Bloomin' Tuesday!

We aren't sure where this Morning Glory came from. It is in our back garden.

It has a very light pink edge that doesn't show up too well in the pictures.

Our Hibiscus is really putting on a show this week. It must be happy with all the heat we have been having.

Here is a close up of one of the blooms.

The colors are so pretty.

Even it's back side is pretty.

Happy Bloomin' Tuesday everyone.

Secret Garden Tour - Garden #1

Welcome to the Switala Garden.

All of the cement is out of a barn that was being torn down. It all came from the foundation.

Doesn't this look like a nice place to relax?

More foundation used at the back of the house.

Love this rock!

They put in a dry river bed that their sump pump pumps in to.

Day Lilies


I hope you enjoyed the tour of the Switala's garden. I have 5 more gardens to show you, so stop back again. Mom's garden was the last garden we visited.

Bloomin' Tuesday!

We don't have a lot bloomin' this week, but this is one of my favorites.

Echinacea

We had a couple other colors, but they didn't seem to come up this year.

It is funny how the blooms look different when you take pictures of them.

Have a great Bloomin' Tuesday.

Secret Garden Tour 2010!

As most of you know, Mom and I go to the Audubon Society Secret Garden Tour every year they have it. This year, Mom was in the tour, so we got to tour the gardens the day after the tour. We all met at this garden for drinks and snacks.

I really liked this mushroom in her garden. I'm not sure if it is a light or not. There are a few spread out in her garden.

I'm really not into fairies but I really liked this one.

This lily caught my eye. I love the soft pink color.

Her pond was small but it made a big statement as you came into her garden. This garden wasn't on Saturday's tour but it has been in the tour in years past.The funny thing is that the garden is right up the street from us and I had no idea she had so much land in the back of her house. I have 6 more gardens to show you so come back soon.

Our 4th Of July!

Our niece Alexis couldn't wait to get in the pool.

We were invited to our niece Stephanie and nephew Nate's house for a 4th of July picnic.

About 20 people showed up to enjoy lots of food, games, swimming, a bonfire, sparklers, s'mores and family.

The Rogers family playing badminton.

Chris and I brought our Hillbilly Horseshoe game with us. It was a big hit since nobody there had ever played before.

Everyone kept saying that it was harder than it looked, but they sure had fun.

Brothers ~ not that you can't tell.

After a lot of game playing, it was back in the pool to cool off.

We started a fire a little bit before dusk and got ready to make some s'mores.

Just dark enough for sparklers. Even the big kids enjoyed doing them.

Everyone had a great time even though it was so warm out.

Thanks for a fun and relaxing day Steph and Nate :)

Happy Birthday!

Today my Baby Brother turns

Love you Baby Brother!
