The Wall Street Journal has a hilarious article about people wanting to get close to the Creation (or nature, as they spell it). They do not want to drive miles and miles to get there. So they are building mansions in the wilderness to enjoy happiness.
Poor me, I open the front door to work on - and enjoy -
- Roses, Caladiums,
- Butterfly plants - Joe Pye, Bee Balm, Clethra, Hosta,
- Bee and Hummingbird plants - see above,
- Carpets of Wild Strawberries, with tiny rubies glowing in the leaves,
- Lilies,
- Crepe Myrtles for Robins and Cardinals.
- Fragrances from roses and other plants.
- Bunnies, birds, and hawks.

| Future Poke berries are enjoyed by over 60 birds, which plant more Poke for future feasts. |

| Poke for the insects. |
The backyard gardens are becoming host to tall dominant plants:
- The Poke Weed Creation bird feeder and insect platform,
- The Joe Pye shade monster and hummer, butterfly, and bee feeder - 9 feet high,
- Hostas growing big in the shade and the shady far backyard,
- More Clethras,
- More Crepe Myrtles,
- Far more bunnies - and birds with feeders and baths.
- Violets, Lambs Ears.
- Extra roses.
- Coconut Daisies.
