Sunny Day

 

 I have two hummers that seem to fight over the feeder. They don't like it when the wasps or bees eat at the small little holes. 

A late afternoon rain front brought us a double rainbow. One would have to leave the suburbs to see both ends of it. 

It has been a long time since I have seen this complete shape of one. The double rainblow showed up while we were out on the deck admiring the view. 

The weekend rains were good for the backyard plants. Our neighbor bought a new flag to fly over his swimming pool area. 

The volunteer, accidental planting of the sunflower has proven to be a positive to the backyard.  They were slow to start in their growth but they have certainly taken off to be big.

A new day lily is looking good in the area where my hollyhocks did not grow this year. I have seem to have lost them due to the winter weather. 

This large lily is now starting to bloom. I have been watering to encourage its growth. If this one is blooming I have another in the back corner that should be blooming. It is a smaller size of this same color. I can't see it very well with the peony foliage and iris that fill in to block the view. I will venture out tomorrow and check for its progress. 

 I flew my backyard flag on the day and I did get a picture of it. It is the older flag that was replaced by the new bigger one that my wife gave for the front door. Well the last of the leftover fireworks were shot off last night. The areas south of us are not under the same laws as us so they can fire them off whenever. They must of have had leftovers and Sunday night seemed to be a good night to do it.

Tomorrow is a new day and there are things to do with the roses, and weeds, and yard stuff. We will be less hot but we will still be hot. My neighbor lady gave me three batches of Pepsi to drink while I mow her yard on hot days. I told here I had to use double ice with diet Pepsi to bring myself back to life.

Thanks for checking in today.
