Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering Gods grace in its various forms.

Photo Post

Lovely yellow iris - they are growing all over the yard.

Unknown yellow flower - they, too, are very prolific around the house.

Unknown perennial - has clusters of little pinkish flowers later in the summer. Sure wish I knew what this lovely plant was!

Wild raspberry bush sprouting forth little white buds. Yummy!


Absolutely stunning large dark purple iris.

Another unknown perennial flower that pops up all over the yard...the bees adore it!

Perfectly friendly pink geranium.

Delicate beautiful pale pink columbine...it's petals are almost translucent. Also growing wild all over the place!

Newly planted perennials - in the foreground, Shasta daisy, in the middle a Black-eyed Susan, and behind the azalea, David's Lavender Phlox. Already established are two colors of Violas and a second Black-eyed Susan. Trying to get a butterfly/hummingbird/bee friendly garden! I think I'm also going to pepper the empty spaces with some low lying brightly colored annuals.

Lastly, more of that delicate columbine. This time in a lovely dark pink.

Still working on the hexie afghan and loving every minute! Stay tuned for updated pictures and hopefully some of my MIL modeling her lovely sweater vest after I give it to her this weekend!

Stay safe and have a lovely week!

  1. Thanks for visiting my place. :)

    I love the wrist warmers. I made a pair for a Christmas present and was really wanting to keep them for myself. So this pair is all mine. :)

    Love all the plants and flowers in your yard. I love Columbines. Their colors are so pretty.

    Have fun with the hexies!

  2. The flowers is absolutely amazing, anything I tried to plant, are either almost or completely dead.

    Now I have to go take some pictures of whatever still alive in my garden.
