Electric Garden
The cherry tomato has been the only super productive plant and it gives us enough for a taste at every meal plus some to bring to Dad.
Staying home more I have learned so much more appreciation for the garden.
Both Bob and I have gotten into the habit of sitting out there with a book. I’m getting more familiar with the individual sounds of the birds and their funny habits. I try to keep the birdbath refreshed for them.
It’s starting to wind down. I know there are potatoes but not 100% sure where they are located. A few carrots and beets.
A lot of Cucurbita.

Backyard Menagerie
The camera arrived on the 24th and I’ve had a couple of nights where the card went haywire or my camera positioning was doodoo. This is the cast of characters I’ve identified with some guessing.
(Seriously, this is one of the best toys I’ve ever gotten. I knew we had animal activity back there but no idea it was like this.)
This is Noah from next door.
Toes also from next door. There have been other cats that have shown up but were too far off for me to identify with certainty. I need one of those systems like on CSI where I can ENHANCE! ENHANCE FURTHER!
This is Pogo. I’ve only gotten him on camera a couple of times.
This is Mama. I am not clear whether she has been back through. I haven’t identified her in any of the other photos.
Here’s Heckle and Jeckle again. They’ve shown up several nights but not always close to the camera. I need to start a spreadsheet with the dates and times and who shows up. You know, for science.
And this is Rocket. He’s kind-of beat up looking. Poor old guy.
It’s a Wild Wild Life
This is my super-pro set up for my wildlife cam. I can easily move this table around and I have been trying it in different spots around the yard.
I re-activated my Instagram account and have been posting wildlife photos. I don’t know how long I’m going to last. [Rant about social media omitted.]
I’ll try to update the cast of backyard wildlife regulars here later this weekend.
These two are Heckle and Jeckle. I surmise that they are young ones, offspring of Mama?
The bucket has water in it. Sometimes they don’t touch it. Last night there was some pooltime action.
