My Gardens

A bumblebee on my milk weed. I have lots of this growing for the Monarch butterfly.

I am so pleased with all the colors my hydrangea bush has this year.

This is a picture of my purple clematis climbing up the front of my porch. I'm not sure how I got this off center. But I did.

I picked a bunch of my hydrangea's from the garden. I also did the vase.

This is a updated picture of my one vignette by my shed. I can't believe how it grew. But we have been having a lot of rain and hot weather.

A picture of my garden taken from the street. The wheelbarrow is doing great also. In front of it is my bee balm.

I have three birdbaths in the gardens for the birds, but in this one I have vintage rose petunias, planted.

I just love hollyhock's, and this one is beautiful. So this is an updated  post of my gardens. As you can tell, I love gardening. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Baby Birds

A Robin built a nest in my firethorn bush, right out side my living room window. So I had a birds eye view of her building the nest, laying the eggs and hatching the babies and feeding them until they left the nest. This is when they first hatched.

A few days later.

The day before they left the nest. They left before they should have.

This was from a different nest, but it followed me every where I went. So I got my camera and told it to pose, and it looked right at me. It was so cute.

Gardens

The pictures are of some of my gardens. A container in the garden. You will see chicken wire thru out my gardens. It is to keep the rabbits from eating my flowers. And today I found a nest of 5 baby bunnies, they are so precious, but they love eating my flowers. Not good. I don't have my mulch down yet, not until all the spinners are down.

My wheelbarrow is planted with all kinds of flowers.

Forget-Me Not's and the lavender flower is a new one this year, called Velvet Elvis, love it.

My Poppy's has over 40 buds, they are just starting to open.

This is taken from the road. That's my little coal bucket in the front with all kinds of flowers in it. I will be so glade when I can get my mulch down, it sure makes a difference. That's it for now I will be posting more, later. 

Enamelware

These pictures are some of my enamelware collection. This is a pan with a lid, that I bought at the mud sale two years ago. Not sure what kind of pan it is or what it was used for. I just liked it, so I bought it.

These are some tan and green pans.

I love this little roaster. I bought it in Florida and the cup I bought at the antique market.

Love this grinder, it is made in Germany.

This is a European coffee biggin.

My son got this for me for Christmas. I just love this. It is a utensil rack with tools[that's what they call it]. It is green and white..

A muffin tin in the gray, and a white coffee pot.

My husband got me these for Christmas, they are European stacked dinner carrier's.

A tan and green dipper and an invalid cup. Never saw one of these before. So this is some of my collection. Hope you enjoyed it.

Birdhouse/cat

This is at my same friend's house, that has the sheep. We were taking a tour of her flowers, and yes this is her cat Rajah, he is beautiful. He jumped on the fence to check out the birdhouse.

He is checking out the birdhouse.

Rajah, on top of the birdhouse. He really is a beautiful cat. Then he followed us around the gardens.

Animals/sheep

I went to my friend's house last week to see the baby lamb's. Hope you enjoy the pictures, because they are so precious. This is Ebony, in the foreground and Onyx in the back. The mother only feeds Onyx, she will not take care of Ebony, she has to be bottle fed. And I got to give her, her bottle. How cool was that?

Another picture of them. It is so relaxing to be sitting right there with them running around and playing. I love to visit her. And the grounds are beautiful, she is a master gardener, so you can see why I love to visit her.

Oh, so precious. The bigger one in the back, is six month old.

This is a older one, and she was coming over to see me. And that was my visit with my friend and the sheep. 

Repurpose

This is my wicker bed tray, I got it at a antique place. This is the before picture.

This is the after picture. I painted it white. I like that better.
