Please allow me to share some pictures of some of my favorite things!
One of my favorite things about summer is the chance to plant and nurture beautiful flowers in my yard and on my deck! It is very therapeutic to me to be able to tend each plant...to pick off the dead blossoms and to see the new growth coming!
There is something very fulfilling about watching a plant develop...kind of like a child, but you can break a stem off of a plant and it will survive! One day recently, I stepped out onto the deck and just happened to look up at this enormous dragonfly on the petunia blossom! It was absolutely stunning! I hope you'll be able to see that guy in this picture...he's right in the center!
This is just one of several pots of flowers I have currently in bloom on the deck. I love putting different textures and colors together and waiting patiently for them to fill in to create a beautiful picture!
This summer is the first opportunity I've had in a long time to actually plant some new things in my front yard...so far, we've added three new rose bushes, some sunflowers, Jacob's Ladder and coreopsis! The hydraengea and lily are blooming wonderfully, as well! I hope to add a couple of pieris shrubs going by the name of "Pink Flamingo", adding color, texture and privacy to the front!
I just love to be a caretaker in the garden! Isn't God's Creation just lovely?
