Today's Garden Pictures

Today while sitting out on my front porch with my son, I decided to snap a few more photos of some of my garden plants. A few of them are of my humongous sage plant. Sage tastes great in potato dishes. the other photos are of my pink Rugosa rose bush and my barberry bush.
My sage bush in bloom. The butterflies and bees love it!

  4. Hello Eva, It really is a joy to be out in my yard. Especially watching all the beautiful butterflies that visit my plants and bushes. I also have a lot of hummingbirds visiting the hanging plants on my front porch. They come to sip the nector out of my hanging petunias. I can't wait for all my lavendar plants to bloom. At times there are 5 or 6 pretty butterflies visiting one plant all at once. Have a great afternoon!

  6. Hello Osama, Yes I do remember you! I'm happy you came back to visit me. I hope you are doing well. I figured the reason why you closed your blog was because of your situation. As soon as it opens again I will visit you there. Make sure you and your family are totaly safe before reopening it, because that is the most important. I'm so sorry to hear that things are bad where you are living. I really do pray for peace for you, your family and the others who live in and around your country. Nobody should ever have to live that way.

    Thank you for the wonderful complement. I just love gardening and making my yard look beautiful in the summer. Winter is so long here with nothing to look at outdoors, I look forward to my fresh veggies and blooms. Have a wonderful day and I look forward to visiting your blog again.
