Summer Garden

This is what is keeping me too busy to quilt these days. I really love the color we have in June. Soon it will be Hot Hot summer and the flowers will fade until fall when it cools off.

But for now we have Beautiful Color. Thank you Mother Nature!

Signs of Spring

After a really long cold, icy, wet, snowy winter, Spring is finally here! Well we thought is was until it snowed again last weekend. I love daffodils. They are a little bit of color in a very dull brown landscape. Soon the roses will be blooming and we will all be whining about the heat.

Summer In Texas

It was 109 degrees today! Hot, Hot, Hot. Too hot for many flowers to bloom. But the Sunflowers are surviving. Thank goodness for air conditioning. I'm going to stay inside and sew.

Summer

I took this picture in May. The Photo is a little blurry but it was windy that day. I love the beginning of summer when everything is green and starting to bloom. Once the Summer heat sets in the blooms vanish. We've had to kill 6 rattlesnakes this year. You really have to watch where you step outside.(Ah, the joys of living in Texas) We moved into this house 2 years ago and the garden is slowly filling out. I add a few more plants each year. Some of the roses were already here.
