What’s been eating my daisies?

August 19, 2007 by Tricia

Join Green Thumb Sunday
Join

Rudbeckia fulgida – Goldsturm – Black Eyed Susan

What do you think has been munching on my black eyed susans? Do you see the big chunks missing out of some of the petals?


I took a number of photos of my daisies, but I decided to put this one up today, even thought it’s not as lovely the one I’ve got up on my photoblog at the moment simply to show you the damage.

I’m not too worried about a few chunks out of some petals. It’s not like my whole garden or even all the daisies have been attacked. I’m just curious as to what might have done this. I suspect it might have been a caterpillar of some sort.

I’ll have to try to catch the culprit in the act.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

Bumble Bee feeding station

I took this photo last year when I noticed that there were lots of bumble bees visiting some sedum flowers that had just started to bloom.

I swear the plant must have had twenty bumble bees visiting at once. It was like a bumble bee flea market or something.

I’m actually allergic to bees, but I’m not really afraid of bumble bees.

They are very gentle creatures and are very unlikely to bother you unless you lean on one or sit one one. Wasps and hornets on the other hand … don’t make them mad!

A stairlift might give your loved one more freedom in the home

August 18, 2007 by Tricia

When a health person with good mobility confronts a set of stairs they probably don’t think anything of climbing or descending the stairs. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who suffer from back, hip and knee disorders, or who have other health conditions that make negotiating a set of stairs an almost impossible task.

If you know someone with limited mobility who lives in a home with sets of stairs that must be climbed a few times a day you might want to consider taking a look at the various types of stairlifts that are being sold at Value Stairlifts.

You really could help give someone you love more freedom in their own home and take away the fear of injury if you were to purchase a stairlift for the home.

Value Stairlifts sells a number of different types of stairlifts. You can get stairlifts for straight, curved, and outdoor stairs. You can also purchases a standing stairlift for those who prefer to stand as they go up or down the stairs. If you don’t have much money to spare you might try looking into the reconditioned stairlifts that are sold at Value Stairlifts. They’ve been refurbished and offer the same reliability as a new stairlift.

If a stairlift sounds like it might be a helpful solution for someone you care about you can call Value Stairlift through the week or fill out an enquiry form on the site in order to get more information.

Yawning?

August 18, 2007 by Tricia

Yawn

Whenever I see this photo I always wonder if the rabbit is yawning or screaming. It looks like a yawn to me but who knows!

I haven’t spent much time around rabbits. Perhaps one of my readers has had a rabbit as a pet? Maybe you can tell me what you think this rabbit is doing?

No one sleeps in this house!

August 18, 2007 by Tricia

My poor husband. He’s having trouble sleeping too.

I feel like I’ve barely slept in the last two weeks and now it seems my husbands having trouble lately too. I think he’s having trouble tonight because I suddenly had some really severe pain in my side just before he was going to bed. I think he might be worrying about me.

He ended up coming back downstairs about half an hour after he’d tried going to bed. I set him up with some warm milk and he eventually headed back to bed looking very tired that time round.

I hope he gets some sleep.
