I need an agent. I’ve come to this conclusion after a few more weeks on the run. Let me back up and explain. A few weeks ago I was hiding in the trial beds as happy as could be. Along came a gardener working hard to get rid of the weeds, so it was time…

On The Run
WOW! I’m sorry I’ve not been able to write lately, but I’ve been on the run for the last several weeks. I thought with only two eagles in the garden (and now a smaller third), I wouldn’t have much worry about being spotted, but I didn’t count on the eagle eyes of this gardening staff. …
Azalea Festival Week
I have moved across the canal, through the barricaded area around the eagles’ nest (something people can’t do – ha ha) and I have set up under a tree across from the Matson Garden. Here I have a great view into Renaissance Court, so I will be able to see the coronation of the Azalea…
At a Crossroads
It has been cool and damp for four or five days now, but I have found the hottest spot in the garden. I’m in a small planting bed on the east end of NATO bridge, at a very busy crossroads in the garden. If I were a little taller, I could stand here like the…
April Blooms
Happy April Fools! I thought about writing a nice blog about how Scott’s had come out with a new Weed N Feed product that killed everything but dandelions and how the green industry hailed this revolutionary new breakthrough, but instead I threatened the webmaster that I would stop writing blogs if he didn’t post my…
Finding a Secret Garden
I’ve been sitting here in the Fragrance Garden for a few days. Raise your hand (or leaf) if you know where that is. A lot of people don’t know, but it’s been fun watching them discover it. For the last week and a half, the gardeners have been tearing up the walkway in the boat…
The Color of the Garden
Today is a wonderful cold rainy day. I love being in the Garden on a day like this and it’s a shame that so few people will enjoy it. Cold wet weather means most people who visit the Garden today are coming for a meeting or a class inside a building. They will dash from…
Love is in the Air – Along with a Little Snow
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope everyone has a nice day with their loved ones. I just love being here in the Garden on such a beautiful day. Yesterday was such a lovely rainy day and then we had a nice dusting of snow. Just the right amount for someone my height – a little bit…
Fresh Air!
Whew, I have finally made it outside. I’ve been stuck in the Tropical Display House for the last two weeks. At first, it wasn’t so bad – nice and warm and lots of interesting plants. But I’m the rugged outdoor type and long for fresh air. Besides, several things happened that made me want to…
Tropical Paradise?
Yesterday, in the rain, I was able to sneak into the Tropical Display House with the help of some bamboo in the Japanese Garden. They sure know how to sneak around. When I got in here, I thought I was in paradise. It is warm, but not too hot. Humid, but not too wet. A…
