Oh Happy Days !!!



The bees are back !!
So are the dragonflies and my favorite birds the Ruby-throated Hummers....
OH HAPPY DAYS !!!





Stained Glassworks Kiwi Fern or Solenostemon. Gotta love that color...wild !





Unknown Rose from hubby. My favorite cut long stem roses are yellow or peach.





This is a stand I built for extra plants...no extras this year.
The potted sedum is from a piece of one I dug up last year...it hasn't moved since.
I think it likes it there.





Now getting the sun and heat for hibiscus to be happy.





Obsession Apricot Verbena...pretty sure ?





There's a pair of these Chickadees making a nest somewhere.



Lost 2 more perennials and 3 annuals to "Cute".
But still Happy Days !!!

Also hubby's birthday today ! Turning the BIG 60. You'd never know it...
he's the most handsome and youngest looking 60 year old I've ever seen.
Think it's LOVE ?
:)

  1. Love the stained glass! Isn't it amazing how fast those sedum grow? Nothing could be easier to grow or propagate. Great photos of the bee on monarda and the little chickadee;)

  9. Marnie,
    Know what else is easy to propagate ?
    Red Dragon-Persicaria microcephala...just stick in the dirt. I'll let you know when I post about it.

    Cheryl,
    Did I mention the SUN ?
    Lifts your spirits !
    ~~
    Shirl,
    Yes, Beebalm.
    I'm guessing what " jivin' or jiggin' " means...think we did both. :)
    ~~
    Shady,
    Glad you're enjoying my posts.
    Nice to hear that we're not the only youngsters.
    ~~
    Lynn,
    Still waiting for a pic of the hummers.
    Nice quite dinner at Wolfgang Pucks.
    We're not big on parties.
    ~~
    Joy,
    You're right about the sun. Gotta remember we had 2 months of rain and gray skies.
    Shame the fern is a annual.
    ~~
    Tatyana,
    Thanks for the birthday wishes...he's happy.
    Seems like most garden bloggers post almost every day. So even if I visit once or twice a week I know I'm missing alot of good posts. :(

  17. Hi Patsi, happy birthday to hubby! My husband is the same age, well a year older, and still looks young and dashing to these eyes too. Isn't it wonderful how our vision works as we age? Your photos are spectacular, love the monarda. Those colors are my faves for roses too. :-)
