Flowers in August

mandevilla

black eyed susans

trumpet vine

side planter

Our summer has given us beautiful flowers. Above are a few of my favorites. The madevilla I thought would never bloom is my best ever. My black eyed susans got a fungus but after treating them they are thriving. My side planter got a new caladium for the top and is doing well. My trumpet vine took years to bloom but is making up for it now.

A Beautiful Day at the Pool

The first to test the waters.









Now we have everyone
in and enjoying 85 degree
water temps.






Dylan had so much fun
it was hard to get out.

 



It was a great day at the pool today. A few teachers

and their children came to visit.

The weather was perfect and the snacks were plentiful.







Mosquito Valley Bear

 This morning on my walk I ran across a BIG black bear in a neighbors yard. I learned he was a tree hugger as well as had an itchy back. After he hugged that tree he turned around and had a good time scratching his back against that tree. Pictured above is a friend of his that happened to visit my yard a few weeks ago.

Look carefully at this one.

Humming bird has hit it's target.

As you may have figured
out I enjoy being outside in the summer. There's so much to see and do!

flowers to my yard.
