Flower Garden Photos From June and July

 I walked around the garden one morning at the very end of June after a night of heavy rains. 



















I have no idea what these hanging vines in one of the mixed pots I bought is but I loved that mid-way through July they had all these tiny bright pink blooms on them!

    Wow, so pretty! Love the variety of colors in your beautiful flowers. Many of my flowers bloomed in early June and are, sadly, no longer in bloom.

    So very beautiful! Such lovely colours. My garden is screaming out for a little bit of rain, but it will have to wait...

      Thank you! We've had lots of rain-- usually in the evenings or overnight so that helps our garden stay nice and green.

    Gorgeous! I wish I had more flowers in my yard. I am really into zinnias now. My hydrangea still has a few blooms. It was so pretty this year and I'm so grateful!

      My hydrangeas are a variety called endless summer and once it blooms they stay bloomed until fall but the blue will slowly darken to a purple and then a deep reddish purple color. They're pretty neat.

      Me too! I have told my family a few times that if I had to landscape all over again I'd just plant all sorts of varieties of hydrangeas everywhere.

    Joanne,
    Thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind comments...Yes, the faux brick/stone wall did come out as I envisioned and I am very happy that I did it..The one thing I learned a long time ago is that everything pops out with rich color behind it....Have you ever noticed that on TV and in movies, most "homes" do not have white walls??? I do love the cardigans I bought too...Glad you were able to pick up some great buys for your son's dorm room!!!
    Thanks so much for hosting!! I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into it along with visiting all the links!!
    Hugs,

      Yes, we don't have any white walls in our house either! I love color much too much to live with plain white-- though I do and can appreciate that aesthetic in other people's homes.

      I am just awful at knowing what is wrong with my plants when they aren't doing well.. I do not have much of a green thumb. One of my rose bushes-- my favorite coral one. Has gotten eaten alive by something this year and looks like lots of dead sticks poking out of the ground and I have no idea what to do about that. But I had years where my hydrangeas look awful and others where they are nice and lush and full so I've got to assume it's the weather.

      I've only had one that couldn't hold up to the heat but I've made it a point to water anything in a pot every night when I get ready to start cooking dinner. The ones planted in the ground seem to be holding up okay since we are getting rain at least once a week.

      I'm pretty sure the deer ate one of my rhododendrons over the fall/winter because I have one that is just branches this year and hasn't had a single leaf on it.

    Your flowers are so beautiful! It's reminding me that I need to get out my camera and take a closer look at the flowers in my own yard too. There's something about seeing them through the lens of a camera (even if it's a phone) that makes me notice the details much better!

    I enjoyed the walk around your garden to see all the beautiful flowers blooming. I'm especially fond of the first one which I think is a dahlia, and also the small vine that hangs downward.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing.
