Between Blooms


Hello, I hope you are doing good, my friend!  Right now in my garden is a time of excitement and a need to be patient.  We are in between the Spring blooms and the Summer ones that aren't mature quite yet.  There is plenty of excitement in just waiting and wondering what this season will bring.  Let's take a look back so we can have a hint of what's to come.

First things first is I throw a white quilt or comforter over each of the red sofas.  It visually brings the temps down when it has heated up outside.

I like to bring blooms in and tuck them in different places indoors.

Our gardenia bushes smell wonderful.

There might be a late night dinner surrounded by roses and rose of Sharon.

I discovered the beauty of dahlias last year and never could quite get enough photos of them.

The buds on the rose of Sharon are always alluring to me.

Blue hydrangeas are always pretty.  What will the newly transplanted one do across the yard?

Zinnias pack color and enthusiasm.  Will this year's giants be a bigger showoff?

    I have that flour canister.
    We are kindred spirits in the world of blue and white and hot colored flowers.
