What’s in Bloom

Now where did those pretty flowers come from?? Why, my yard of course! Since I don’t have much to update on the craft (or baby) front, I thought I would share a few more peeks into my world. Oh, and side note to my MOTHER…. I sacrificed about half the blood in my body to get these pics! You know the mosquitoes are bad when you walk into the grocery store and there is a sign on the front door that says ‘bug spray, aisle 5′. She usually comes in the early spring or late fall when everything is done blooming and always asks for me to take pics of what’s blooming. She did send a ton of ‘hippy mosquito products’ as Jerome calls them (if it was up to him, he would fog the whole yard…). I have to tell you though, Mom, the girls love the glow in the dark mosquito braclets! They said they worked great at the cottage…

Here’s some of the flowers in bloom.

The hummingbirds live in that last one. It is right outside my back door and visible through the living room window. I love to sit (with my feet elevated, of course) and watch the hummingbirds.

Does anyone know what this next one is? It’s really tall, probably about 5ft high and fuzzy!

And, we can’t neglect the fruits and veggies, can we?

Hiding inside of that crazy overgrown bed are these.

And also these.

More veggies.

Last but not least, the fruit. While something (bird, bunnies, neighbor kid…) has been munching on the strawberries, we do have about a zillion peaches that are ripening.

As well as a few more raspberries hanging on for dear life.

Phew! That was a lot of pics. I would like to tell you that our yard is just a haven of beauty, but in actuality right now it is an overgrown jungle. Personally, I like it that way. I do wish I had the energy to get out and thin things and weed (not to mention identify half of what we have! I actually know very little about plants…), but between the beach ball resting in my pelvis, the heat and the FREAKIN MOSQUITOES, it will be an overgrown jungle for now. At least it is our little jungle….
