Morning Glorys

When I first moved here I tried quite a few times to grow Morning Glory's and they simply wouldn't grow. I planted them this year in the new garden with no expectations. But they surprised me. The thing is, I am usually asleep when they're open. But a few weeks ago I did catch a couple pale pink ones.

Night before last I had a nap so I stayed up until about 7:30.  I was really tired and about to go to bed when it occurred to me I should go have a peek.  I wasn't prepared for the sight that met my eyes.  I had a few more pink, some really deep purple...and HUGE blue ones.  It was like a fairy land in the early morning sunrise.  I had to snap a few pics just to share with you!

Aren't they amazing!  It certainly made my morning!

Blue Skies

Today I finally woke up to bright blue sun shiny skies!  It was so nice to not have rain for a change.  I could almost breathe again. 

I think it was a portent of things to come for the day.  Buster was back walking on all four paws again.  I got an actual harvest from my garden!  We had beans!!!  I can't stand green beans but R loves them, so he was happy.  I was just excited that I actually grew something that bore fruit...or veggies in this case.

I also have quite a few flowers ready to bloom, and my morning glories are blooming. I was too late in the day to get a pic though, they had closed up for the afternoon.

I walked Ridley, weeded the garden, played with the kitties...and R was being sneaky by peeking over the railing of the deck to see what I was doing. He thought I couldn't see him, but I could! Shhhh....don't tell him I posted his pic, he hates to be photographed! Especially sporting his weekend look.

The First Signs Of Life

Now I don't want to bore you with continuous updates of my garden because I know most of you are probably consummate gardeners. But for me...this being my first one I was pretty excited over it.

Especially this morning when I went out to water and discovered I had my first signs of life!

My radishes sprung up overnight!

My pumpkins, which were the last thing I planted are already coming up!

I planted Morning Glorys next to the fence!

I put my birdbath out. It used to be in the front.

R also put up the bench for me. Sadly the corner of it is cracked rather badly, and I bought it several months ago so it's too late to take it back. R assured me he can fix it though. He can fix anything!

It looks like my garden is actually going to grow! I was going to go out and weed, but both times I tried, it started raining on me so I gave up until tomorrow.

I still got a ton done this weekend, I tried on literally every single thing I owned because some of it is too big now, or is just outdated. I switched winter and summer clothes in my closet. (I have a lot of clothes!) I also sorted purses. I sent R off to Goodwill this morning with quite a few things. I need to sort the books next, and I am not looking forward to it. I think I have more books than I have clothes!

The good news is I made it through the whole weekend without any mouth dramas and upright on my feet!

Now I am off to work on an Americana rabbit, and watch a movie! I hope you all had a great weekend! Hugs, K. <3
