We had a nice shower the other afternoon, then the sun came out.

I am often humbled and awestruck by the beauty of nature and the Wonder of God.

Here are a couple more irises that have finally bloomed for me this year.

Finally, a red amaryllis.

Wayne rooted a few hydrangeas yesterday and I am still watching my seeds sprout. I threw out a lot of zinnia seeds and am happy to report that they are coming up everywhere. I also have a few balsom coming back. Those things can get weedy at times, but mine are under control so far. I have only 1 bed left to clean up and I think I will go do that now.

Yall have a good day and see yall soon.

Have spent the past few days catching up on things.  Today, hubby planted our small veggie area--tomatos, cukes, banana pepper, marigolds.  Started seeds for a hollyhock called Indian Spring. I found these at Dollar General for 4/$1. They are suppose to bloom the first year. Let us cross our fingers.

Had a few crafts to finish up. This is my planter box.

My amaryllis beside the house bloomed...this is the biggest flowers it has ever had. I think it's happy.

Finally there was a toy horse that my sis found at a yard sale that needed some love.

I have a stand of iris getting ready to bloom, They didnt bloom last year so I cant wait to see them. I can see enough on the tops to know that they will have purple on them. Here is a pix of a blue iris in my front bed.

I moved my portable greenhouse out of the sun and took the plastic off for my remaining seedlings. It was getting much too hot in there.  My jasamine looks like it will bloom soon...cant wait for that. Our neighbor gave us a big catfish he had caught and tonight my darling husband made a stew. My sis and her family came over and we had a delightful meal and were able to sit outside a while and shoot the breeze. Love this time of year  before the heat and humidity sets in. Talk to yall soon.
