Counting My Blessing
It continues to be hot and dry in Georgia. Each afternoon we have pop-up thunderstorms that seem to encircle our little area. I tell my husband we live in a bubble, where no rain comes in.
Despite that, I walked around - counting my blessings -
my dear flowers are all wilting and yellowing, despite my efforts.
But in the midst of that - there are some troopers!
The Black-Eye Susans and Purple Coneflowers are blooming.
The Tiger Lilies are reaching for the sky.
The Marigolds are doing beautifully.
The Crape Myrtles are bringing color to every corner of my garden.
The Swamp Hibiscus are beginning to bloom
The roses have not returned yet, but I believe in the next week or two to see some gracing the bushes in the garden.
This side of the garden is doing quite nicely with the Petunias, Dahlias, Lilies, Bouganvellia, and the Marigolds.
I limbed up the Loquat tree to give the plants near it more light.
It also gave an expanded view of the gardens beyond.
One day, when I have time, I hope to sit very still and to
capture the antics of the cute, little Hummingbirds. This
one is guarding the feeder from a few of his competitors.
I adore them!
I am thankful for the hearty plants that can withstand this
period of heat and drought - and for the knowledge that earlier this year,
things were verdant and blossoming beautifully - this will happen again!
Thank you for your visit, I am sharing this post with these
