My little helper in the garden is "Sunshine" Can you find her in the picture? She has designated herself as the garden guard dog of bees and chippies! She is hiding in my cabin flowerbed waiting for the little chippies. She quietly waits for what seems like hours on her spot amongst the flowers - a chipppie arrives - she waits until it turns its back towards her and then takes "very slow quiet steps towards" it -
Oops - it's turned around - she stands at point - not a muscle moves until it turns its back towards her - acouple more steps - chippie turns and freezes "I do not remember a big white thing in the middle of the yard!" Off the chase goes.! Sunshine "used to" hunt the bees on my nepeta
"until" the day she got stung in the mouth. She is my companion while I weed and weed and weed - of course, she enjoys laying in the freshly dug dirt.
