This time of year is so pretty. The bees are busy. The birds are building nests and we get to enjoy our beautiful gardens.
The Lady bank Roses are in full bloom. They look so lovely trailing over our fence
Lavender, Lilacs, Wisteria and Rosemary are all blooming now. The weather has been quite nice.
It smells so lovely outdoors. I love watching the bird. bees and butterflies.
I will definitely have to do some trimming later.
I had to share this tiny hummingbird nest. The nest is in a rose bush at my Mom's house.
We have birds that come back every year to use their nests. One is in the large sun and we also have birds making nests in an awning.
I haven't posted too much this week, due to my dad not feeling well. Thank you for your prayers.
He is in the hospital again. They drained two quarts of fluid off his lungs. He also has heart failure...meaning his heart muscle is not squeezing hard enough. My mom and I spent many hours at the hospital yesterday, trying to get some answers. My dad feels like someone has pulled a plug.

Good afternoon Linda, you have a stunning garden, filled with so much colour and perfume. It must be a joy to sit in your garden.
ReplyDeleteI adore roses, they are my favourite flower. We have to wait quite some time for our flowers to bloom, so it was such a treat to enjoy your garden.
I am so sorry to hear that your father is unwell. You are in my thoughts.
With warmest wishes.

Hi again, I sure miss no. Ca's beautiful trees~we have lilac here and some nice trees, but I always remember how beautiful it is when we are back. We were in Santa Rosa two weeks ago and while I miss the beauty, I don't miss the traffic.
ReplyDeleteYour yard is breath-taking.
