I had a bunch of fun taking pictures today for this post. There are so many colors to take in right now. Just when I think how sad it is that a certain flower is done blooming, another steps up and takes it’s place. This lily is so bright and vibrant …and huge! My [...]
It’s hard to believe that it is already mid June. Almost the first day of summer. Things are blooming away here. My vegetables seem to be doing well so far. Putting in these raised beds makes it so much easier to take care of them. I have delphiniums in blue, and purple. There are nasturtiums [...]
growing at my house this week. First there is the lily getting ready to bloom. Then we have Rose Campion. Then Campanula ‘Cherry Bells’ “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” ~ Buddha Visit Lisa’s Chaos for Macro Monday!
away today after yesterday’s soaking rain. My plants seem to have given a sigh of relief now that they have had a good long drenching. We could use even more rain but I keep hoping it doesn’t choose Saturday to give it to us. I am throwing a baby shower brunch and rain is [...]
This is my favorite time of year. There are so many colors and fragances. I thought I would give bigger views this week of what’s blooming here. There’s plenty to see. The bees and the birds have been very busy this week. It’s nice to see all the activity in the yard. I have a chipmunk [...]
There is plenty of Red going on in my garden. Depending on the lighting they sometimes look pinkish, but they are red (mostly). I hope you are having a wonderful day! “Never yet was a springtime, when the buds forgot to bloom.” - Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
The weather has been dreary and cold for days with some rain and sunshine stuck in here and there. Not great gardening weather which means I have been very lazy about weeding and trimming. I hate shivering while I am gardening. To spite my neglect, things are still beginning to bloom so there are [...]
I saw this flower at the garden market I visited this weekend. I bought some red ones but I snapped a photo of this one while I was there. It is a Mimulus also known as a Monkey Flower because it is said to resemble the grinning face of a monkey. (Personally, I don’t see it). [...]
I am so happy to see color again that I am beside myself. There isn’t tons of blooms yet but at least there are some. It feels so good to be outside working in my garden again. It’s so nice to see everything growing. Did I mention the colors? That’s the best part. No [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! To spite the warmish weather we had for the past week or so, we still don’t have a lot of flowers bursting out yet. I have a few that are reeeaaallly trying but they aren’t amounting to much. To spite the clear sunny day, today was only in the fifties with [...]
