The Garden Etceteras



I had high hopes that birds would set up housekeeping in the little houses on the fence. A sparrow peeked in once; have you ever seen a sparrow snicker? Well, he did.
Some creature gnawed on the entrance to one house so perhaps a squirrel was momentarily distracted--or teething.



I placed an artful assortment of watering cans upright on on this hanger but the squirrels made a game of knocking them to the ground so now they are tucked in spout-first so the rodents have to find their amusement elsewhere.



Water barrels aren't pretty but such a life-saver during the dry times.

Alas, the season was too dry for my acorn squash to develop. Next year baby, we might have just the right amount of rain.
