Yard Shtuff

So. I met the neighbours across the street. Apparentely they're landscapers, so I asked a few questions. :P

(1) The tree in our front yard is a Gingko. Apparentely it turns bright yellow in the fall. :D

(2) Mom will understand this one. Those "bushes" by the driveway are actually Black-Eyed Susans! I needs to cut them down, so they can grow new stuff.

In other yard news, apparentely we have tulips, not irises. They're pink, red and white. Those WERE hyacinths in the front, and come in about 4-5 colours. Lots n' lots of daffodils, but they're all clumped together. I'll have to spread them out in the fall. They are pretty, though. :) We've got more bushes that I haven't identified, but the lilac I planted seems really happy, as do the roses. My rose hedge for the back fence should arrive next week. Yay! Oh, AND the seed-eating birds have finally arrived. Even the grackles are trying to eat my seed, though the feeder is meant for smaller birds and they have trouble balancing. Its funny. And the squirrel is still eating my lily bulbs. Bad squirrel. Um. If we figure anything else out, we'll post it. :)

No pictures this week. Camera is out of batteries.


In other news, Jasmine fell off the top nest of the kitty gym. She was being all cute and rolly-polly and didn't realise there was an edge. :P I caught her and broke her fall, though. Amazingly, she only gave me one little scratch. Silly kitty. She's playing with the other kitties now. All settled in. :)
