Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds & My Flowers

Some of you noticed I had a red bandage on my leg last week.

Well here is what happened.

It was something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie the birds.

I, Sweet William The Scot, was minding my own business which always gets me into trouble ~ I gots to remember to stay in Lee's business.
I was resting by our Cone Plants, right here in the shade

  Lee saw a Hawk land on the fence.  Why she even was taking pictures of it from our kitchen window when the thing flew down on me.

Those fence toppers of our neighbors are twelve inches tall!

Lee came running out with the umbrella which she had needed earlier in the day and was by the door.  Lee was swinging at the Hawk with an open umbrella to keep it off of her and get it off of me.

Lee says I was very dumb because I did not run.  I did nothing but hunker down!  But the vet said I was protecting the rest of my body.

Well that Hawk took a bite out of my back, yep he started to eat me.

$151 later at the vet I got a stitch and an IV antibiotic. 

And Lee was told it was illegal to harm Hawks!  What crap on a cracker is that.  They can eat me alive and it is against the law for Lee to harm them in protecting me.

O.K. now for some pictures of our cottage style garden flowers around my yard.

Our Porch where Lee and I sit every evening rocking.  See our painted milk can it says Welcome with a flower and our watering can says Happiness Lee painted them.  Black-eyed Susan bloom everywhere.

Come on off the porch and I will show you some other flowers.
The high plant on the other side is a Trumpet Vine which attracts our hummingbirds.

The purple Cone plants really attract the American Goldfinch birds but that dam Hawk dives down on them and eats them.

The start of our side flower bed.  Begonia flowers, Phlox, Lilies, Hosta, Black-eyed Susan, Cone flowers.

Starting around our big Maple we have more Cone Flowers.

Then we have Canna plants which did really well this year.

We have a lot of shade, so we have a lot of Hosta plants. 

Most of our Lilies got eaten by deer this year but this pretty one made it.

The Lantana attracted the butterflies in the side bed with the Lilies.

This pot sits by our back door.  It sits on another lime green chair.

This pot sits by our back tree.  The grass needs mowed.
Further back at the end of my yard we have a stone garden Lee is working on.

So sit in our Margaritaville painted chair on the other side of my house for awhile and enjoy our flowers.

Usually this chair has flower pots on each arm rest but they were soaking in water when I directed Lee to take the picture.

We love the green hues so our chairs are either white or green.  The green ones have sayings or designs Lee has painted on them and have all been rescued from someone's garbage.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Thanks for being a friend

Traveling down the road and back again

Your heart is true and your a friend of mine
