Nature, here I come!

You ever want to fence in your yard?  Sometimes you want both, to fence in your yard and still be able to say hello to the neighbor.  Or maybe you just can't afford a fence.  Here is your solution.  Mexican Petunia's.  They are just beautiful.  They have purple flowers, they grow bushlike and the best part, they spread.  I had some in my garden from last year.  This year I'm riddled with them.  So, I've been separating them and planting them as a hedge between the neighbor.  At first it was looking like I had funny little weeds over there.  Something you needed to mow down.  But add a little water and you almost instantly get  flowers.  It's going to be a pretty little area.  It has my birdbath, bird feeder, hummingbird feeder and the little bird houses with chimes that I just painted.  It's a virtual bird sanctuary.  The hummingbird feeder even draws bees (which are great for the garden) and butterflies.  and the other bird feeder is loved by the peacocks.  The whole family just sits under it waiting for the squirrels to knock the food down.  I couldn't chase them out if I wanted to.  Unfortunately a lot of the area right now is under water, and with another thunderstorm (YAY) on the way, it looks like it's gonna be swamp land for a while.  and another thing with the rain coming I don't have to water the Mexican Petunia's.  I love nature.
