PINK SATURDAY POST

Celebrating Pink Saturday with Beverly at How sweet the Sound.

 This is my beautiful Water Lily in the ornamental pond in the back yard.  They are only open in the daytime and close at night.  I love them so much.

 This is my flower/veggie garden by the shed.  There are tomato and Banana Pepper plants tucked in among the Coleus and other plants.

This a is beautiful vine that I cannot remember the name of.  It climbs a trellis in the back of the house and was a gift from a friend last year.  I wintered it in the shed and it grew so quickly again once I put it out of doors!

The blooms are so large and beautiful, a real bright spot in the yard.

The shed garden again.  The color of the Coleus is so vivid.  My hubby loved them and their are such low maintenance.  Just keep them well watered.  The green plant in the center is the Pepper plant and it has little peppers growing on it already.  I also have tomato plants in there and have already picked a ripe one.  It has been very hot and muggy here for weeks but it has been raining in the night so good for plants and lawn.

Mourning Doves

Good Monday Morning to you all! We have always loved Mourning Doves and are blessed that we are able to see them up close and personal where they nest every year in the palm tree. They do not even mind when my husband climbs the ladder to get a face to face shot! Their nature is so calm and they seem so at peace with themselves and the world. I can understand why Noah would send the dove to seek land in the hope that the flood waters had receded in Genesis: 8.10 .

Do visit Donna at Mourning Dove Cottage site. http://donnas-art.blogspot.com . Donna's site is filled with color from her magical garden and her dachshunds, Otis and Riley seem to fit right in. You will have to smile! That is what I love about Blogging. Each friend brings you to another and we all have something in common, love of nature and expression of that place inside us that urges us to create.

Mourning Dove, Mourning Dove

You greet us each morning with your cooing love

Gentle soul upon the branch of tree

Thank you for bringing joy to me!
