I went around the block following festive lights. This is the side yard of the holiday house. The sign in the window is for the Bates Motel, No Vacancies.

When I brought my colocasia in for the season, I split off a couple of babies to share with my cousin and my nephew. As they sat by the back door, new growth happened and, because they were in the shade, they grew green. They need light to get black. When there was a stretch of warm days, I put them on the stoop and watched them turn. I thought you’d get a kick out of this.

I brought them in last night because we’re having another temperature drop. This is the final photo.

Chuck planted it to be a wall when there was a labyrinth there. But, the squirrels always beat us to the nuts and it’s a pain to manage. There are redbuds and maples volunteering where we can’t control them. I have given away one bush and cut down 2 more in order to open up the view of the flower bed that’s in the center.
That flowerbed’s a mess and I’m disassembling that, too. I moved the hibiscus today and my thighs are mad about it.
I always mean to do better keeping up the yard. But, when it gets hot, I lose all my good intentions. So, this cool season, I’m going to do my best to create something that is realistically manageable.
I’ve offered as much of the branches as any re-enactor wants to come take away to a friend who does living history for a living. She has been told that she is welcome to offer to people she knows who may want some. I trust her not to hand out my address to loons.
