Summer, Yucca and Roses

The other day we stopped by the bank and as we were pulling out, I spotted these lovely roses. So of course...snap...snap...snap went my camera..smile..  They were so pretty.

Do you remember these umbrella trees (that's what I call them since they are shaped like an umbrella?) We drove by them and I thought their still very pretty! Also, it shows how 'green' it is here.

 Here are some more flowers from the bank. Not sure who their gardener is but they certainly do a wonderful job!! Since their pretty now, they will just flourish this summer.

 



Tom went out this morning and took this picture of one of the blooming yucca plants. They are so pretty.

I cut the picture to get a close up of one of the blooms.

 

Today, we had a 'hot' summer (tomorrow) day. It was 88 degrees and is to be that hot again tomorrow!! I know summer officially begins tomorrow, but it was having a good start at it today!! smile..

 

My daughter was in Charlotte, NC at a rugby game..and it was terribly hot there too..

 

And my son is playing with his band in a town south of here, in this heat!!

 

What is your weather like where you are as you approach the first day of summer?? 

God's Blessings

Yesterday I was out on the deck, I spotted this little squirrel running around the tree! When he spotted us, he froze in this position! Funny.............

I had been down stairs stretching and exercising, so I thought we'd step out and see what was blooming in our backyard!! Here is that bush I showed you earlier. Still not sure what it is, only that it's pretty and smells so sweet!!!

I only had my cell phone with me so took these photos with it! I was so excited to see all these volunteer pansies. They are so pretty!

Remember last year, when we had these gorgeous hanging baskets?? Well, they dropped lots of seeds I guess as that is where my volunteer ones came from..smile...

 Isn't it surprising how they just flourish in among the rocks??

 



 Their just everywhere...

I also noticed our yucca plant will have blooms on it this year! They are so pretty. Do you have one? Once it starts to bloom, I hope to get out there with my 'camera' and photograph it!!

 

Hope you're looking forward to a nice weekend!! I'd appreciate some prayers or good vibes that our weather stays good tomorrow. We're having our South Bottom's reunion dinner tomorrow night...than a potluck dinner Sunday!!! Their saying rain and storms..sad..
