Early Morning Garden Tour


It was an early morning here. Thomas wet the bed and was up at 6:15. Yes Jenny, I know you are up at 5:30 every morning, but it's still tooooooo early. So anyway, we were all up and out wandering around the yard at 7:30. Usually I don't let the kids out that early because I don't know who in the neighborhood is still in bed and you really can't keep the boys quiet, but I needed to say good morning to my flowers.


Here is Asiatic lily "Tiny Ghost", one of my clearance finds from last year. Love it!


Rachel is standing next to my favorite daisies in the whole world. They are tall and sturdy!


Here is one up close. Maybe I'll try putting this at the top of my blog.

6:15? I remember some of those early mornings with the same problem. I haven't seen 6:15 since I continually rolled over in bed to hit the alarm clock SNOOZE! I enjoyed your flower shots.

Love the flowers! Lynn is so good at keeping the yard beautiful here - another perk to our basement bungalow! I too long for a snooze button!

Don't flowers just make your day?

We have geraniums,roses,petunias (in a hanging basket) and impatiens. I find even dead-heading the geraniums & roses theraputic.

A wild thing happened today. I woke up at 6:30 and said a little prayer to "please God, just give me until 7:00 before the boys wake up" Well, He gave me until 8:00! Two whole cups of HOT COFFEE!!

GOD IS GOOD!!

I love garden tours in the yard. It sometimes keep Jacob quiet. Your flowers are gorgeous. I can't believe you can remember the names of the all.

Jen said...

You are so good at flowers...I kill them...much as I try to coax them to live. I leave gardening of any sort up to Dean! :) Great job!

Kara said...

Jackie, I keep the tags from everything I buy and keep them in a little picture album. This is where I put my favorite flower pics, too. I like to look at it in the winter when I am longing for spring.

Jen M.- you think I'm good at flowers? You should stroll through Amanda's yard, that's where I got many of my plants that are thriving in my back yard.
