After three visits to Ace Hardware, I finally(!!) got a satisfactory piece of three-inch pipe to support the rustic bird house. (I was dealing with two different sizes between “topper” and bracket under bird house.)

I haven’t done anything strenuous this weekend. No heavy bags of cement, rocks, or garden soil. I did move the T@B tiny travel trailer from one site to another. (I only pay fifty cents a day for storage. Someone paying full price wanted the site next to the Activity Center.)

From Ace Hardware, I purchased two needed PVC pipe couplers so I could set up one framework  destined to be a makeshift trellis.  I wanted it along the back wall but (even two feet from the wall) management said “no.”  They “might” need to get to things….

Recently, from Lowe’s, I purchased the pink “paint” pails (reduced for quick sale).  They were much less expensive than planters!!!!  Very soon, I’ll fill them with gravel (for drainage) and garden soil.  I’m waiting for seedlings to get bigger before I transplant them.  FYI: I’m planting climbing plants, with bright red flowers, to attract the Hummingbirds.  Today I laced macrame on the white PVC pipe frame.

A squirrel was eating the flowers on the Begonia. Will I awaken some morning and find the deer ate my flowers and seedlings??
