Green Thumb Sunday - June 27, 2010

I've barely begun a Garden Tour post (from last Sunday's tour). We've so enjoyed this busy week, as we "hosted" the visit of two grandchildren from out-of-town. Here's one taking a peek at Susan-scare-the-birds.

And a peek from behind! :-)

In the top photo you're seeing Obedient Plant (right side) and 'Strawberry Candy' daylily on the left. 'Custard Candy' is peeking out from behind - way out in the Woodland Walk. :-)

Wonky

(Miriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary: 1. Brit: Unsteady, shaky)

This little retaining wall/collection of oddities including recycled chunks of sidewalk does its job, looks rather quaint (if you will), but don't try walking on it without knowing that it's precipitous (and Wonky)!!

Trying hard to keep up with this meme.
