It has small solar lamps put in in strategic places - so at night it twinkles! I hope to capture that in a photo some time, too, to show the world. Fairytale-like!
These portraits are wonderful! Your homeland is way ahead of mine, weatherwise, my sunflowers are still weeny (though I think it might have something to do with the fact that there's a big ol' hemlock tree shading them). But I've been harvesting peas and raspberries, and my zucchini plants already have one baby zuke! I love watching your neighbor's chickens dashing around your garden! My chickens have to be confined to their enclosed run or their own safety because we have too many chicken-hungry predators around here.
I live in a very rural area. In addition to hawks and owls, we have foxes, coyotes, black bears, bob cats, fisher cats (who are actually close relatives of weasels), actual weasels, and one neighbor's dog whose people refuse (or are unable) to keep him from running free - he always looks so frantically joyous when I see him running loose (with a clear desire to jam in as much fun as possible before he gets caught), that I suspect he's an escape artist... I feel a bit sorry for him, but not enough to let him chase (and perhaps eat) my chickens. At any rate, letting my chickens run free would be tantamount to putting out a "Free Buffet" sign... 🐔🐓
Ah, the zukes! I'm amazed by how fast they're growing (we've had a heat wave here recently, too, along with lots of rain). I'm just hoping the squash vine borers leave them alone this year... But my tomatoes... I grew my own seedlings this year and they're still puny! I hope they catch up...
Wonderful, those chickens-from-next-door. Keeps your snail population down a bit :-) And what a wonderfully creative idea to draw your readers in this way. Super enjoyable read!!!
Love the portraits. You’re so talented!!
Ahhh Magreet this is so fun!!! I can't believe how many you drew!! (And YAY for garden photos! Yours is so compact and unique!)

Ooo, your zuke is ahead of my zuke! There is the occasional bird-of-prey here, but not threatening enough that the chickens can't roam free by day.

What a cool portrait idea! I love thinking about how enjoyable life could be when I'm older, rather than dreading it.
