It's Almost Summer

It's almost summer...officially, according to the calendar, summer begins June 21st but around here summer is in full swing.  Baby robins are everywhere, pots are overflowing with blossoms, roses are in full bloom and bountiful this year, hydrangeas are budding, Lady Bugs are making an appearance.  







A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.  ~James Dent

Until next time.....

  5. Fantastic photos. Love the roses, they're beautiful. Summer has definitely arrived here in Florida. It's hot, muggy and very uncomfortable outside.

  9. Summer is having a hard time finding it's way here. The days have been so cloudy and cool. My peonies have started to bloom though the last couple of days

  10. Oh, no...that would be a horror story to us....need that lawn mower so the mosquitos won't be breeding in that tall grass....and snakes won't be hiding in it! Lovely pictures, as always....don't you ever take a BAD photograph? :)
