Cute drawing from a certain someone...

While I was outside in the gorgeous Fall afternoon that was Sunday..I decided to show off my vintage paper skeletons hanging on my front windows..cute eh??

All old, all garage sale all $1 each. LOVE THEM..

Then theres the yard, in all her colorful glory. Im glad BobVillas got the day off of being mailman on Tuesday, so he can don the cape of super yardman...The leaves, people..they are a fallin.Gorgeous though..The walk with scary ghost..Front yard and these CROWS that have been menacing me for a few days now. They come and eat in my yard like its the finest restaurant in town. It kind of makes me feel a little uneasy, these fellas..Sometimes theres 100, swear. CAW CAW..even sometimes a little meow, these crows, why do they love me so?? honestly a bird that meows??Wonderful photo of our Flag flying in the crisp Fall breeze. A reminder of what this country is all about..NOTHING makes me prouder than to see this fly in my yard.

Now this, here is something that this very strange man "Cisco Morris" the gardener on our local (Seattle) tv station says we can do..BV and I decided.."what the hell" A free hydrangea..we will try it. Here you see the handsome and handy BV standing by a very huge and overgrown hydrangea bush in our yard. Hi Bob!

So, Cisco says..cut a stem of the hydrangea off at the woody part.trim all the little new buds off.. then poke the woody stem down into the ground passed where you cut the little buds off.

Then there you go..so he says..Walk away, leave the hydrangeas stems till the spring..

I know, they seem a little scared and lonely..
Ill come and visit little starter bushes, I promise!

try it! Cisco will love ya for it.

and who wouldnt like a free hydrangea??
