Outdoor Wednesday & Almost Wordless Wednesday

Join Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday #26 Fun!

I just love these little curly cue's, I never tire of taking pictures of them.



Just a short video of my Rose of Sharon. It took them almost three years to adapt to the new environment. I transplanted them from my old yard when we moved into this new home. This summer is the first time they has bloomed since I planted them. I am getting such a kick out of watching the bumble bees. Nearly every blossom has a bumble bee hunkered down inside covered with pollen.


More curly-ness

Can I also share that I get so excited each morning to rummage around in the foliage of my veggie patch.
Look! Look! Look!

I love all the excitement coming from your post, and I also love all the new words I am learning.. 'hunkered down' lovely. I shall try and bring that into a conversation and see the reaction I get.

Love Granny

Your excitement is contagious! You have me smiling, too! Love that little curly-que and the baby veggies. My SIL gets so excited she emails us pictures of her new veggies. LOL! Life should always be like that. We should delight in the simple things and just smile all day and make people wonder what we're up to!

Happy OW...

XO,

I love the buzzing of the bee. I didn't even know what a Rose of Sharon looked like, but I do know the literary ref. in the Bible and in Grapes of Wrath. What are those curlies?

Loved the pictures of the garden and I admit to a few feelings of jealousy. Most times we have a vegetable graveyard, instead.
They look beautiful and delicious.

I'm very excited because I just found my first teeny tiny evidence of a tomato on one of my plants today. This is my first attempt at growing them in containers.

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Project 365 ~ Week 12 ~ It was a Muffinhead kinda week…..

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
