the wooded area making lots of agitated sounds. John investigated and noticed a hawk! That would make smaller birds nervous. It was sitting on the ground for the longest time. Steve got out his binoculars and learned that it was eating a rabbit. Well, the circle of life.
Here's a close-up.
We've heard the hawk, from time to time. It makes an awful, wheezing sort of sound. However, it is a beautiful bird. It is marvelous to watch, as it flies over our own garden.
