Loving Creator, help me reawaken my childlike sense of wonder at the delights of Your world! ~ Marilyn Morgan Helleberg
Amongst the patches of Georgia red clay and overgrown rose bushes that hang over the way… even amidst the backyard play, there are things that grow every day…
A new daylily. Some from my Daddy’s yard and some from Mama Ann’s. Names like prairie moonlight, triple orange, little joy and my lady greensleeves.
Little raised bed garden and window sill delights: 1. First little squash! | 2. We are so excited Flat Christy of Southern Plate is here for a visit!! She helped Middle Girl pick a cucumber. (The red face paint was from Winshape C3 camp – another big part of our week!) | 3. A squash flower | 4. Little Buddy’s grass he planted at VBS last week. | 5. Cucumbers abound! | 6. The first sunflower to bloom.
Creatures and critters: 1. Our backyard bunny. | 2. I spy a spidey in the hydrangea | 3. Honeybees on sunflower. | 4. Mr. Grandaddy longlegs
And heavenly hydrangeas, of course.
A phone photo collage of all we’ve been enjoying during our outdoor time. Weeds, really tall rose bushes and all. So much beauty to behold.

How does your garden grow?
I love it, Tricia! Our Crepe Myrtle started blooming this week and we constantly are having Hydrangeas and Gardenias in the house — I love this time of year!!
Your phone gets great pictures!
Very, very pretty!
Now this Nana thinks that towering rose bushes are the best of all! Great post and pictures!
forever,

Beautiful gardens and wonderful photos! I have not been blessed with a green thumb, but I always enjoy seeing the display of other people’s talents. 🙂
I always love your hydrangeas; I thought I killed my only one, but it is slowly coming back. Yay! Totally forgot about Barb’s photo challenge, but we should do that, too!
Winner of the Prettiest Blog Post of the Week! I decided this is the most colorful happy entry I have read all week….so my unofficial award goes to you and your family. Love seeing all your garden goodness.
