Lecturing them has proved futile.... Have fun with the pigeons - are they the ones that make really messy nests, like a pile of sticks? We had them on our balcony and every time they laid two eggs, they fell through the nest onto the ground.

We have more success here than in two previous homes, because the rose garden has good drainage and gets plenty of afternoon sun. However, our rose bushes only have a few blooms at one time. I thought the painting would look good with the blue, and am pleased with the result. At the moment I am in the nostalgic phase, I think.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-57426788904158952462016-08-18T23:16:13.949-07:002016-08-18T23:16:13.949-07:00Oh, they are too, Sheri, now I remember your roses...Oh, they are too, Sheri, now I remember your roses too.

I wonder what the future holds too. Our trees and flowers often do bloom out of season these days. Yes, the lad is nearly as tall as me!

Or must we just get used to out-of-season warm spells? Will flowers bloom several times a year? We know global warming isn't good for polar bears, but what else will happen? I don't know of the consequences.<br /><br />I don't understand the Pokemon crazy either, but has taken over the world.<br /><br />Little Aussie is getting very tall!
