Tools..


The July theme for City Daily Photo bloggers is 'tools'. As I have spent much time in the jungle garden lately I thought what better than show some of my tools. Can you guess which one I enjoy using the most? If you guessed the power hedge trimmer you would be spot on, love zipping over the hedge to tidy it up. I'm pretty used to Mr and Mrs G looking down at me from the pool fence, the cat also, but..

... this little fella was most unexpected! The tiny field mouse was there one minute and gone the next, it was after the left overs in the bird seed trays. Here's the deal little chap, stay up in the top garden and we won't have a problem, enter the house and we'll have to rethink the situation :) Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe..

  1. Tools of the trade for sprucing up your garden. Nice one for the theme, Grace. Love those birds and I think you surprised one of those field mice. :)

  3. The tools look like heavy work! Love the wee field mouse - outside but not in the house!

  4. Dearest Grace,
    Well, those garden critters also need to eat every day...
    Mice in the house is a no-no!
    Love your birds.
    We have no hedges for trimming so we can't speak for that tool.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  7. I always suspected your beautiful garden was the result of much hard work. That pair of Galah Cockatoos look terrific. The mouse not so much. I'm sure your cat patrols the garden hunting mice.

  11. I see there is lots of activity in your garden and it's not all coming from the hedge trimmers! Great post!

  12. Loooove your banner, Grace (much better than naked trees) - guess what - it was raining this morno, too!

    Oh, see. I need to go in the "garden" - the maintenance man did not cut down Mum´s strawberries as far as I could "see" with my reading glasses (getting old sucks, 😉!).

    Awwww, pink beauties! And the mouse!
    I had one mouse - she was clever. I let her roam loose and after one cable accident she got it and never touched anything like that again. She knew where to "go", too and softly even in summer made it up to my ear to tell me something. I called her Dandy... for a reason.
    She was a jerboa.

  21. I'm looking forward to yardwork in a couple of weeks - we are finally traveling to our home is Washington state, after an almost two year absence due to covid. The pink birds are lovely.
