These are just beautiful Jennifer!  Thanks for Sharing.  Have a Wonderful Sunday this Father's Day.

Wow! Thanks for the great reminder!

Jennifer,

Your photos are beautiful! I had a moment this a.m. just watching the birds in my back yard.

Jennifer,

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing and taking the time to post this. Yes you are right we are dealing with alot of issues right now and forget to appreciate the simple things in life. I always remind others, its about time I followed my own advice. Thanks so much for reminding me.

Jennifer, Beautiful photos!  Great Garden!

Howdy Jennifer

Taken time to look at and enjoy what Mother Earth has to show us.

That can bring joy in to our live. Every one just needs to learn and look.

Just beautiful! I will be sharing these photos with my wife. I wish you great success in Active Rain!

Jennifer, The pictures are gorgeous, I could almost smell those flowers (and wish I could get mine to come out that way :)!

Jennifer:  Your hosta stopped me in my tracks.  I want to plant some of those before the season is over.

Jennifer, those are beautiful.  Are they from around your houses?  Peonies are not something we see around the Houston area maybe it is too hot and humid.  What is that last flower?

Those are absolutely beautiful photos!  My peonies are just starting.

Jennifer, what beautiful pictures for a nice Sunday morning.  I am awed by your green thumb!  I can't even keep houseplants alive (I have been told that I am a chronic overwaterer).  I have even managed to murder cacti.  Thanks for sharing these with us!

Beautiful photographs Jennifer!  We went to a "lilyfarm" today that had over 200 hybrids! It was a lot of fun!

Jennifer, Your garden is truly lovely!!  What a joy to see that every day!!  Thank you for sharing and YES we do need to take a step back & enjoy the little, prescious things in life!

All the best,

Anne - I am glad you enjoyed the photos.

Lisa - My daughter loves Peonies and wanted to used them for her wedding last year.  I discouraged her because they are so delicate and comes apart so easily.  However I do enjoy the short time they are around.

Lola - Thank you, gardening is so relaxing.

BethAnn - We really need to take time out to enjoy the simple things in like.

Lyndia - I too enjoy watching the birds too.  Nature offers so much.

Michael - I hope you follow through and take time out to enjoy the beauty that surrounds you.

Tony & Darcy - I am glad you appreciated the shots. Thanks for stopping by

Jennifer all I can say is WOW those are beautiful pictures and you certainly have a gift for growing plants and flowers.

What a beautiful garden.  There is no way one could not have a good day when being close to such beauty.  Enjoy.

Jennifer: Your garden is just so beautiful! What are the yellow flowers....are they very tall or is that just the angle of the photo?  The peonies are amazing.

I enjoed the pictures. Thanks for the thought.

Jennifer - the flowers are lovely and your thoughts are appreciated.  You are right and most of us don't stop and just enjoy life until something happens reminds us how important it really is to do so.

Jennifer - My garden is bursting right now too...we have really had some good growing climate this spring in Dutchess County!  

Dale - There is much joy to be had in the beauty that surrounds us.

Charles - Knowing you enjoyed the photos makes me feel good I shared them.  I hope your wife will like them too.

Carole - Thank you.  Although I love gardening  the one thing I have to avoid is putting a flower to my nose.

Chris- I hope you get some in.  The Hosta is one of the plants that the deer loves.  If you look real closely you will notice fishing line in the photo.  One of my many attempts to keep them away.

Marchel - Yes the plants are from my garden.  The last plant I can't remember the name.  It is beautiful ground cover.

Beautiful flowers. Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the reminder .

Jennifer, lovely garden, lovely photographs.  You are one who obviously appreciates being able to stop and "smell the roses."

Jennifer, again, you post some of the most beautiful pictures and best topics... well done...

Hi Jennifer,

I love your flowers! back in NY we had a yardful of those hostas. I loved dividing them and making more!

  We can't grow them here, there is no shady spot for them in our yard.

The last photo is called dead nettle.or lamium something.. I have a nice spreading patch of it in my yard too.

Ginger
