Looking for two things.......

and not necessarily two of the same kind of thing.

Color Review..........Pink and Blue

I consider myself lucky to have been able to have so many different colors from the one packet of seeds.  The vines are so wimpy but maybe by the end of the season I can take photos of a large growth of green on the trellis. It is suppose to rain on Thursday and that will make it shoot up more vines.

I hope you have a good day.  Thanks for stopping by my post today.

Starting off the week.......

My hardy geranium is doing well but the hummingbirds do not like it.  I see them approach the buds but I have yet to see them drink from the blooms.  They do have two feeders hanging nearby and I am sure that it is easier for them to attain sweet stuff.

I broke these plants off from the lanky main plant and put them into a smaller pot.  They have been allowed to dry out a little and they have enjoyed the sumer heat.  I think they have probably rooted now as they seem to be greening up and grow larger.

I posted on my Photo a Day blog a pink geranium with backlighting.  I think this must be partial lighting from the side.  This bloom is in a larger planter and is now taking off now that we have fall weather.  Tomorrow we do jump back up to 90 degrees F.

It is a day for me being a Special Education teacher. It will be a good day.  I will repeat it again tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by my post today.

Sunday Shots..........

Having coffee on Saturday while sitting out on the patio was relaxing.  The temperatures were great and the slight wind made it pleasant.  The mug is one that I rescued from the Osceola landfill a few years back.  The moss rose in the pot is the world famous moss rose planter that I have probably posted dozens of times so far.  I have more photos but I will save them for later posts.

I picked up more fallen apples on Saturday as well as so more pears.  One out of three of the pears are actually good and we eat them as a snack after they finish ripening.  Della made another apple pie yesterday. I was exploring new ways to take photos out at the patio table with the pears, mug, and of course all the moss rose blooms.

I worked in my garden shed Saturday reorganizing the mess that I have in storage inside.  The light fixture is one that I removed from my mom's house and replaced it with a less decorative and more modern ceiling fixture. It hands inside my shed just for fun.

I was able to take a few new shots of my morning glories yesterday.  This one was funny as it seemed to have a porch roof hanging over it.  I will post the photos later of the different colors of flowers that   I have.

It is Sunday and it will be a good day of rest for me.  Thanks for stopping by my post today.

A Cold Saturday Morning.........

Hardy Geranium

It was 49 degrees this morning when we got up for breakfast.  The sun will warm it up by noon as fall really is in the air.

I will be peeling apples again today for a pie that my wife will be making.  I have some more yard work to do as I didn't get all my mowing done during the week.  I still have limbs to trim off of various trees that seem overgrown. I keep watching for falling pears from our tree to pick and eat.  This is the first year that we have had any fruit to eat from this tree.  There are pears still hanging on way at the top of the tree.

We are definitely having fall weather right now and it will be interesting to see if it holds.  The classrooms at school are warm but it will be nice to have it be comfortable in the rooms again.

I posted this on my Photo a Day blog today.  The guy flew in and landed on a leaf to warm himself. I could of taken many photos of it as it wasn't going to leave until it was warm.  I think it is a moth but have not researched it to find out what it is.  We had a mini migration of monarch a few days back but I think they must have been just grouping. It was a couple of dozen of them flying around and then they were gone.

Friday's Finds...........

I never have noticed this before that the blooms stay on the end of the zucchini for some time  before dropping off.

I had planted these seeds at the blue gate and never saw any sprouts.   I had forgotten they were there.  I looked down in the early morning on Wednesday while traveling through the gate and there it was. It would be nice that it would reseed itself.

Impatience plants in a planter can go from drought to being alive in a very short time.  I have always been fascinated with the type of plant that gets so wilted and then once watered will bounce back.

I am following a nice young man around to his classes all morning.  In the afternoon I will be a business teacher.  I remember when business teachers all dressed like business people each day to model the role of a business person on the job.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Friday is a reality.

Thursday's Things.......

The moss rose is enjoying the cooler weather.  It is amazing how it can put out so many blooms and by the second day they are all gone.  I looked at the plants last night and there was not a single bloom showing.  This morning I noticed I had about six new blooms out.

It cooled down last evening and we sat out on the patio.  The dogs love to be outside when we are out there and run all around the yard.  The evening seems to be the time that the hummers are feeding for their last meal.  We have at least three, maybe four of them and they fight with each other continually.  It was nice to be out there and watch them eat and chase around the yard. The shot of the hummingbird is another one that I took looking through my dining room window.

The sedum is about ready to bloom.  I have most of it standing up straight this year and that is good because I didn't get it staked again this year to keep it from falling down.

I mowed my yard this morning and did a few chores around the house. I set my mower down a notch to mow it lower.  It really looks good and hopefully I won't have to mow again for a couple of weeks.  I didn't have work today until noon. I am now an English teacher at the high school level for the afternoon.  They are studying Beowolf.

Thanks for stopping by my post today.  Friday is coming.
