I love nature, and weekends off. Here are some more photos I took this morning. I caught a busy bee doing his thing. Unfortunately, in one of the pics, you can see the handy work of a Japanese Beetle!!!
Here are some other shots:
Thanx for looking.....have a GREAT day. ^v^

I wondered around just now and took a few pics....
Still didnt get the Heavenly blue at its best.....was up too early, and then took a nap......but here is what I got!
Some of the old containers still doing very well. Vinca growing up nicely.
And a newer container. This was a rescue from Lowes:
Most of whats in the GIANT flower box are all rescues from Lowes too:
Double Red Althea:
I added a little more color to the front corner of the house, and the Hosta added a little color of its own recently. :
Sunflowers :
And some new Petunias that were clearance at Lowes:
Have a nice day!!! I have to work til Midnight thirty, but then I am OFF for the weekend. Weather is supposed to be beautiful here!!

Seven days early!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO. And, I FINALLY dont have to work at the butt crack of dawn, so maybe I can get some good pics of the Heavanly Blue Morning Glories tomorrow. I actually got a chance to see them today, as I got home from work before noon, and there wre about 10 or 12 BIG BEAUTIFUL blooms, but they had just started to close. I want to get them in all their, "GLORY" -- So hopefully tomorrow morning is the time, and I will share with you then.
Looking forward to getting some time to read some blogs.......have to go retrieve some pics and get my itunes and other things set up now.
Hope you are all doing well!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHH, my computer crashed. Seems the harddrive might be fried. Anyway, hvae been offline for a little over a week, and will probably be off line til about the 15th.-----I MISS YOU GUYS!!!!
At the library now, and have been busy, so I dont get here that often.....dang work for not having accesible internet.....AND the library has a no Myspace policy,,,,, yuck.
Anyway, in exciting garden news, the Heavely Blue Morning Glories have FINALLY started to bloom. I have had star of yelta for months, and didnt know where the heavenly blues were. Check this out though....I hav eonly seen them through cell phone pictures from my wife. I was out of town for a week, and now that I am back, I have worked every single morning, and leave before they open, and get back home after they close. I keep telling her to get the good camera out there. Hopefully there are some good opportunities this weekend, as I am FINALLY off.
I guess the worst news of all as far as the computer is yet to come. If indeed the harddrive is trashed, I may have lost about 5000 pictures that are NOT backed up anywhere, and NOT printed. I am crossing my fingers.
Hope you are all doing well. Hope to be back on line soon with photo updates for you all. Take Care. ^v^
