Just off of the porch and a few feet away is a small tree with this glass and metal, bird feeder acorn. It hangs here year round but I think this is a good time to feature it here. Acorns are a special interest to me and are a big part of fall decorating, especially inside. Hopefully, in a day or two I will post a few pictures from a couple of inside rooms.</div>

<h3>
When you live in central Florida you don't experience some of the signs of Autumn. We have been having many days this month with record high temperatures. So our fall does not depend on weather. By now though, we normally would be enjoying cooler days pretty regularly. I make a point of noticing other things and make the best of those. They usually have to do with color.</h3>

Inside it has looked like fall for a few weeks. I pack up "summer" and put out a lot of fall decorations. This open book is all I am showing from inside today. If you are like me and are a picture person more than a reading person as regards to magazines you would love this book. It is Southern Lady Magazine's Collector's issue - Autumn In The South. Beautiful, beautiful pictures here! This opening is displayed on a small table in my sitting room.</div>

This little squirrel was so busy trying to decide where to hide his acorn for winter that he didn't seem to be concerned with me and my camera. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he doesn't really need to hide food for later, there should be plenty for all, then too! They don't have big, thick fur coats and big bushy tails - not really needed in our winter weather!</div>

This may make you feel sorry for me, but don't. I have had tons of leaves fall in the yard already and have raked them up and got rid of them. They continue to fall but none are pretty leaves! So, I scatter a few artificial ones on my little front porch and down the walk.</div>

Yesterday I put one of my favorite plants, Lemon Verbena, up on this birdbath. The birds never seem to use this one and I like the way the plant looks here. I will just need to watch and not let it sit in water too long. At the beginning of summer I had two small Verbena plants (not to be confused with the ornamental with the same name) but one died. This one is almost like a sprawling vine and was partly lying on the ground. </div>

It is not a favorite because of the way it looks (has no significant blooms) but because of its use. Because of its fragrance and the way lemon verbena tea tastes.</div>

I use two handful's, stems and all to steep in hot water, along with one bag of black tea and one of mint. When I have plenty of fresh mint growing I use just a sprig or two of it instead of the tea bag. If you don't have Trader Joe's peppermint tea you may want to use two bags of your brand or it could be left out. I just recently discovered this kind and it is so fresh and pungent! The best I have ever had. The same thing can be said of the black tea bags I now use..........</div>

PG tips from England is the best ever! I had to cut down on the amount I used because it has such a rich strong flavor. My son-in-law is from England and this is his daily tea of choice. It is sold at Publix on their International isle. After steeping, I add about a third cup of sugar, optional. The lemon verbena is a sweet lemon.</div>

There was one small pinecone already in place and I added two more in the crevasse of the old stump. The jar is complete with a glass lid. I have had it so long I no longer remember where it came from.</div>

I promised on the last post to show something a little different this time. Do you remember the old white chair? I have not shown it for a long time. I use to do posts occasionally with the chair in the garden, set up with special accessories. Today might be the first of a second series of "The Old White Chair". </h3>

<h3>
July and August are not the favorite gardening months in central Florida - zone 9b. Because of the heat and humidity, often too much or not enough rain, it can be quite difficult for both garden and gardener. So far, my summer garden is looking better than some past years. But I am definitely looking forward to the time for our good fall season to begin.</h3>

This was a great sight for me one morning this week. I knew that a nearby area had been the recipient of a lot of these Chinese beetles, hoping they will get rid of the much unwanted, air potato plants. That happened a year ago. I have talked on here about my next door neighbor's air potato "plantation" which makes it a real challenge for me not to have the same kind of "plantation". They are making his leaves look like a sieve so, I hope it will be the answer. Just so they don't start eating my pretty chartreuse sweet potato vine too!</div>

<h3>
Several of my recent posts have been a little on the colorless side so, it's time to bring in some color. For myself, I don't need a lot of bright color to be content. I tend to go for neutrals with just a pop of color in decorating, dressing etc. In fact, I often think bright colors can sometimes look cheap. I use to agree with Martha Stewart that there is no place in the garden for bright reds. I have pretty much gotten over that and have quite a bit of red. After spending several years trying to get my color scheme to grow here in this garden, I threw the color plan away and decided I will like ANYTHING that will survive, no matter what the color! I had a white sand lot here and still pretty much do but with amending the soil and trying many different plants, I now have plenty of healthy plants and plenty of color......</h3>

One of my newer ones is Blue daze in this big pot. So far it is doing great. This picture shows about half of it. It is really becoming a "spiller" but the bottle brush plant in the middle is slow in being the "thriller".</div>

Butterflies help me out with color. I see several kinds on a regular basis all year long. The swallowtails are probably my favorites for color. This is the Eastern Tiger and I see the Eastern Black, too.</div>

