Today when I got home there was a small squirrel under the tree. He did not look familiar. He might be quite young. I didn’t go outside and soon he was on the feeder. I went to go relax and came back to find him – face in the bird bath. He drank for the longest time and then headed back to the tree. Time to go out and fill up that water.
I was hoping for a rainbow today. When I left work it was not raining at all. As I got close to our town the skies opened up and the windshield wipers started going. Within 10 minutes it was done. But alas, no rainbow.
Today I can’t choose between four pics. The Ivory Queen hosta started sending up scapes yesterday. The Hush Little Baby daylily opened it’s second bloom today. (That is new to our garden this year.) And our cream daylily (sorry, no name) bloomed for the first time today. It is missing a petal but we still love it ❤
We also have a hide and find picture. Check out the bird feeder and also an incredible capture of what is probably a dove in flight.
“Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? Luke 12: 27-28
I decided today that I would love to begin sharing pictures from our garden, along with a short daily blog. My goal is to provide my favorite picture each day, and then share a highlight of our time in the garden.
A few years ago I decided to simplify our garden. “Only” daylilies, asian lilies, hosta, and sedum are added to our garden nowadays. We have other plants, like a beautiful hibiscus and two huge shamrock plants that are old timers, and they have cherished places as well. OK, and an occasional potted tomato plant. Yum!
Our garden is one of our favorite places. We watch the sunrise and sunset, listen to and watch an ever growing variety of birds, watch for two white squirrels that live nearby, and enjoy the beauty of what is growing and blooming.
Right now the daylilies are absolutely delightful. Today’s pic is one of my favorites – ‘South Seas’.
Enjoy!
