Late Daffodils

The daffodils are almost done for this year. Only a few are left to bloom. Like most lates, they get more attention since there is less competition (I find this with my daylilies, too).

We'll just have to enjoy them while we can...

Spindletop..


Angel Eyes...


Notre Dame...


Dallas...


Pink Polynomial...


Soprano...


Ticonderoga...


Savoir Faire...


These last two just opened today....I probably should wait until at least tomorrow to take their pictures as they are not fully opened....but patience is not my strong suit....besides, of course, I'll take more pictures tomorrow!

Inner Glow...


Harp Music...


This very tame Mourning Dove allowed me to take his/her picture....


Sitting under the magnolia which will be history after Monday...

This amused me. Leo was fascinated with the birds on this trellis. I guess he hasn't noticed them for the last couple of years....



Good news....I learned tonight that the new gate will go in this weekend...yea! Tomorrow, I'll be busy moving all the plants in the way (on both sides)...a big task, but one that is necessary. Having a second gate will make it much easier to bring amendments into the backyard (and anything else). Since the magnolia sits behind there, having the second gate will make its removal much easier...try to imagine having to drag it down the hill, squeeze through a narrow opening, up a small hill toward the original gate, through there and up to the driveway....whew. With the second gate, it can be brought out of there and through the front yard...

In addition, the fence that leans there will be straightened. One more thing to check off the list. The leaning has bothered me for years...and in a few days, it will be no more!
