Wandering around the garden

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…

Lots of things flowering now…

    Jack looks like a good companion for your gardening chores - just have him dig the holes!
    I'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!

    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;)

    Lovely 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.

    Re 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..

    The white flowers are Mountain Laurel..they would look lovely growing on the top of your motorhome!

    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.
