vege garden

My Raspberry Truffle conefloer is blooming!  Looks like something was munching a little on it.

Owls

Pictures my friend took.  So cute!  I love owl's!  Not sure what kind they are!  Look at Mama with her baby!  That's a baby only a mother could love!  The top one is adorable!

My new butterfly bush is blooming!  I love this color butterfly bush.  They call it Bicolor.  I hate this color mulch.  Wish I would of got the brown mulch.  I only put mulch down to try to keep some moisture in the soil because it has been so hot with no rain lately.

gladiolus and sunflowers

This is at the end of our canal.  There is a whole bunch of weeds, grass and wild lilys.  Little by little I am going to replace all of that with plants.  Just took a piece of lilac from my house-french sensation- It is purple with a little white outline on each flower when it blooms.  Also put a little piece of trumpet vine by the fence.  I also planted a few star gazer lilies and took some piece of my lambs ear from home.  I will update as I slowly add more.

Baltimore oriole

This is a few pictures out my window of a male baltimore oriole feeding from my hummingbird feeder

Swans and their babies, video of swans stamping their feet in water

Swans and their babies at the cottage.  So cute.  They started with 10, then down to 7, now there is 6 babies.

My Window box I just re did

The first pic is some sunflower I grew from seed, to the left of those is some hollyhocks I just started from seed.  In the next pic is a nastridium-which I just found out is actually a herb you can eat in your salad!  Next to that is some coleus and impatiens.  I moved the impatiens out of my flower boxes because I think it was too sunny there.
