A Slow but Sure Saturday....

Another blurry shot of the hydrangea. The camera just doesn't like to   photograph all that white. I probably was a little wobbly too.

Yesterday I planted some marigolds around the tomato patch. I also got my zinnia garden planted.  It was nice to get that done and my energy level was exhausted from that.

Today, I mowed the front yard. I had not wowed it for a couple of weeks and it really looks good. I will mow the other larger half on another day. I made a trip to the grocery store as we were just out of too many things.  It was busy for a Saturday. I am still surprised of the things that they are out of or have very low supplies.

This is one of the many shots that I have of the yellow roses. I don't remember which ones that I have posted but I hope this is a different.  We have been sitting at the edger of many rains.  We get light sprinkles but not the rain. I am not sure why it is raining around us but we could use some moisture.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Friday for Sure.....

It seems to be a little bit damaged but the weather really can't be blamed for that.  I think it is a regal  lily that I mode from the old place. It has connections to my Grandmother's garden.  She has been gone since 1973.

Nest to the lily is the trusty old hydrangea. It is not so large as a plant but I know it will just keep growing larger  year after year.

I bought a wave petunia a couple of days ago when I made my mad dash into Menards.  It was cheap and plainting it in the hanger probably will work but it looks pretty scant right now. I guess it is blind hope that it will be silled out in the future.

I did just a little work outside today. I have been under the weather for 13 days. I over worked my back and I am coming back very slowly from that. It affected my typing skills but they are coming back a little too.  I see being back to normal eventually but I have really had to slow down.

We didn't get the rain last night and we are not getting the next one either.  It is suppose to storm off and on throughout the weekend. May be we will have rain.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Thursday's Few Things.....

Chirping sparrow sounds are coming from this old birdhouse. I see the adults coming and going all day with food.

The swimming pool project continues. I know it is quite an effort with our heat being so high. It is going to be a partial above grown pool.

I keep thinking that they will open soon. I have not checked today.

I need to muster up some energy to plant some things.  I have bought some zinnia seeds.  I stopped at Menards after we took our friend for a check up. It was a ghost town at the store and the nursery area didn't have much for sale.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Middle of the Week.....

My little bunny was out in the raised bed this morning.  He was eating on an onion top.

We went to the nursery this morning to buy us an anniversary rose. I saw a batch of these noss rose plants to buy..

The nursery had purchase some plants for their business but not the large amount that they normally order. Things did not work out well for them as in the past two weeks they sold out of many things. I couldn't fine the things that I normally buy.

We wanted to buy a Peace rose for our anniversary.  They didn't have any but we did find this one.  It doesn't have a special name but it does have a rose scent. I went to see the label and it is called"OSO Easy Italian Ice." I hope it survives our winter weather.

I am going to move a Knock Out rose and put this into its place.  The Knock Out will be moved over onto the land where the voles  destroyed the flower bed.

Thanks for checking in today.

Thirty Six Years Today.....

The roses seem redder this year and they look like they will last in the vase for a week anyway. It is hard to believe all that goes on in 36 years of marriage but we are ready to have some more years.

We were not able to do anything special but will will order out a good meal at our Italian place. We are fifteen minutes away so it is almost like eating out. Prime rib and chicken parmesean is on the menu.

The hardy geraniums are standing up good during our heat spells.  I need toget some water on them to  make them grow better.

My yucca at the old place is going to bloom but these two have a few years to wait. I still think it is funny that I planted each of these in two different years. I didn't know the one was there as it had died down for a year.

I wanted zinnias and this is all I can fined  I will plant them and hope that I can get to the store soon. I bought these at the grocery store.

I am having problems with my right hand so I have to cut back on things for now.  I see that my spelling is better today so I am getting better.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Morning Clouds.....

Monday morning looks a lot like Sunday morning.  The sun keeps easing over to the seft in my backyard sky.

I really like how big the host plants are growing this year.

I took another try at taking a photo of lantana.

The yellow rose next to the stairs is doing so well right now. I bought it from Menards one years \ago and it is doing so  good there.

Two newer blooms next to an older one.

This is the best bloomer in the yard even though I do have some smaller ones in bloom.

The weather is warm today and the wind will bring in more heat through out the week.  We have a coupe more trips to the hospital for our friend. this week.  I trust everyone is doing well.

Thanks for checking in today.

Bricks in a Row.....

They are growing quickly. They have been in the ground for over two weeks. I am starting to water them every other day to make the get bigger

We actually had a sun rise this morning with the clouds breaking up for us. The sun is in the true east right now.

Many months before now the sun was coming up behind the house on the right.

It is Sunday. I hope all is well with you.  Thanks for sttoping by today.
