Porch & Garden Accessories

T-Rex inhabits this garden where soldiers battle for their lives.

As last seen T-Rex had wiped out most of the soldiers.

LIFE BEGINS IN THE GARDEN

This beautiful  Sago Palm is not really a palm tree but an evergreen conifer of ancient origin.

Rabbit's Recovery Progresses

PLUMERIA

Getting ear drops the doctor prescribed into Rabbit's ears has not been easy.  I have to sneak them in while he is dozing.

When Rabbit wants to get somewhere fast he puts his ears back.  I guess it makes for better aerodynamics.

Here you can see where the mass on the right side of his neck (near his jaw) was removed.  It appears to be healing nicely.

This is Rabbit's left ear where a mass was excised and stitches were put in.  I hope it is healing properly.  So far I have not cleaned it since it has the dissolving stitches in it.

Rabbit never forgets which driveway leads to Betty's front door.

Betty's comfortable bench thanks to this beautiful cushion.  This is  where we sit and chat sometimes. 

Rabbit likes to get a drink of water from the hose when we get to Betty's house.  She keeps a water bowl handy and Rabbit is waiting for it to get filled.

Rabbit never learned how to use a doggy door (since we never had one) so he tries to get in through the screen.  Betty's inside on the phone.

Here comes Betty!

Crepe Myrtle leaves

Crepe Myrtle bark

An entire street of huge Ficus Benjamina trees were removed because of their invasive roots interfering with pipes, gas lines and foundations so the city replaced them all with lovely Crepe Myrtles.  I've noticed that the ones where the homeowners have put some protective area between the grass and the trunks grow better and survive longer .  Gardeners that use the grass trimming tool close to unprotected trees slice through the bark and often kill the trees or stunt their growth.
