Howdee all,
Here we are settled in at Sicksta Dells and Ghetto boys home for a few more weeks..
See Homey below on the left…
I will try and help around the garden if i can get out of my lazy slump.
I think it was the hot weather the past week..that made me lazy..
its cooled off the past few days…
Mountain laurelI have been wandering around the garden….looking for birds and admiring the flowers.
Lots of things flowering now…
Pink Knockout roses The birds haven't been coming to the feeders much…
DianthusI think its because there is an abundance of bugs this time of year..So between looking for birds…
A light pink DianthusI look at the flowers..
I don't know the names of most of Sickstas flowers..
Indigoferia I just admire them
Snapdragon Japanese cut leaf Red Maple
I play with the pups..Jack likes it when you kick the ball for him to chase..
Jack Its been very dry this Spring…and Sicksta is wishing for rain so that her well doesn't go dry watering all her flowers.. Geranium See the shed below..
A row of hearts..Ghetto boy makes Sicksta heart things..and puts them around the garden…
Rosemary Ghetto Boys ole blue truckI love the Knockout roses… On the hot days this past week..you might have found me floating around in the pool…i watched the birds while floating around on my back….

What a lovely garden. I hope mine looks as nice when it grows up! ;-)
ReplyDeleteA very pink post! Love the flowers!
ReplyDeleteYour sister has really poured her heart and soul into her garden, and it shows. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHows that Whippoorwill treatin' ya? lol!

Jack looks like a good companion for your gardening chores - just have him dig the holes!
ReplyDeleteI'm wishing for some lazy hot weather, I am headed to Estes Park tomorrow- they predict 1-2 ft of snow between now and then!
Nice pics - enjoy!
Wow, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI bet there are lots of angels and faries hanging around those gorgeous flowers and hearts.
Love those white flowering bushes your sister has! Jack and kali look like fun little friends to hang with. Looks like a real retreat to chill at a great price, and it even has a pool for those hot ones;)
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers--your sister has done a nice job with all of them. I think the maple is a japanese maple--the red maple is native but doesn't have that leaf. I went nuts buying flowers for the deck and yard this year too.
ReplyDeleteRe your comment on my blog: not exactly on blogger vacation but trying to get some naturalist and writing work done. I am way behind on posting some photos. I will try to do that today or tomorrow.
Looks like you're getting close to my neck of the woods..
Wow - such beautiful, vibrant blooms! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are in just the right location at just the right time of the year!
Bet you the lazy slump is nothing more than recovering from some amazing travels - y'all been busy.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos as usual.

Howdee..Yes you are correct about the maple.its not Red Maple but Japanese red..she is not sure of the variety.
We are in Carthage,NC probably not to far from you. Good luck with all the writing you are doing.
