Ornament received!


This is the newest ornament in the ornament exchange. The one I sent hasn't been received yet so I'll save that picture for another day. I am enjoying this exchange. We are only mailing every other month so it hasn't been stressful - yet.
Worked out in the yard again this weekend but I think the fat lady (that would be me) is singing - this is the last bed I'm going to do this year. It is just getting too hot and staying out in the heat like that is just an invitation for a migraine. Anyway - this is the side yard. Ignore the fact that the yard needs to be mowed.


I should have taken a close-up of the morning glories at the bottom of the trellis. Those are the ones I started from seed a few weeks ago - I hope they get big enough to actually climb the trellis and bloom - I should have started them sooner but I'll know next year!
Hope you have a great week.

Good morning Tina. Yes, I still love my green bathroom. Sometimes I forget about it and walk in and BAMMM it reminds me. It really stands out from the rest of my quiet , still home. I guess I just needed to spice some things up. I read a few post ago about your hydranreas. I just planted six and took pictures for a future post. Scary.. I live in Louisiana and mine are a bit droopy as well. I thought it was because they were newly planted. Guess I'll just have to see. I will keep checking back on your comments if you dont mind. Maybe someone will have a wise word for us. Take care, Susie H

I tried to take a picture of my Esperanza yesterday with my "new" fancy camera. Unfortunately, I don't know now to operate my new fancy camera so the picture came out blurry. Really blurry. I'll try again, though. I want to show you how pretty a plant it is! lol I think I love it so much because this Texas sun doesn't damage it one little bit. It seems to thrive in it, as a matter of fact. It amazes me that ANYTHING can thrive in this heat. :)

Very nice ornament.

Lovely flower beds. I know about getting out in the heat. Don't like it either. You have done a lot of work outside.
