Saturday This and That

Back porch ~6:30 am same day photo on the right with flash
Personally I love the reflections on the left





Our neighbor has ligustrum planted along his fence.
Someone (here) loves playing with their extension clippers when they hang over 
into our yard.  And for fun the frame is because he loves anything with wheels.


We DO NOT LIKE the look or smell of Ligustrum hedges.
It smells horrible when in bloom
Ligustrum lucidum is a species of privet, a flowering plant in the olive family,

  1. Good thing "SOMEONE" has those trimmers! Especially if the plant is stinky!

  2. Those trimmers look very useful, Mom is thinking she needs a pair.

  3. Oh boy, now you've done it Cecilia- Dad got all excited when he saw the "Tools" in that photo. As it is he was going to Lowes today, but now I fear (as does his company credit card) he'll be returning with much more than what was originally intended. Thanks for that. Oh, but have an awesome weekend. The big guy's feeling better and finally getting back to the most important thing- this blogging stuff. Be well!

    Privet hedges are one of the bane of any asthmatic's existence let me tell you! In Sydney, during spring, the air is redolent with their stink and it really is overwhelming. Go, clipper man!!! I too love the dark shadow shot. YAM xx

  9. I love the Ligustrum and the smell, but am probably allergic to the smell now, raised in Savannah they were on every property in the city as hedges.. bob has that same toy, but doesn't use it as much as he used to... he also loves anything with wheels

  12. Well, he does love trains, right? :) Never heard of that ligustrum but I'm sure I've seen it.

  13. We didn't know our privet bush is related to olive trees. No wonder it has little tiny dark bluish black berries.

  14. We've never heard of ligustrum but we're probably glad we haven't!

  15. We love your artwork AND your header. Mom doesn't like the smell of our flowering pear trees. We have two and she keeps wishing they would die:)

  16. I like the photo without the flash much better. It gives character. I have never heard of that plant, but if it is smelly I don't want to!

  17. Our mom is fantasizing about what she could do to our neighbors' invasive Weeping Willow Tree with those trimmers. Shh! Don't tell the neighbors!
    Yours sincerely,
