Enjoy Summer, Everyone! :)

 I love sharing the seasons of my yard! :)
 It's fun to see what's in bloom from month to month! :)
 It's ever changing! :)
 The hydrangeas are tolerating the summer heat in the dappled shade! :)



 I like the variety that I have so far! :)


 The hummingbirds are happy the trumpet vines are blooming again! :)
 I even love the fluffy aftermath of the clematis blooms! :)
 Aren't they intriguing? :)
 I noticed the ornamental currents actually formed some fruit this year! Surprise! :)
 As well as the trumpet vines, the hummers have the last blooms of the flowering fig, ...
 And the full bloom of this red Crocosmia, and the honeysuckle! :)
 I took these photos of this fragrant rose through the window screen. :)

 This morning I noticed a tree frog nestled into one of it's spent blooms! :)
 It made me glad I hadn't deadheaded this old blossom yet! :)
The summer heat is keeping me from being out in the yard as much as I'd like to be, but if I time it right I can get out in the morning before it gets too hot! I love All the seasons and love the summer color! :)
Enjoy Summer, Everyone! :)

You Know You're A Country Girl When ... ! :)

    You know you're a country girl when ....
... You notice how tall the field grass is after a record Spring rainfall! :)
 ... You study the tall stand of hay with a smile of satisfaction on your face! :)
 ... You feel excitement when the hay gets cut! :)
 ...  You breath in the sweet fragrance with contentment, and grin! :)
 ... You marvel at the tall rows of hay after it's been raked! :)
 ... You go out and take photos so you won't forget how tall the rows are this year! :)
 ... You look forward to the next step, wondering what the bail count will be! :)
 ... You get a count, and rejoice at the increase in bails this year! :)
... You feel a rush of utopia as it's loaded up and headed down the road to feed someone's livestock again, this year! :)
... Oh the joys of being a country girl! :)
