This shot was taken on the way to the bear habitat while on the walking tour of Northwest Trek, which is a 700+ acre wildlife park near Eatonville, WA. One of the guys that was on the same tram ride that my mom and I were on actually gave me the title for this shot. Some little girl was wandering around without a shoe. Well, I ASSUME she was still wandering around without a shoe. I thought it made for a cute photo and my mother obliged by waiting patiently for me. She was getting used to it by then.
My weekend was a busy, but fruitful, one. Most of my fall yard clean-up is done, some outside projects mostly complete, new bushes planted and three trees transplanted. One of the projects was doggy proofing the backyard to prevent Buddy from digging under the fence to visit my new neighbor’s two Labs. Everytime he digs under, he moves a few feet over and digs up a different section of my daylilies, with some overlap. Hopefully they will survive, I keep replanting them. I think some of them will be coming up on my neighbor’s side of the fence, though. Hope she doesn’t mind!
About the only thing left is to plant the 80 tulip bulbs I bought, as well as a few other flower bulbs, plus finish securing my mini trellises to the fence, which I made by repurposing the stock panel that I bought to keep the dogs off the grass when it was planted last spring. I also want to create some small glass panels to insert in the trellis panels to help brighten them up – that will be a winter project. I probably could have gotten the bulbs planted, but when your leg AND arm muscles turn to mush and start quivering, you know it is time to stop for the day. Next spring I’ll buy some bark mulch to fill in the perimeter of the yard. It is finally starting to shape up.
How was your weekend??
