Hydrangea In The Cottage

A southern favorite and always 

welcomed in our cottage during

the summer months.

Have a blessed day, everyone!  Dee Dee

Zinnias

They grow in a large pot located beneath

a small palm tree.  The sunlight is filtered,

protecting the young and tender plants.

Today I brought a few inside and placed

them in a kitchen window.

Summer is fun......

Have a sweet ole' day.....Dee Dee

Summer On Honeymoon Island

I took this photo some years back....

 typical scenery, weekends

on Honeymoon Island.

Definitely need shade....the sun is so hot

and temps reaching into the 90s.

I love watching families.....they bring

all the necessities for the day.  Coolers,

umbrellas, beach towels, lawn chairs....and 

the list goes on.

I hope your having a wonderful summer.  Dee Dee

Birthday Pink Hydrangea

We share the love for flowers,

my youngest daughter and I.  Her 

garden is home to a variety of

beautiful flowering plants.

One of our favorites is the

"Hydrangea".

She presented me with a 

beautiful pink hydrangea on 

my birthday.

Every angle seen with my

camera lens, proved it 

exquisite beyond words.

I hope you've had a blessed

Lord's day.....Dee Dee

Crape Myrtles In Full Bloom

Every year these are the first 

Crape Mrytle shrubs to bloom

and the most impressive.  The color is

amazing.....

I'm never disappointed with nature.....

love these giant clusters of pink.

The crape myrtles go dormant in the 

winter...appearing as sticks.  Come

spring they begin their transformation.

Glad you stopped by....

have a blessed day. Dee Dee

Summer Garden Images

We couldn't be more pleased with how things

are looking in our tropical garden.  The colors

blend so well....multi-colored crotons we planted

three years ago are thriving in one of our larger

pots. The smaller variety of palms are reaching

unexpected heights, towering over the pool. 

We accomplished all we wanted to do in the 

garden....new plants, trimmings and fertilizing,

just in time for the high summer temperatures.

Now, we sit back and enjoy summertime.

Sweet blessings for all.....Dee Dee
