I'm sorry to hear that home values are depreciating so precipitously, but if that means you're staying put for a while then at least you'll have the enjoyment of the painted wall, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-76202131854001099822008-07-14T08:38:00.000-07:002008-07-14T08:38:00.000-07:00What a wonderful post!

It blends into the landscape. I think painted it would become the focal point and take the eye away from the plantings.<BR/><BR/>Do you think the Doves are trapped by instinct and sitting on eggs? It would be a favor to disturb them and remove any if that's the case. I hear brooding so long is a sign of depression. Maybe they need to make an appointment to see a quack.

Our average first freeze date is Oct 26, but that seems pretty early considering the last few years. Everything is behind atleast 3 weeks, so I'm hoping I'll still have things growing in September. Congratulations on the rain by the way!Johnicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16767200978098710170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-78427822837924680872008-07-13T17:40:00.000-07:002008-07-13T17:40:00.000-07:00I love your rusted steel sentinel.

I can only imagine how hot it must be there now and I don't blame you for not wanting to do a bit of garden maintenance in that heat. Call the pros! <BR/><BR/>As for the Mourning doves .. maybe they are just staying in the nest because it appears to be shaded a bit? <BR/><BR/>Great pictures.
