It faces west, and is pretty much the only shade we have. We've planted it just as the west side of my childhood house with lilacs (my mother's), locust trees, and a vine called either Dutchman's pipe or elephant ears. Going to post a picture of that soon.
Oh my gosh, Kay. Do you know what? This all came about because we saw the woodchuck and then later heard it doing the whistle sound - as she was learning the tongue twister! Another name for it is "whistle pig".
Tom taught her, and then wrote it down so she could really learn it. And there was a woodchuck nearby as this all happened! That's how it came up. I had seen it earlier, and then it was out of sight but giving it's whistle. Besides groundhog, it is also called a "whistle pig."
I'll answer your comments as soon as I possibly can. Please do come back if you've asked a question. Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.
That's one of my favorites! Nice job, well read.
ReplyDeleteTom had been teaching it to her, and then printed it out so she could read it.
DeleteWell done!

ReplyDeleteYes! And by the way, I do miss your blog.
DeleteGreat job reading that tongue twister. That looks like such a cool shady porch.

DeleteNot bad at all...I would probably have fallen out of the swing if I had tried to do it that way. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing!
DeleteVery nice, Miss Hazel! What do you know about woodchucks? LOL

DeleteVery good! Hazel has a beautiful voice as well as being an excellent reader!
ReplyDeleteSo nice of you.
DeleteThat's tough and she read it so well!

DeleteOh my! That is very impressive indeed. ❤️
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely relationship she must have with her grandfather! I love big porches like yours.
