Welcome to Perennial Passion
About Me
- Diana LaMarre
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

This reminds me of the huge "pond toad" that I saw on my road in N.B. It was that big and I thought for sure that someone had lost a garden ornament on the road. Then my neighbor walked up to it and tapped it on the butt and it sluggishly went across the road and back to the bog. UG!!!!!!!!!

He's saying...hey lady, you need a pond! ; )
ReplyDeleteLOL, ladies.
ReplyDeleteNo pond fo rme -- too much work caring for it with all of the pine trees I have. I would be picking pine needles out all the time. I have all the garden work I can handle right now!
Nice new picture, Dianne. How did you do that? You are so clever in this blog world.
ReplyDeleteMy photo is 'morphed'. I got the idea from Dr. Cutie Troublemaker's blog (I've gotten a lot of ideas from her). She even had to tell me how to save it (print screen into paint). Check out how cool her morphed photos are (see my side bar)! Most of mine were horrible.
ReplyDeleteCould you not have a water feature on your pretty deck? ; )
Never heard of "morphed" photos before. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have been thinking of a fountain for the deck. I have a couple of electrical outlets on it. Just have not found anything I really want yet.
Sandy, I think you may be the only person who has ever said a kind word about this guy. LOL
ReplyDeleteI like frogs, doesnt seem ugly to me either. I would love to have him in my garden...wait....I have the real things, even better!
ReplyDeleteI think he's beautiful. I had a toad that lived in my shady area in back. I was going to buy him a toad house from Lee Valley. I guess he moved on or died because I haven't seen him this year or last.
ReplyDeletewe live adjacent to some woods, and every spring you can walk in there and the ground is covered in bbaby toads hopping around for about a week..countless numbers :)
ReplyDeleteSeveral have lived in my garden since i've lived here. They burrow under the house and sleep through the winter.
I like it! I think he's beautiful!
