About Me

My photo
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
I live in the Brighton Heights Neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh PA and recently certified my yard as a wildlife habitat. please feel free to check out my Blog and I hope you enjoy it.When I first bought my property the house was in disrepair and the yard was nothing but dead grass over grown weeds and garbage. It is now a habitat that provides wildlife with the four basic requirements needed to thrive. These are food, clean water, cover from predators, and places to raise young. I have provided these in my small space and will continue to improve on these elements of my garden. I am also an artist and I get a lot of inspiration from my garden. I am fascinated with tiny houses and enjoy cooking and music. I have two adopted cats from a rescue, and I have a one eyed cat that was a stray and needed surgery so I took her in. They are all house cats so they do not tear up my wildlife habitat. They do enjoy sitting in the windows looking at the other animals that visit my yard.

Almost November and still gardening

 I can not believe it is almost November and I am still working on my pond and gardening. I still have quite a bit of blooms throughout the yard.
My pond is looking good still considering it is almost November.
 I do not know if I kneed to drop my pots of Iris' to the deepest part of the pond. In nature no one drops them to deeper water.
 I am hoping everything will winter over alright.
Enjoying the last of my roses and sedum.
 Meadow Rue is still in bloom and cotoneaster has berries on it.
 Balloon flowers had a long season this year.
 
 The pond plants really filled in this year. Next year I will thin some out.
 Added ten bluegills to the upper pond. So far I have only lost two.
 Its getting colder and windy so even my little pond gets choppy.
 Sometimes I just sit and watch the light reflect off the surface of the water.
Afew of the bluegills around the new lotus.
