water drops keep falling on my head....

Remember, the old song?

"Rain drops keep falling on my head"

We were ever so glad to see

 the clouds & rain yesterday.

The above tool "friend" has become so dear to me.

It is just one of the many things which has taken me away from

the keyboard the past weeks.

The hibiscus enjoyed the refreshment.

This bloom opened this morning.

The stone pots on the deck have been filled

 with sun loving plants and are showing their colors brightly.

A close-up view of the marigolds with raindrops on the petals. 

Yellow by the way is my favorite color. :)

These salmon colored geraniums along with white ones

fill the window box outside the dining room window.

Such enjoyment to see through the window.

You can see a snip-it of the window box from this view.

It's amazing, how Our Creator's water satisfies them

so much better than the water from my water hose.

My husband & I planted a herb pot.

This is our first year to plant herbs.

We are enjoying the mint, lavender, rosemary

and the other herbs.  I added a little color with the

marigolds and ivy in the front.

  The ivy has not begun to

trail down the side.

  But, will add a nice touch when it does.

I know!  I must prune or get busy cooking!

One of the two, because the herb pot has gone wild!

A hanging basket which hangs from the gazebo.

I have planted eight hydrangeas in the back of the house.

(with help from son & sweetheart)

This bloom held on for sooooo long. 

I had to share my bargain!

The nursery had the 3 gallon pots marked down to $5.

They were not sure of the colors, two had pink blooms.

I can't wait to see what the others will do.

  But, who knows - depends on the soil!

So I'm so excited about having fresh flowers on the table,

as well as drying a few.  

I have enjoyed a few breaks out on the deck.

But, our summer has been quite busy,

with sports for the youngest,

company & watering!

Hope you are enjoying the summer!
