Midnight at the Oasis

I haven’t been able to upload any information or additional pictures. Will try later.

We can only spend time in the Oasis late at night. Hence I chose the name of the song Midnight at the Oasis for this one. First thing I’ve accomplished in some time, but I have been working on this outdoor space and other projects.

Thanks Stingray. Looks like the description finally came through. My phone service is terrible.

Thanks everyone. It felt good to tune out all the bad news and focus on making something. It’s been a while. My mood has been all over the place and I have been focusing on trying to create more beauty in the Oasis for myself and the creatures. I wanted to show you a little of that but my internet is very unstable tonight. I made a fountain for the birds and now they come fluttering in to drink and bathe. I had to put a ton of rocks in it because a couple of bees drowned and I felt terrible. They are thirsty too. Do you ever think, by God, someplace should be protected from misery and unhappiness? Keeping out the evil, at least here on this tiny space, is my responsibility now. I’m learning to grow a few vegetables. I dote on the these plants and get nothing, LOL. But I may yet. I have solar flowers and lights and a gazing ball in a crescent moon to gaze upon at midnight. Pam, that dark piece is just a black glass faceted crystal. Thank you Bev and Sweetjane. I’ve got to do something for Tracy’s birthday. I have no idea what.

You are so on top of it Beady! I have only a container garden this year. I killed a lot of seedlings before I got some to grow and survive. I have peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatillas, sage, and butternut squash. I already had a fig, lemon, grapefuit, and pomegranate, so they do produce. I do have a couple of tiny yellow squash that may develop. Who knows. Saw a bee trying to get to a squash flower that was already closed and I had a conversation with that guy about doing his job. He needs to go where the open flowers are, LOL. I may take a walk later this evening and see if I have better success uploading with the library’s internet. I may have to get another phone service. This has been a problem for a couple of months now. I think it’s more important to me right now that I bling the place up so I can relax, although I should try to raise some food these days. I found an arched trellis on Walmart’s website for $32! It should be here soon. Plants can grow up it and I’ll get a couple more humingbird feeders to hang under it. Those guys are keeping me sane. They come right up to my face and look at me, buzz a bit, then off they go. I had a handyman out here and they did it to him. He goes “whoa.” I’m stocking sugar for them so they will always be fed no matter how bad things get. Ok, enough babble. Maybe there will be a picture later.

Henri in the Oasis

Ok. The library’s wifi obviously works so it’s my provider. Here’s a picture of my gazing ball and the plants.

Thanks Crystal and Beady. My budget doesn’t permit me to do everything I would like all at once. I know you both love nature as much as I do. I’m going to try to clear my head and get more jewelry made now.
