Ray of sunshine

Sunshine peeking over the fence.  I call it swamp hibiscus.  Don't know the botanical name.   It is just a pretty and large flower to greet first thing in the morning.

Sadly the beetles like them too.   I have to use some 7 dust to be able to see it bloom.



                               A squash seed I put in this pot and so far a pretty plant with
                                  blooms.

Potted tomato plant, so far so good

looking good

Mom (95) and g grandaughter Genevieve who will be 3 in October.


We took her out for a little ride and a frozen strawberry lemonade at Sonic.   So refreshing in this 90 degree heat.
Mom has two great great grandchildren.  Their  parents so far haven't made time for them to see her.   Rare to have a gr gr grandmother.

Friday


Miss Hollywood here

On our way out and she loves her sunglasses
Fun at the Science Museum

While having a bite at Wendys near our home.  I look up and just couldn't stop thinking how rare a sight through the window.  No buildings, parking lot etc.
Just nature, how pleasing.
Happy Friday

Forth


Independence day was rainy



 leaving the driveway for my sister's house  and along the driveway are

my gladiolas  

one of my very favorite flowers

The rain drops showing on the flower petals


Arriving at my sister's house

The fountain is moving water down it's two tiers


Onto the front porch


I do like stone houses




Boston baked beans a must

corn roasted in it's natural wrapper - THE BEST way to serve them I think
such good flavor

Anticipation 
little blurry but you can still see they are  just waiting for the go ahead to 
dig in

My niece moved back closer to home and so glad she did
She is a great photographer and a very busy lady

by the numbers

Finished my paint by number that Miranda gave me for Christmas.   Its soothing to me to sit down and do this.   I think of nothing else.  I wish I could paint without the numbers but I guess I just do not have the knack for that.





now off to get a frame for it
