I know .. what is up with the title to this post .. I think I am in a bit of a hurry and couldn't really nail a perfect statement to go with the pictures .. but you will "get it" anyways !
That morning, yesterday ? the rare one I slept in .. 30 minutes later than usual .. I guess I missed hearing Emma's head butting the bedroom door .. in any case I literally ran with the camera to catch the PINK/ORANGE sky !
It was beautiful and stretched way back towards the western sky as well.
Then the "blue" wanted some sky time ... then ... it rained a little with cooler temps it has been such a relief ! Thank you weather gods ? haha
So .. hum ... my planter here has been doing some rather (blush) strange things .. What can I say .. when certain plants want to show off and multiply at the same time .. they just go ahead and DO IT !
I bought this planter at the beginning of the garden year and I love it .. I am taking it inside for the winter and I am going to try VERY hard not to kill the poor thing ;-)
Even the "hens" in the garden feel the need to show off as well ...
I keep taking pictures of the back garden because the front one NEEDS so much TLC it is scary!
We have had to listen to a lot of hammering and sawing with our neighbor having part of her fence and deck FIXED .. some of my plants have suffered a little for it too ..
But .. I can say a lot of the weeds were trampled too !

Those 'chicks' are awesome and not very shy I might add! Sure you don't want an update on the show?
Fun pics Joy, the new fence looks great. I like succulents in containers, so pretty. I find them too invasive in the garden though.
Whoa! Obviously those succulents are trying to impress you, Joy! I'm very impressed with the ones growing in your garden, though. Do they survive winter snows okay?
Fences definitely make good neighbors. That "after" shot looks amazingly improved. Love that first photo of the PINK flowers. The sky pics are nice too. ... So are you watching? I'm thinking it was Nikki. She escaped the facility, did the deed. Now is back, safe and sound. Tomorrow I'll think it's somebody else. If you aren't watching but want an update, I'll be glad to oblige. Hope you're feeling well.
Just look at those chicks! LOL! Girl I think I am the only one who can kill hens & Chicks. LOL!
I have woods on three sides of my house and a neighbor across the road who I wish would build a very tall fence. LOL! I am so bad. I should be honored that she copies everything I do. Right? LOL! I told my daughter I was going to put a commode in the yard and plant flowers in it to see if she would too and then take it away really fast. LOL! So your fence is not so bad and bedsides you probably have lovely neighbors.
Your chicks and hens are amazing in those planters.
Very cool sky shots. I'm always seeing neat sky shots but never have a camera with me.
Very pretty. Love your header pic. Glad you got some rain & cooler temps.
I really like the hens & chicks. Must try them again.
Beautiful container of hens and chicks. They've grown so well they're positively bursting. I would want to try and keep that container over winter as well, it's a wonderful centerpiece.
Lovely things happening in your garden. Yes, always look at the 'bright side of life.'
Your kitties are gorgeous.
