Amazing

A

I've admired the people that have taken the challenge by "Mrs. Nesbitt" to create a post every Tuesday (Every Tuesday??) on the succession of the letters of the alphabet. So, I'm going to try this. We'll see how I do. Perhaps I won't be as dedicated as I hope to be... but we'll see. ;-)

Aster
This is Aster 'Alert'

The photo was taken in September 2008, just after the plant was put in the Raised Bed gardens. It's too shady here for its liking, as it didn't perform well last Fall. Guess I'll see if I can make it happier somewhere else this Spring... in my neighbor's yard?? :-)

Adorable?

This is Susan-Scare-the-birds.
She's been featured here a couple of times before.
(click on the links, above and below, to read past posts)
Susan was employed shortly after we moved here, seven years ago.
She's been such a faithful garden friend...
proving herself to be as tender-hearted as she is "tough!"
:-)

Both of these photos were taken in August 2008.
You'll just have to visit the links
to understand why the costume change. lol.

Susan has held her post for quite some time. She's ready for retirement.



Artistry

Lately, some of my local gardening friends and I have begun work
on new "Scare-the-bird" gardening friends.

To say we're stretching our imaginations is an understatement! ha.

Watch for later posts... perhaps in mid-February.

That's the best I can do for today. My first ABC post. Visit Mrs. Nesbitt to see who else is participating. :-) Have a great weekend.
