Welcome To Summer

Summer is here and our flowers and plants are doing GREAT!!



Our hydrangias are a little dry but looking purple. They can be blue or pink depending on ground acidity. I guess ours is in between, and Abby is thrilled they are purple.





Here are Abby's roses looking pretty good. Mine don't have any blooms on them at the momment to take pics of.








Emily's rose are incredible!!! They are Disney roses and had at least 20 blooms and buds on at one time!!!!










For Mom here are our Hosta that have decided to bloom, hard to see but they bloomed purple too. They came up out of nowhere, I guess the last people planted them and this summer here they are.









Here are our watermelon plants,they're doing good. They've doubled in size since I took the pic about 4 days ago!!









Another wierd plant that just appeared in our backyard. We found one like it at Lowes and it's called a Tropicana. I guess it gets some orange or yellow tropical flowers at some point. Hard to see but it has yellow and orange viening on dark red leaves.Notice watermelon reaching out to grab it.



Here are the girls in their new sandbox, they LOVE it. And Emily ONLY spent the first day "tasting" the sand.












The swiming pool is a big hit and is already dying a slow death. Guess we'll have to keep our eyes open for another one soon.






Here I am with my new summer fashion statment. I had my MRI last week, and go back to get results on Friday. by the way it's REALLY hot in the sun
