Retired, housewife, mother of three. Picking up the pieces after God decided the 145 year old farmhouse was no longer the house for us. Praise God for His mercy and love!

A tiny update since the month is almost over.

 Doing well. We are blessed.

Been feeding birds. Cat TV as I call it for our 4 cats. :) They do not eat all the seed. Quite messy actually.

Here is a volunteer sunflower my son took a picture of yesterday.


It is growing near a planter with what is called "Blue Boa Hummingbird Mint". I do enjoy watching hummingbirds. I also have a planter with Impatiens growing. Red flowers there. But no picture, sorry.

A closer shot of the sunflower.


Some of my Zinnias. This is when they were looking better. They have grown quite bigger than expected since then. Quite literally falling over themselves. 


Hummingbirds like them, too. :)

As do little butterflies. At least I think it was a butterfly. :)


We've been enjoying a nice change from the normal Louisiana heat and humidity from summer, with temps below 90, but still humid.

But now summer with be returning next week, along with the heat. I thank the Lord that our AC is working.

You all be safe and God bless.

I miss you, Hun.

 It would have been 50 years today. 


Love your family while you can.

You all be safe and God bless.

Crazy thunderstorms the last couple days

 Birds waiting out the rain.


After the storm.


A few zinnias.



Look at the spines on this weed!


Hurricane season starts soon.

You all be safe and God bless.

A few pictures

 

Magnolia

Elderberry

Catalpa

The only way I've been able to grow "Red Hot Pokers".
Not as pretty as I'd like them to be, but until I can make a dedicated garden to grow them, there is no chance of them getting mowed over. :)

You all be safe and God bless.
