Somewhere in mid-March, I had become convinced that it would never get warm, the snow would never melt, the flowers would never bloom. Therefore, I have been somewhat reluctant to really complain about uncomfortable weather, and we have had a few humid days. But on those sunny, dry days, it's just incredible to have warm weather.
Roses in the yard.
Rose campion in the front yard
No idea but it's in the front of the house too.
I think this is a flying ant. Way too small to be a bee.
I found a birdbath I liked and also snagged that rainbow windspinner too. Back yard.
We were at Olson's Garden Center in Wareham and I spied this gazing ball and couldn't take my eyes off it. They actually have a beautiful selection of them; very unique ones and not your basic blue, green & silver. Russell asked if I wanted it and I eagerly nodded so he got it for me.
My triple spinning rainbow was really shredded and faded, so I replaced it. I like these colours a lot.
Deck's a little crazy at the mo.
Half of this tree was dead so I clipped off all the dead branches and now the tree looks really messed up and I had to move all the chimes and stuff. And since I took this pic, I had to lop off 3 more dead branches so the chimes had to get moved.
I have no idea what this is but I just love the colour!
The next 3 pics of flowers were taken outside the British Beer Company in Sandwich.
Aren't these fun? I got them at the Christmas Tree Shop in Sagamore. I might even frame the napkin.
My old pink flamingos were in the yard 365 days a year and had faded to light pink, so I got a new pair.
On Sunday, I went for a walk into town and saw this guy on a fire hydrant in our neighbourhood.
I love this purple clematis on a neighbour's mailbox.
Time is going by a little bit too fast though. I'm in no hurry for winter to be upon us again.
Love all the flowers. You live in such a nice part of the world JoJo.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes it's quite pretty here isn't it? Not as dramatic as the Pacific Northwest, which I miss so much. I think Washington will always be home, but it's better than I'm here now.
DeleteLove the pics! We have a Christmas Tree Shop up here in my neck of the woods too. I LOVE THE CHRISTMAS TREE SHOP... Thank the good Lord for summer...
ReplyDeleteThank you Lady Jane! Isn't 'The Tree' AWESOME?!?!?! So many great deals and cool things! That shop originated in this region; I remember when the first one opened in the 70s in Hyannis. It's really taken off now.
DeleteI feel so relaxed now. Thank your for the beauty and warmth (that doesn't go into the triple digits).
ReplyDeleteWe're a tad uncomfortable at the mo....the humidity landed on us like a sumo wrestler yesterday. That means big hair, sweating the second you go outside and feeling sticky no matter how still you stay.
DeleteThat gazing ball is really nice! I can see why you wanted it. Winter indeed does seem to last forever and summer, which may be the same length of time, goes so quickly. Sounds like you are soaking it up. Store all those lovely summer colors up in your mind for some great winter dreaming.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I usually leave my gazing balls up year round but I reeeeeally don't want this one to break so I'll stow it for the winter. I'm not too eager for winter to come at all. I'm even reluctant to complain about the warm/humid weather right now.
DeleteBeautiful collection of blooms. We are also going through sweaty days, even nights. Air-con is turned on to get some sleep.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy! It's not so bad if it's hot or warm and dry but the humidity makes everyone melt. I don't even want to go anywhere or do anything.
