On the porch...

Sophie and I watching the rain.

 

 

                       Here is an Indigo Bunting sitting on the hanging flower basket.

 

Here is Mr. Bluebird sitting on a terra cotta plate eating mealworms I just put out.

 

                                       Zoe with her 'cloth' and rope. Silly girl.

 

 

                                                    ...and around the yard.

                                    ...thank you for taking a walk with me.

Lovin' my Irises!

Love in bloom...

 My first Frangipangi  .

These bloomed a few days later, with 6 flowers!
                           
 It has a wonderful sweet aroma.

A very 'Morning Glory ' to you...

This is what I found yesterday on my morning walk.

Just had to share with you!

Here are my favorite Iris ever. When we were in Kansas City, I had 5 shades of purple!

First Bearded Iris

...since we have moved to Dallas.

It made my day when I saw it! Hope it makes yours too.

Thanks Ladies...I am still laughting at myself! *smile*

Texas Bluebonnets

At tatting group last night, a few of us made these little 'pins'. Thank you Linda, for the idea and for helping me put them together...

heck I would still be working on them. lol Aren't they so darn cute!

Also, we worked on the Mock ring...now that was different. I did it...not sure how or what I did...so I think I will go and practice.

A nice surprise...

In the front lawn, today I found this little beauty....

So, now I have yellow to add to my red and ecru Licoris.

Ecru Licoris: 'spider lilly'

A rare find...

Isn't it beautiful!
Thank you Nette, my dear sister for sharing this rare color with me.

It's a Licoris

Common name: Spider Lilly.

The stem went from this to this.... it's pretty and a welcome surprise.

They come in red, orange and the rare ecru. I was blessed to be given one from my sister...

Please, if you care to visit in a few day, I will post a pic when it opens.

Speaking of my sister, (they live in New Iberia, La) even after Gustav went threw not even a week ago...her yard has flowers everwheres! Isn't God good.
