I ...Hello everyone, and thank you for the comments! I had no computer access while we were gone, and think I've missed out on a lot more than heat & drought! I'm trying to catch up with all the previous posts on other garden blogs. <BR/><BR/>Christopher, this is the fifth house we've owned but the first yard with a privacy fence, and it does feel like a secluded retreat most of the year, although once the leaves fall we are much more exposed to the neighbors whose two-story porch overlooks our patio. <BR/><BR/>I love that window, and like it even better at dinnertime, when the sun has moved around the house and the hummingbirds come. There's much more browned grass in back since the photo was taken, but filling the bird baths at least twice every day means there are a few very green circles!<BR/><BR/>Stuart named me blog of the week? Wow, that's cool, but what happened to his site? My link won't work anymore. <BR/><BR/>AnnieAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1155838122423786252006-08-17T13:08:00.000-05:002006-08-17T13:08:00.000-05:00That's a lovely view, Annie--and I'm glad to hear ...That's a lovely view, Annie--and I'm glad to hear that Austinites are "adopting" the local bat colony!

Now we're so used to having our coffee in front of our computers while reading the newspaper online that it probably doesn't matter. Your yard's looking pretty green. I was shocked to glance out the window and notice the yaupon holly turning brown. I've had it several years and thought it was pretty well established. If my drought-tolerant plants can't take it, I'm tempted to give up the garden and move into a high-rise downtown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1155276254225200262006-08-11T01:04:00.000-05:002006-08-11T01:04:00.000-05:00What a lovely view from your window!

That's two meme's. You may miss a third during your break with the kids. Things always come in threes.<BR/><BR/>That is a pretty green lawn for the way you Austin gardeners talk. It also reminds me of the backyards of homes in North Florida, a private quiet retreat from the world out front.Christopher C. NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621322814577793080noreply@blogger.com
