Z Stands for Zowies!

And it stands for Zip,



As well as Zealous

However, this final post is Way Late!)

And it stands for Zoom!


It is the Zoom that I will employ here.

Meet Kopper King hibiscus. I introduced him into our raised beds three Springs ago... which means that this is his third growing season. He stands in a partly shady area. But, Tah! Dah!
I'm happy to announce that the King has begun to Rule!

He's going to bloom, and I'm going Zany! ha.

Zowies!!

He stands in partial shade, but
he's NOT shady! ;-)

Y Stands for Yum!

YUM!

(Which way do I go? Which way do I go?)

As you can see, our neighbors' mulberry tree was loaded with berries!

YUM! YUM!

That was three weeks ago.

There are no more berries to be had.

(We do have some chubby squirrels, though!)

X is for eXcited! :-)

Wonky

(Miriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary: 1. Brit: Unsteady, shaky)

This little retaining wall/collection of oddities including recycled chunks of sidewalk does its job, looks rather quaint (if you will), but don't try walking on it without knowing that it's precipitous (and Wonky)!!

Trying hard to keep up with this meme.
