Friday Storms

Last Friday around 5 pm, a storm came rolling in with lightning. The temperature
dropped and Mandy and I went out on the to watch  the storm come through. I snapped
a few pictures of what is blooming now.

The storm from my porch, after this picture it really got dark fast.

I snagged some roses from the house next door for the porch.

Blooms from bulds I picked up from Big Lots, like the Gladiola.

These plants come back from last year.

My tomato plants are growing like crazy.

The Yarrow and Queen Anne's Lace from last year.

I spotted a cute little snail on a leaf and a hummingbird flew up on the porch near us,
but I couldn't get to the camera in time. Happy July!

Summer Flowers In my Gardens

With all the rain we have had in my yard, my flowers are beautiful this summer. Some of the
flowers are from seed and some are from a bare root and there are the ones that came back from
last year. So here we go....

Salvia in my large urn with fresh herbs.

Geraniums and ivy in my urns that flank my front door.

Impatients in the plastic window boxes that I found in my garden shed.

Bachelor buttons in several colors.

Some type of purple flowers and a yellow Daisy.

Little white flowers and a Trumpet Flower,

Coreopsis and Cosmos, these guys get really big.

Queen Anne's Lace and new and old Yarrow in bath the front bed and my back bed.

Blue Bells and Hydrangea that come back each year. The Hydrangea has come with the to
the houses.

Geraniums and Day Lilies in pots on my steps.

Hollyhocks, snapdragons and existing flowers in my back garden. The rainy days are gone and
