Photo shoot from the front porch




Baby yellow finch.  So happy to see that Mom and Dad had a baby.  I will have to keep an eye out for more.



More blooms in the flower garden.


My new addition to the flower bed is blooming wonderfully.

I almost had a close up photo of a Boston Oriole, but by the time I got my gimmpie rear to get my camera, he/she flew off.  Hubby and I got to see it though while playing cards on the front porch last night.  That's about all I accomplished, other than watering everything.

Beautifull birds I always get tickled when I see one of such color which isn't often. your flowers are pretty, I do like Tiger Lillies. Hope your back (hip) is feeling better I've had a few bouts of sciatica myself not fun. Moving around is your best idea I was told by a Dr.

Faith, thanks. I do feel much better moving around. I have the worst pain standing up in the morning and later evening, and sleeping is the worst.

Kristina,, love the sweet yellow Finch...We have something similar,, but not quite as bright and yellow.
Your Lilies are lovely,, I finally got around to planting some this year,, right now they are only a couple of inches tall.. but with all this crazy cold weather we are having over here in the N.E. part of Washington,, my garden is about a month behind everyone else...
Isn't it fun to watch the different birds? The best entertainment.. and it's Free!
Have a fun and safe 4th of July...

Katmom you are right about watching the birds. I've seen red headed woodpeckers lately too. And our hummingbird loves my flower bed and comes every year too.

Isn't that little finch as cute as all get out. I pray it makes it a long long time.
I pray we all do too.
Love to all.
God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