I have a hard time getting any good sharp pictures this year. They just will not be still long enough. This one is feeding on a Blue Plumbago. I have a new White Plumbago too. By the way, White is one of my favorite colors.</div>

Not much color here but, wanted to show this before the next picture which is of the flower in the pot. I have had this plant in this same pot for at least twenty-five years. It is my oldest plant. Here, where the pot is sitting, is an indented area made by hard rain running off of the valley of the roof above. I will have a pool of water for a few days after one of our inch or more rainfalls in a short time. It was a problem area because the nearby mulch would be all out of place and float. This spring I hauled these egg rocks and lined the pool and I love the result. I didn't mean to show it until I bring about two more bags, but decided to go ahead and show since it is taking me so long to get it finished.</div>

..........My garden has more shade than sun but, some days, mostly early mornings, even the shady areas are dappled with bright sun spots. I just love to see how the sun lights certain areas and often just one plant or garden ornament. This is what I am featuring today. Nothing that a lot of you haven't seen before - just shown in a special light. But first, especially for any newcomers, let me show a couple of long shots........</h3>

There are 3,600 species. They need warmth to fly and often land when the sun is behind a cloud. They range in size from 1" to 5". I haven't seen one quite 5" but some almost that big. They lay their eggs in water and it takes 3-5 weeks for them to hatch. One reason I love to have them in my yard is because they eat mostly mosquitos. They have a life span of a year or slightly older. </div>

Before posting I always review and try to correct mistakes. I found I had put "from 1" to 5' for the size range. Thank heavens I noticed that. I'm not sure I would want to see a 5 foot long dragonfly!!</div>

Another familiar sight that I love. Squirrels are very interesting to watch and interact with. We have three species in Florida but the Eastern Gray is the one I see. The other two are the Fox Squirrel and Southern Flying. They love Oaks and hickory trees. I have both of those.</div>

Several kinds of butterflies visit. This White Peacock is not seen as often as some of the others. They are among the easiest to photograph. They spend a lot of time sitting on the ground which makes about all my pictures look the same. This picture is placed out of order but, I am not taking time to locate it again so it can just hang out with the birds.</div>

I probably need to get some kind of indoor project going that will take up a lot of time! With our summer heat, although there is still much to do, my working outside has slowed down a lot. While I still have plenty of plants and flowers in bloom, I am not out there taking as many pictures. So, today I went a little crazy with some photographs inside. Hence, the title - A Random and Strange Assortment.......</h3>

I have had this on the wall for some time but, I don't think it has ever been shown. It is an oval china lid that once must have fit a special oval dish. I saw it in a local antique store and thought it had some possibilities. I put the sprig of flowers on it, tying it on using the ribbon through an open handle which is hard to see in the picture. Actually, the whole thing is cuter than the picture shows.</div>

Another one of my favorite yard structures with the resident chameleon in place. Almost every ornament has one. They stay pretty close to the same area all the time. I think they wait for me to come take their picture! And, I am always happy to oblige. I like the way the pencil cactus forms a square grid here.</div>

<h3>
All my life I have been drawn to and like miniature things that closely resemble large, real ones. Many years ago I started buying tiny kitchen items. I have no idea what came first. But, slowly I added on, one or two things at a time until over the years I had quite a collection of cute little things. At one point I found an old, wooden, open-shelf miniature cabinet and it was the perfect thing to display all those small items on in the large, country kitchen I then had. When I moved to this house the cabinet and collection came with me but they ended up being stored in the garage - just not enough room in my small kitchen for everything. </h3>
<h3>
About a week ago something reminded me of the little kitchen things and I started a search in the garage. Yes, they were still there. As time went by I got rid of some of the stored things so I was glad these weren't gone. I washed them up and put them on display for just a little while on my small island.......</h3>

I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures. Maybe next time I will move it on out in the big yard to photograph and might get sharper images. I replaced all the "grass", a big improvement. I wish I could do that in the big yard! For anyone seeing for the first time you will notice scale is not something I have paid a lot of attention to.</div>

I am the "queen" of close-up photos and seldom take a picture across the yard. I usually don't like the ones I do take, mainly because of no depth perception everything looks like a jumbled blur and a mess. But, I decided to show a few of the shady back yard where I spend most of my time when I am outside. Starting just outside the screened porch door and looking slightly to the left......</h3>

.........I have been enjoying the lily season this spring! About three weeks ago I saw the swelling of "a" low bud on one of my four Crinum lilies. That is a happy sight! The next day there was the same on a second plant. It takes some patience because it was about a week later before I found this on a very tall stem......</h3>

At this stage it looked like the color might be much darker than last year's and they did open to be darker at first and then lightened up to the beautiful peachy pink color.</div>

