Loretta's New Area

The Lewis family gave me a "Knockout" rosebush to plant on top of Loretta. It just bloomed and it is indeed a knockout! The same kind of rose is planted on top of their little cat Lucy, who died just 4 days before Loretta. The Lewises were special friends of Lo; Jeannie knew her almost as long as I did.

Jeannie also made the lovely mosaic tile. Later on I'll take away most of the stones, but for now I'm making sure that no dogs or anything else dig up my little cat.





Above is the after; below is the before. The long hard freeze this winter killed off most of what was planted there and it needed a good makeover anyway. Hamilton doesn't know what all the fuss is about; he's just into the new catmint plant.

The Human Head Container (Scavenger Page "H")

This is page H from my "I am a Scavenger" sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project that I participated in earlier this year. Which reminds me that I have some pages to finish, and that I'd meant to post the whole thing here page by page at some point....I'll get to that (in all my spare time).

Gorey Beetle 2011, #1

The first Gorey Beetle sighting of 2011; found under the Human Head Container by the archway. Now I guess I better explain about that Human Head Container, too, or the law might show up at the door with questions.

Little Abode

See this little hole, so carefully built and established? Look, it is smaller than the tip of my finger (that is my index finger in a green gardening glove in the photo below). Who lives in there??

Wolfi

In the bedroom last night. I am convinced that the wolf spiders, which are plentiful always but especially in the last couple of years, help keep the brown recluses away, for which I am extremely grateful.

I Type, and Hamilton is in Charge of the Mouse

Apple is greater than money? What does this mean?
