One of my plants that I love, are these incredibly yellow lilies. Their leaves are so beautiful too, with the small white flecks. Every year, they spring up in a large clump right outside my bedroom window. It always feels like a huge bouquet of flowers just for me. They are just starting out for […]

Day 281 – Back Deck Bench
It’s a lovely sunny morning with a blue sky. Lots of birds, and lots of flowers around.
Day 279 – Back Deck Bench
I’ve sat out on my back deck in the sun for at least an hour. It’s the most beautiful sunny day, and it just feels so calm and peaceful. The baby apples on the apple tree are coming along well.
Day 264 – Front Deck Bench
Wow! I just saw a big snake. I’m not sure what type of snake it is, but I avoid all snakes whether I know if they’re poisonous or not. I was surprised to see it because it wasn’t particularly sunny and it’s kind of late in the day.
Day 251 – Front Deck Bench
The frogs are still in the field across the street. It’s rained pretty much all week. My garden is full of flowers. My favourite rose bush is getting its first rose buds for the season.
Day 249 – Back Deck Bench
A little group of blue wrens have moved into our backyard. I don’t know if you can hear them in the recording, but they’re here right now. There’s one male and three females, and we keep saying the same birds every day now. They really are the sweetest little birds. You can see them ‘talking’ […]
Day 244 – Front Deck Bench
I came out to the front deck today just because I wanted to listen to the frogs. They have set up camp in the field across the road from my house. All the recent rain has made a puddle there.t They’re really quite loud. I can hear them from my bedroom at night. The garden […]
Day 233 – Back Deck Bench
Last night and today it has rained constantly. There’s frogs in the puddle behind my back fence once again. There’s been big floods in many parts of the state, and I can’t wait to go down and check the river tomorrow morning. Everything here is wet. There’s water droplets everywhere and the rain is still […]
Day 232 – Back Deck Bench
This photo captured the moment for me. A big storm is coming. They are forecasting a big rain event for tomorrow and flood warnings have been issued. It’s warm, humid and still out here. The clouds are low, dark and ominous. A flock of ibis’ passed silently overhead, across the only brighter patch in the […]
Day 231 – Back Deck Bench
I’ve had a busy day, and I’m just taking a minute to sit out here in the sun before I go in to get dinner. I was sitting here and I closed my eyes, and I could hear three main sounds. I could hear a fly buzzing around on the back deck. I can hear […]
