We have some selfies to show you from Benji's special day on 6.6.2020.
Firstly the shrubs and flowers decided to blossom forth with delight that it was hot, and that the rains had given them energy to make pretty blooms for us all to enjoy. So they too made selfies, in honor of Benji's Birthday and 'just because'!
By the way, Mr Possum did not show up in the yard to crash our festivities, but a rather large garden snake did...petcretary shooed it away before the hooligan team discovered it...she herself has no fear of snakes around here, and she likes the fact that they do help keep varmints to a minimum, esp those that try to come in the house, or those that Benji sniffs under the grass and then digs big caverns to try to get them. Neither one of them allowed a selfie...
Sheesh.
Benji did it again...in the place where *she* had just transplanted some oak seedlings. (She always digs those up and replants them in the woodsy are to hopefully make it more wild creature friendly, at least in the canopy, cause the fence keeps big ones out, like the deer.

What a pawty! Looks like fun, even if the snake came uninvited. The flowers are stunning and that birthday hat is sweet, Happy Birthday Benji!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all had a great party! The flowers are lovely, and I think the Snowball plant is one of the Viburnums.
ReplyDeleteThose are such pretty flowers and wonderful selfies. I'm so glad you had a fun Birthday Benji!!!

I loved the birthday selfies!
ReplyDeleteoh what a wonderful Birthday you had! and even all flowers wore their bestest dresses to celebrate with you!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so pretty. We have a snowball plant called viburnum that might be the same as your own. We loved seeing all those birthday selfies. It was nice of Dalton to help Benji remove his head gear.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Benji...the whole world will NOT see your embarassing images on the interwebs!
ReplyDelete*hehehe*
I picked up some wild columbine plants yesterday; next year, I'm gonna have some really cool flowers!
Happy birthday Benji! You are very good about keeping those things on your head! I would have shaken them off immediately!
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of nice iris blooming now too. We have a peony plant that is quite ancient. We took it out of Grampa Bill's yard after he passed in 1995. It was there for countless years before that.