I have shown gloriosa lilies several times on posts but, the plants have multiplied and I have more blooms than ever before - in two locations. They are vining plants and need something to hang on to. Here they are using a potted Little John Azalea.</div>

I love their exotic, old-fashioned look. And, also the contrast of the dark azalea and the lilies. I'm not sure Little John likes them clinging so much to him! They really wrap their twining tendrils tightly, all over the place. I am surprised none are showing in these pictures. </div>

<h3>
............ Bicycles are no longer just for pedaling. They are now also being "petaled" - with flower petals. I had several people on the lookout for an inexpensive bicycle that I could park in my backyard as an ornament with flowers in the basket. I have collected over 600 pictures of those on my Pinterest board called "Bicycles". But none had been found for my yard until one day I made the request on Facebook and within about five minutes I was told by a niece that she had one that I could have. She had found it in front of a house with a "free" sign on it. Although it looks fairly new, Laura said it would take too much to put it back into riding condition. So after waiting a couple of years, my desire has now been fulfilled and a shiny red bike with its basket of flowers is sitting in the backyard. </h3>

This basket was in the garage, not being used so, I brought it out and wired it to the bicycle. It is the second one that I tried and is the best choice for planting. Speaking of planting, it may take some experimenting to find the best plant for this purpose. </div>

This area of the backyard was the most needy as far as being lacking in plants and interest. Right here, but not in the picture, some ginger plants are just returning for their new season. Until they grow the bike is kind of alone except for some hickory nut trees. This has been an area where even weeds don't grow very well and the ground is almost bare - a problem area. I may add another basket with additional plants to the back of the bike.</div>

..........this, my British crown up high on a 4 x 4 which is in the ground. It gives me an excuse to brag a little about my new blog banner which includes this picture. Did you notice it there?

My daughter is also the reason I have the crown. While she was living in London she got it for me, knowing I had passed up the chance to get one on my first trip over there and had regretted it. I was so surprised and so pleased when she gave me this one, later on.</div>

...........Ever since seeing a picture of a potting table made with two pallets, I have wanted one. And, now I have it! My daughter helped me get the pallets and I hauled them home and did the work. I am pleased with how it turned out and it helps to make an ugly wall less ugly.........</h3>

Between the little patio just outside my screened porch and the short wall was a neglected narrow strip of soil, overgrown with Boston ferns and a small, somewhat dilapidated, wood and metal trellis. Nothing to detract from the unattractive wall. </div>

First, I filled all cracks, small holes and seams with wood filler. I bought a cup size thinking I would have some left over. It took all of it and about half of a second one, not so much for a smooth look but to make it as moisture tight as possible. Wood out in our moist climate will not last long. Painting this thing was a real chore, I'm telling you! Pallets have two sides of open boards and getting the inside of the boards painted was no easy task. That was needed for the look as well as again, trying to preserve the wood. I ended up with paint all over me including in my hair. After painting I positioned the two back to back and secured them together on the sides with a narrow metal strip with holes for screws. After pulling up all the ferns I put three 16 inch stepping stones over the ground where the structure stands. That was for securing a level place and also to keep the wood from standing on wet soil. After getting it in place the next thing was to put three stepping stones (12") on the top. The weight of those helps to hold the unit in place. If I had children around (with a tendency to climb) I would want to secure it better. With everything in place including a new plant in the ground to the right, I thought I would enjoy sitting in this little area and borrowed a chair from another part of the garden.</div>

Do you see the two yard stakes with glass candle holders near the azalea bush? I brought them out from the garage for use here. The little iron bird piece with hooks has been on this wall for years with the little garden tools hanging on it. It was perfect for above the new unit, as to placement and subject - no change needed. The pallets I used are a little smaller than the average. It was fairly easy for me to handle myself and carry from inside the screen porch to it's place.</div>

<h3>
Yes, the gnomes picked up and moved across the flagstone walk and down the incline near an old dead tree stump. I think they like their new place. I know I like how they are situation much better than their old village. It seems like a natural place for a community of gnomes........</h3>

Woody (from Dolly Wood) seems to be fine with the new location. That's important because he is king of the gnomes and my favorite! He now rests in a bed of tiny green leafed ground cover that I got from a friend. She has very large areas of it in her back yard. It doesn't get very tall and can be walked on.</div>

A wider shot and you can see the ground cover is covering a good portion and hopefully will spread through all the bare ground in the village. The tree has a perfect opening and is hollow inside. </div>

This picture was made with me standing on the flagstone walk that runs by my dining room window. The ground cover in the front here is a much bigger leafed kind. As the new one spreads I will pull back some mini-bark and let it cover as much area as needs it. If all goes well I think it will be a pretty little place.</div>
