Great. Amazing you found the sticks.

I do sometimes go to the window and just look. Even when it is raining. Same with the bedroom window in the back where I can see my pond and even the fish in the pond just swimming around or soaking up sun.

It looks like a jungle out back. A hodge-podge with little order. I keep trying to impose my OCD compulsion for things to look orderly and 'planned' but it never seems to work out. Oh, lots of plants, trees, bushes and flowers. And some areas are more orderly than others but I have already moved half a dozen plants: lilies, agastache, delphiniums, etc to places to fill in holes where height is missing, or to remove where height or crowding is not wanted. But somehow nature seems to do what it wants. This bush (I have two from a DG friend) has just gone outrageously nutso. Hasn't stopped putting out limbs and blooms all summer. It has to be moved but I have no clue where. This is the last pic I took 7-27. It is much bigger now and about 24x24".

Frankly I am not sure what it is even. A hardy hibiscus?? Evening Primrose??
