Terrific Tuesday

 The sunshine is back and we wanted to share Iris photos that we took before the rainy gloomy weekend happened.

These blooms are in our backyard.

These bearded beauties were along our walk~

We saw Dutch Iris too~

Happy Tuesday!

Memorial Day 2026

 It's been a drizzly and dreary weekend but we are having fun anyway.   Mom puzzled and played with me at the same time~

We honor our soldiers who died keeping us safe~

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

We had a heat wave going on earlier this week and it was honestly, way too hot for May and we are so grateful that those high temps are behind us - at least for now.  

Leaving the end of our driveway we discovered a beautiful flower that we were not familiar with.   The internet says that it's Election Pink and it's in the Rhododendron family~

We found more fragrant Lilacs in bloom~

At home, our white perennial Bachelor Buttons are flowering~

Along our walk, the blue ones are blooming too!

Mom kept seeing this beautiful red flower and decided to walk over and see what it was.  It's a gorgeous Flame Azalea!

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥

Sundays' Walk on Monday

 It was warm yesterday morning around 7am so we stuck to walking where we knew there would be more shade.     The Choke Cherry is blooming and yes, we had to look this one up.   Mom was hoping that it smelled pretty but nope.  

We found a Crab Apple Tree in bloom~

Who knew these flowers would match the beautiful blog header that Miss Ann made for us!

This plant is growing everywhere and we looked this one up too.   It's called Garlic Mustard.  Thankfully, it's easy to rip out as mom finds it in her gardens where she doesn't want it.

I think I may be getting warm, mom~

I take that back.   It's hot, mom!

Time to head back home~

Happy Monday!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy today for Nature Friday~~

Early this week, when the weather wasn't raining or rain iffy, we saw fiddlehead ferns still curled up tightly~

We saw the beautiful purple money plant in bloom~

We saw a single cheerful yellow tulip~

The white dogwood is in bloom~

The wild geraniums are in flower everywhere!

The lily-of-the valley are in bloom and the fragrance is so intoxicating!

We are still seeing lots of azaleas in bloom!

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥
