A Fish, a Bird, Spiky Plants, and Spiky Shadows 
 

Day Twenty-eight of March Spiky Squares!

[where Becky of Winchester's other entries are]

 

 

The Fish, to the left of the bird, is rubbery, has a yellow body and green fins, and carries a Water Thermometer (72°) dangling down in the water.  

(same for Air Temp at 11:00 AM and low 80's in the afternoon)

 

I don't know what kind of bird it is, probably a dove as we have a lot of  those.  She is cooling her feet, getting a drink, and getting a break from the kids (or letting Hubby have a turn at the nest, duno).  They love to sit on the edge of the Hot Tub Spa.

 

The Green Spikies are Ferns, the light colored frond in front will probably die. 

 

I was surprised that the ferns would make nice Spiky SHADOWS like this.  I only took the picture from inside the living room window to catch the bird without scaring it away. 

 

View our pool here (in Spring) and here (in Winter).  Note: we only have snow about every ten years, the snow picture was taken last year.  The other one a few weeks ago.

These iris bloom late, they always have even at our other place, for 19 years

We moved from Montgoery (Texas) to over here at Katy (Texas) and brought some of these iris plants for here.  The little Iris Patch in our back yard garden is SQUARE. 

We had talked of moving a few ginger roots but they have to be managed carefully or they tend to take over the whole place.  I just love those blooms in the spring, they are purple pink in color. 

For a long time we didn't know what they were, we transplanted a potted  plant from Mrs. Jim's mother's funeral.  A friend identified them for us.  I will post a picture of them when they are SPIKY.

Note:  I will post other SPIKY SQUARES posts for this month of March.  But not everyday, I have other things to do besides Blogging and being Retired.
