I Can't Say No To A Good Lookin'......

...flower!

If you know me you know that my rare down time this time of year is probably spent in our flower garden.  Much of our yard is dedicated to flowers and shrubs of various kinds, and it's a never ending effort.  Not all our choices thrive, others thrive so well they encroach on another patch of flowers, so during the season we're getting in the work to keep our garden balanced.

This weekend was one of those weekends, relatively little real estate work other than the expected phone calls and emails ("You have an agent?  Then your agent needs to show that home to you."  "Any patio homes for lease?" "What's the latest news on Fischer's new patio homes?", etc.).

So it was time to replenish some sections of our garden.  We added a few more azaleas to a corner we hadn't developed yet (now over 50 total azaleas), a hibiscus, an orange coneflower, some plumbago and a new favorite of mine, blanket flowers!  We have two varieties, with 7 of the variety on the left in the picture above and just one of the right side.  I'll have to keep my eye out for some more of the apricot variety, but the selection was scant at the nursery and I didn't like the condition of the other two offered!

I'm hoping these thrive and spread. The colors are brilliant and tie in well with our blackeyed susans in the same area of the garden.

I could tie all this in to real estate pretty easily, but I'll skip the analogy today.  What I will say is find something you enjoy and take the time to do it!  And if what you do puts the beauty of some of God's handiwork right in front of you every day, all the better!

It has its moments :)  What's blooming varies so sometimes its more green than blooming, and of course during the winter you'd hardly know there was anything sleeping under the dirt.

BLiz- they're beautiful but how are the bees????  I'm glad you had time to spend in your garden!

The main hive is doing quite well.  The 2nd hive seems to have mostly left for a new home without leaving a forwarding address.  There's enough left to start another colony, but they probably need another queen soon to get them jumpstarted in time for winter.

I thoroughly enjoy your beautiful flower posts here and on FB.  Working in the dirt is just so grounding and inspiring.

And this time of year, sweaty :)  It's good exercise digging the holes and clearing the brush to expand the beds.

That title line certainly draws them in, Liz and Bill.  But, those pretty flowers didn't disappoint!

Every now and then I can get the title that draws in the eyes, but I've got to support it with the writing :)

Several saturated t-shirts this weekend :)  Not terribly hot, but humid enough!

I've already got another week's worth taken, so pushing towards 50 days in a row.  And there are flowers that have yet to bloom.  Saw one of our asters popped open over the weekend, also found a cool moth and some fungus/mushroom that looks like sea coral.

Hi Bill - Nice flowers! We're just getting started planning our new gardens for their first fall plantings. At least this time around, we have a good idea of what will thrive - and what will thrive a little too well.

We can only hope that whoever buys our home in the future LOVES to garden!
