The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 30 is "discovery" (suggested by @matthewlang). I noticed the filler valve for the small pond was running non-stop, so likely leaking by overflowing the liner. Looking under a tree, I made a discovery, and fixed it. 📷 #mbaug

The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 26 is "relentless" (suggested by @poetalegre). I can’t think of anything more relentless around the homestead than bamboo. I recently cut this grove to the ground, and it keeps on sprouting new stalks. 📷 #mbaug

In 2004 when we lived in a townhouse, our backyard was tiny. But we made the most of the space, with some nice landscaping, a small pond, and a bench from which to watch the fish. #ThrowbackThursday

Micro.blog is doing a photo challenge for August. The word for today is "up" (suggested by @LJPUK). Today I trimmed a bunch of branches; here I’m looking up at a sagging branch of the big tree by the chicken coops. 📷 #mbaug

Back in 2004 when we lived in a townhouse, we only had a tiny backyard. Since I always want a pond, I added a small one, and other landscaping. #ThrowbackThursday

Today’s “flower” is a bunch of mushrooms that sprouted up in a garden; not technically a flower, but serves much the same purpose to the plants. These appeared in late May, and are all gone now; probably eaten by deer. 🌱
