What I realized doing this post is that all my stained glass pieces except one, has flowers on it. Go figure… me,… flowers. This first one hangs in my kitchen. I love it’s simplicity and it’s colors. The light that streams through in the morning is cheerful even on gloomy days.
I bought this arts and crafts styled [...]
Last week we had several rainy days that were really needed.
The temperatures have been cooler and it was beginning to feel fall like way toooooo soon for me.
It has finally stopped and they are predicting sunshine and warm weather for the next 6 days or so.
Whew. I thought maybe summer had ended.
Luckily between the raindrops,
I was able [...]

We had a wonderful soaking rain last weekend.
It really helped perk things up around here.
I have cleared out some of the spent plants and flowers so it seems a bit sparse in some areas,
but in others there is plenty of fullness.
I have seen monarchs drifting by now and then which always makes me happy.

Look who stopped by for a visit yesterday.
He very slowly dawdled between flowers in my garden while I snapped his picture many many times. I swear he was posing for me. I suppose if I possessed that kind of beauty, I would like people admiring me too.
I felt like he was a rare flower with wings that I had [...]

Visit TNchick for Photohunter

Walking through my garden today,

I was happy to oblige.
I hope your flowers are grinning at you today too.

Because my last post on containers caused some interest in my picnic baskets, I thought I would show them for VTT, because they are not only fun and inexpensive they are also vintage.
Unfortunately they don’t last more than a season or two if you leave them out where they are in the sun and rain. Under a covered porch they [...]
We had a rainy afternoon,
but I was able to get out there and snap a few shots of my flowers before it started.
I love seeing them so close up.
The intricate patterns are amazing.
Mother Nature is quite an artist.

Visit Lisa’s chaos for Macro Monday.
After a couple of well needed rainy days, the weather has been wonderful.
These past two days, it’s hot but with low humidity so you can actually enjoy being outdoors.
I was finally able to catch up on my yard work and see what is going on out there.
I have plenty of blooms putting on their [...]
