Walking in my Sunny Yard




These days are so hot now that I don't get outside as much as I would like. Yesterday I did venture out for a walk around the yard to see how things were growing.

    It was a clear sky day and the Rose of Sharon
was so pretty, I love the color.



       The Petunia hanging basket is growing and spreading.



       The Moss Rose also is growing.
      I love Moss Rose!




This is the pretty Pink Crape Myrtle in my neighbor's yard, but I can see it from my back patio.



Can you see it?
 (across the street)


So the plants are doing good in the mid to high 90's temperatures.
We are enjoying our new neighborhood.


I put this photo on Facebook, thought I would include it here also. I do a lot of porch sitting.

I do try to count my blessings everyday.
 Every day is a blessings!


These are rockers on the screen porch in the cabin we stayed in at FDR State Park, our favorite park to visit and stay in. I love Front Porch Rocking!

Have a Blessed Day!
I'm going over to Breathing in Grace
for Friday Foto Friends will come with me,
just click on the pink!

Sylvia, I loved all your photos. It's nice to get to sit and enjoy the flowers. I wish I had a screened in porch like the cabin you stayed in. Blessings for a great holiday weekend. xoxo, Susie

I do see the crepe myrtle, how nice you can enjoy it. All your flowers look so pretty, you must have a 'green thumb!' I love to rock on the porch too, I don't have a front porch but I sure do a lot of rocking on the back porch. Hot here too, supposed to be 96 on Monday, I think I might melt. Have a great day.

You have such a green thumb, Syl! I love all your bright patchesof color. We tried to grow a Rose of Sharon once but it didn't make it. I sooooooooooo need to add color to my otherwise pretty "green only" garden. My roses aren't doing well at all this summer. : - (

Hugs! Have a happy and safe 4th! ♥♥♥

Front porch rocking...I too love the porch though we do not have rockers just some comfortable nice wicker chairs. I would love to sit a spell with you and enjoy some sweet fellowship, Sylvia.

Your garden looks lovely.
Have a blessed weekend~

Front porch rocking is the best--especially when it's too hot to get out and about.
