happy hump day!

one of our doves...

kind of looks like a church now...

this is what I worked on last night...
getting it ready to move things in...

the perfect rose...

lavender is starting to color...

just look at those beans!

they are growing by leaps and bounds...

tomatoes aren't doing too bad...

we made a pot of green beans, potatoes and bacon today...
and a pot of northern beans with corn bread...

the bean field at the end of the street...

the trees and undergrowth have filled in...

love this shot...

the peonies are trying hard to open...

they are getting there...

almost...

asian lilies will be opening next week...

it was a sunny day today...
and warm...

above 80...

but we have lots of rain on its way...

and we really don't need as much as they are calling for...

my rabbit found his spot today...

pretty...

this was in a 4 inch pot a few years ago...

and supper...
I couldn't decide which one to do...
so I did a little of both...

got a little weeding done tonight after supper...
and a walk in...
spent some time with the neighbors...
and I think I am going to do some time on the deck tonight...
if the gnats will leave me alone!
have a peaceful evening...
;)

That is a ring necked
Dove, aren't they pretty?
Or at least it looks like the ones
that come to my feeders.
Everything looks so fresh and pretty.
