May

Finally May has arrived!

"The flowers appear on the earth,

the singing of birds is come,

and the voice of doves is heard

in our land:

The fig tree putteth forth her green figs,

and the vines with the tender grapes

give a good smell..."

Song of Solomon 2:12-13

Happy First Day of May!

Have a barrel full of

beautiful Days fill with Sunshine

and flowers!

Until we meet again,

Be Blessed!

Weekly Foto's

Good Morning, it's time once again for

Friday Foto Friends

We visited Dickey Farms this week

with two of our daughters and some of our

grandchildren.

They have the best peach ice cream ever!

It's a fun and relaxing place.

I could sit and rock for hours.

There's hubby waving at me.

They have no shortage of peaches.

Across the street is an old store. 

They are still in business. 

The owner opens at 3:00, he runs

a mail route in the mornings.

Got some photo's of my Hosta in bloom

and my Rose of Sharon.

My daughter has  a magnolia tree,

I know it's at least 50 feet high.

The honey bees were having breakfast

when I took this Foto.

I will be linking with Deb at Breathing in Grace,

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!

Spring Beauty on my Daily Walk !

By my front steps, Azalea's !

Dogwoods line the street.

This Dogwood is next to my house.

My next post will be "The Legend of the Dogwood"

I am so happy to see flowers bloom and leaves coming out on the trees.

Azalea's two houses down from mine.

My neighbor pruned their Crape Myrtles this week.   

Got two rockers for my front porch, after cleaning all the pollen off it will be "porch sitting time"!

Have a Blessed Day!

May Flowers

April showers brings.....

May Flowers!

With all the rain and cool weather in April, it was good for all the plants.  I have been enjoying time outside working in my flower beds....but not enjoying all the sore joints in my body afterwards!

 Here is where I started with a new bed, it was just outside my patio and didn't grow grass too good...so

I turned it into a flower bed.

This is it finished .

oops didn't get the blocks straight!

I found this large butterfly at Hobby Lobby back in March on sale.

 Roses are one of my favorites.

Love the Japanese Iris in all it's color and glory!

Always have to include a teacup, even if I can't drink from it!

 

The Angel Trumpet is coming up, I really do have it planted too close to my Knock Out Roses, just have to keep it cut back away from it as it grows.

Hostas  doing good!

These are the Daylilies from my Mother's garden, when she passed away, my sisters and I got some.

They grow pretty each year.

I had a few visitors while I worked, they are always welcomed! 

The Brown Thrasher is the Georgia State Bird and the Cardinal loves to feed on the Safflower seeds.

Can you see the Lizard on the fence?

Here's a closer look,

Have a Blessed Day

and

Enjoy all of God's gifts!

First Spring Flowers

I stepped outside and to my surprise, I saw these 

daffodils and had to run and get my camera,

Spring is differently on it's way!

I think they may be multiplying!

Have a Blessed Day!

Thinking of Spring!

I have been having trouble with downloading

photo's onto my blog. Over night it decided

to be nicer to me. Thankful it is now working

right!

It has warmed up a little this week and has me

Thinking of Spring!

  

 

Ready for Spring flowers and warmer weather!

Oh I am, so ready!

These are some of my flowers from last year.

The grass withereth,

The flower fadeth;

But the word of our God

Shall stand forever.

Isaiah 40:8

Have a Blessed Day!
