(not so) exciting realizations recently made

Realized this innocent look is just a front. All week, Mr. Innocent has been escaping the yard and spending his days with the boys next door, enjoying frappucinos (seriously... they give him frappucinos), playing baseball and watching movies on the couch. It was a pretty big secret around here until the boy's father filled us in on the little escape artist.



Realized that the very fragrant little purple Flowers that are threatening to take over are four o'clock. Very old fashioned, almost wild flower that I will never get rid of, so I might as well make the most of them. I'm devising plans to corral them.


I cant remember the name of this plant but its the one that grow into a ring around the tree.... I rescued this on the side of the road after someone had dug it up and put it out for the trash. I went back for more later, but they were all taken. Looks like it has taken to its new spot. Realized this week it is growing.



Realized I have one lone Daylilly growing in my back yard. How long has it been here? Why Hadn't I seen it before?


Mother in law started me a new Zebra plant after I realized mine was dead. Master Gardener that I am, left mine outside last winter and, shockingly, three snow events was just too much for it to overcome.
