MISC. STUFF

Some pictures of recent things going on around the Murphy/Anderson residence. I will explain at each picture.

This is our Crab Apple tree in full bloom in the last week or so.  We are hoping it pollinated our Honey Crisp Apple tree which is near by.

This is the only shot I could get of an Indigo Bunting that visited one of our bird feeders.  He didn't stay long and I haven't seen him since.

This is my Cherry tree with some of the blooms still there.  It was really pretty white a few days ago and I didn't get the picture then.  Hope it has lots of cherries this year.

This is our Honey Crisp Apple tree in bloom.  If we get one apple for each two blooms it will be a good crop.

Pat and I went for a boat ride today.  She didn't want her picture taken, but I prevailed.  Looking good in my estimation.

After the boat ride today we sat on the deck for some libations.  This shows what the temperature was at the time.

Even though it wasn't real sunny, it was bright enough to make me squint.  Maybe I needed another libation. Pat took the picture and did a fine job.  Just had a poor subject to work with.

Flowers for 2020

This past Monday we got the flowers for in front of the house and yesterday we got the hanging basket flowers for the back side of the house.  Hope they do as good this year as in the past.  They are all set up with the drip watering system and just needing sunshine now.  Below are the pictures.


These are the type I get each year and re-pot them in this stand that was made for us by a very good friend.  Thanks again Chuck.

This is the pot that sits on the ground in front of the house where the Hostas are located.  You can see one starting to come up in the background.

One of the hanging baskets in the back.  That twig was left there by a Tree Swallow that perches on the Shepard's hook quite often.

Another hanging basket.  We always have one yellow one each year.

Another hanging basket.

And last but not least, another hanging basket in purple.
