2008-09-27 Stuff around the house

2008-09-27 Decided to shoot some late afternoon shots around the house. Recently, we got a bird feeder and bird bath, and the birds have started showing up here and there. Also, we had a fence put up around the front yard to keep out neer-do-wells and also to keep in the dogs. Today, there was a plant sale by the local chapter of the South Carolina Native Plant Society, of which we are members. To my surprise, there was a fellow there selling rain barrels. I had been shopping around for a couple of them to supplement our (lack of) rainfall. Now, all we need is some rain!
