Summer garden

Beginning notes for my summer garden include lots of flowers that will make for great backdrop of photos as well as photographing the flowers up close. It also includes a small garden of delightful foods, sweet potatoes, radishes, rosemary and mints. Oh I can't forget the spinach and rhubarb!

no dirt!

My granddaughter isn't too big on getting dirty. She happily 'helped' me by watching. But she didn't want to put her hands in the dirt and when she did get some on her hands, I snapped a very quick photo from an awkward position. I was sitting down and she was coming at me to wipe off the dirt from her precious little hand. Love this baby girl!




and I know I promised photos from the fundraiser, but just haven't gotten around to processing them.

Neighborhood beauty

Love the color!





Roses are always a favorite!





Mine.



It's so nice to live in a neighborhood where people really care about the appearance of their yards and homes! I did some drive-by shooting yesterday evening and got two photos that I really think are wonderful. I love the blue house only around the block and the sprinklers just happened to be going. Can you see it? The colors of this place are awesome and the flowers are just enough appeal without being overdone.

The roses blooming on the weathered porch posts are only two doors away from the blue home. I wonder how long those roses have been there. Just beautiful.

And the little garden cherub is in my front yard. The flower we just planted this weekend but my cats knocked the bloom off so I stuck it there for the photo.

Have a great day!
