We haven't had much time this week to spend in the yard working or to just sit down and enjoy it for that matter. So for your entertainment, LOL, we are posting some of the pictures we took on Sunday after the rain had left the area. Their are a few I have included that Jimmy took today.

This is a photo of the chipmunks home. Before we bought the house this tree had apparently fallen and they did not remove the stump and left it laying on its side. We though it had a certain natural appeal to it and left it in place. We have English Ivy growing on it now and covering most it for the most part.

This is our Princess, Baby, she has decided that her place in the yard is atop the stump. I noticed Sunday that she was missing from the patio area. I looked down the hill and there she was, perched atop the stump.


Here is a picture from the lower garden looking back toward the house. You can see that the lilies are blooming and there are more coming. The Glads are starting to bloom as well.

The matins did not come to the garden this year. It is the first year we have had a place for them so we are hopeful that next year they will choose us. For the time being we do have a full house.

The Lantana is beginning to bloom and show its beautiful blooms.

These two pictures are of the hydrangea we have in the garden that are beginning to show their true colors.
In closing tonight I wanted to tell you about the Lighting Bugs we had tonight.
There were hundreds of lightning bugs. If they had all decided to light up at once it would have probably made the street lights go out. LOL. It was neat to see.
well bye for now and happy gardening.
Wade and Jimmy
