Good Fences ~ Edition 113 ~

Did anyone miss me last week here at Good Fences?

After participating in 111 Good Fence posts, never missing one,

boom, just like that, I was not able to participate last week.

Sometimes, life gets hard...Sometimes, it's harder than it has to be.

Enough said!!

Yesterday, there was so much excitement and chatter here on the blog about my 

Little Kim Lilacs

I decided to drag my sorry bottom outside and take some pictures.

Of course, now that I decided to brag about them,

they are not looking as "fine" today as they were yesterday...

but they aren't looking too shabby either.

I counted a total of eight bushes, that have all grown together,

forming a fence like hedge.

The Little Kim flowers are a very light lilac color, looking almost white from a distance,

but the fragrance is the same.

They always bloom after regular lilacs and the blooms were abundant this year, top to bottom.

Our home is built on a one acre parcel and this is the back and side property line.

Directly next to the lilacs are some beautiful Viburnum, 

I am not sure why I didn't photograph them.

And a little p.s. here, the hubs built our lovely abode, 33 years ago.

Next come the Green Giant Thugi Shrubs

then a small patch of grass...

and one last lilac in the stone garden that is more a part of the pool garden.

The rail road tie steps lead down to the river,

with little peaks here at the new fence we had installed last year.

One nice big picture, of the overall area would have been helpful,

yep, woulda' been, but I didn't take that either.

Last night while reading emails a huge raccoon jumped up on the deck railing

and glared into the window, not 10 feet away.

By the time I found the camera, changed the lens, set the settings,

and found the battery, it was gone.
Yep, he was a quick one
* wink *

I was a little concerned about seeing it, while it was still light out...

but it was dusk and hopefully he just "rose" early to begin his evening of irritating me.

He left a few droppings on the deck rail, I cleaned those up while I was out there.

To be clear, I don't live on a farm or in the country,

it's just a little house, in the burbs.

Enough said!!

And a shout out to my dear friend Kim at Field of my Dreams, 
I can't help but smile and think about your shinning face, each time I type out your name.
