Nothing better than drinking my coffee as the sun comes up, getting ready to fill some seed requests, and draw a couple of giveaways. Everyone else is still in bed (they work hard too), so it's just me, my dogs, and the stillness of the morning. Homework can wait a dang minute!

A morning glory I saw on my morning walk. Grew some last year, possible offspring??

I'm babysitting two dogs for a friend this weekend along with my two.
After coffee, we're sitting in my back yard swing and I'm reading them a Tom Robbins story.

I once planted some morning glories a couple of years ago, and now they’re everywhere. Didn’t know they grew like weeds. :?

This what two little seeds caused.

My view out my window is unfortunately a bunch of houses. I miss the times when the land there wasn’t developed. The times when you could enjoy watching a hawk tear up a little bird on your fence.

A shot I took last year, basically from the same point-of-view. Nervous little birds...

@Chef: If you'd put trellises along all that fence, just think of the wall of cardinal climber vines you could grow!

Tried that once, built a trellis ten feet high. CC vines went 20 feet plus, got so proliferate that they went over the fence, and draped along the ground behind and into the neighbors yard. They got so big, in fact, that they broke the trellis and bowed the fence. I'm good, thanks though.

I'm green with envy over how much sun you have in your back yard. We have big, mature oaks on my lot so not only do I lack sunlight, I have an abundance of squirrels a.k.a. Satan's hamsters.

Nice nanner trees btw.

Yes, tree rats are the arch nemesis of many people.

Thank you. I got two, two years ago, so I could cook with the leaves, but they must like my soil as I now have 20.

Just means you need to build a sturdier fence. :mrgreen: They never get even close to that big on my balcony. Wonder which factors are mainly responsible?

Where I had them (where the white Rose of Sharon is in the corner), they received direct sunlight from sunrise to sunset, with the exception of a couple hours where my house blocked the sun. Throw in a long, warm, humid growing season, and I think they just took advantage of the opportunity.

Speaking of the afore mentioned "hamsters". This stub-tail variety trotted by the window a few minutes ago...he stopped long enough to implore me convince my wife to get more potted plants for the front porch so he and his friends can dig, shred, eat, throw, mascerate, rip, toss, etc., them for us.
