The nights are beginning to get nippy and I am into my cosy jammies.
But the days are lovely and warm.
The rains have stopped for the moment, and I am hoping it stays that way as far as floods are concerned.
But the garden is thriving.
Everything grows so well.
I only have to look at it, to feel happy.
Ray has done a marvelous job.
We had one tree at the side of the house. I trimmed it back and planted three of the pieces on the side fence.
Now I have a wonderful show of colour.
under our front stairs.
I love your gardens.Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSummer is on its way, here. Everything is just beginning to bloom.
I know you have wonderful woods...so restful. Love ya Bonnie
DeleteWise Indian alright, he knows where to find the shade!
ReplyDeleteI love the Indians G. I learned all about the Trail of Tears when I lived in TN..and I bought Indian souvenirs back with me.
DeleteI love your cacti and flowering trees/ bushes. Your climate may be similar to ours in I recognize many of the plants you have growing there as ones we have here. Oh, enjoy your cool weather! I would love to experience outdoor cold in June/ July!

ReplyDeleteOh Susie, the seasons are confusing. So much so..that I could not believe how cold TN was. My home and garden are old fashioned like me. xxxxxxx
DeleteDear Crystal, . . . thank you for showing us your home and taking us on a tour of your garden. Wonderful photographs. My niece gave me a poinsettia for Christmas in 2010. I've tried to care for it carefully and it's blooming in my front hall now. The red leaves are smaller than the original, but still vibrant. That plant makes me happy each time I look at it!
ReplyDeletePeace.
Hello Dee, I could never grow Poinsettia in New South Wales but here in Queensland it thrives. I love them in pots also. Glad you have one. Their flowers are sort of leaves.
DeleteIt's so fun - thinking how it's warming up here - and getting chilly there . . Creation is truly a marvel . . .
ReplyDeleteLove & Love to You!
-g-
Creation is amazing. I loved it that the BIG moon was seen all over the world. Love to you Gorgy
DeletePoinsettias growing in your yard...that just amazes me. We only have them here at CHRISTmas time!!! Your flowers are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, I know what you mean about only at Christmas...Thats when we had it in NSW. Here, its all the time. Can't wait for the mango's.
