Where Did That Come From? Dept.

Last fall, I start cutting down on old, diseased lilac (25+ years old). Didn't cut everything down since the yard waste bin was full.

Just noticed today that what I thought was all lilac wasn't! A volunteer apricot tree had grownup among the lilac. And was it blooming. See photos.

Cleared out the rest of lilac, kept the apricot. Probably seeded by the other apricot tree near by.

Whenever I think how much I'd like to move because the property is high maintenance, I'm remember how much I enjoy it. I have no illusions, nobody else will care for it like I do and nature will soon reclaim this little bit of eden. #gardening

A plant hanger and a wind chime hang quietly in the foreground, connected by an old spiderweb slightly blowing around in the breeze whose occupants have deserted it some time ago.

Delaware Backyard Rooster Laws: Which Counties Allow Them and Which Don’t

Roosters are a natural part of backyard chicken keeping, but in Delaware, whether you can legally keep one depends heavily on where you live. State law sets a broad framework, but your county, township, or municipality often has the final say — and the rules vary more than most people expect. Before you bring a rooster home, you need to understand the zoning classifications, noise ordinances, and registration requirements that apply to your specific address. Getting this wrong can mean […]
