so we were grocery shopping before 8am...
and then did the deli run just in time for an early lunch...
hot BBQ sandwiches were ate on the way back...
when my hands were finally free, I took a few photos on the way...
river hill...
the corn is coming up all over the place...
got things put up and headed out again...
the rain had stopped and the sun kept trying to pop out...
its not been out much, though...
one of the last columbine...
I always let mine go to seed...
the peonies are loving the little rain showers we get...
but the rain makes them so heavy, they droop terribly...
DH sawing the limb up in back...
thank goodness there's no butt crack showing...
she looks so muddy...
I think a good scrubbing and a new paint job is coming for her...
azalea are blooming now, too...
the fire pit is filling fast...
and that's just the small stuff in the south yard...
we do sit out here quite often...
sticks everywhere!
some are hidden and you have to look really hard to find them...
the lilies will be opening very soon...
progress...
just too wet to drive the truck back there today to load it up...
hauling the debris to the city dump...
and the logs will be stacked to dry to use next year in the fire pit...
looks funny...
kind of naked with the center gone...
my view from the deck when I am in my chair...
we raked and raked and had to rake some more...
DH can finally mow the south section...
its supposed to be nice and dry tomorrow...
I think I am going to grab Craig and a couple of paint cans and head back out...
DH is napping...
have a good weekend and I hope the storms missed you...
we could get rain today and tonight...
but then it should be done for a day or two...
happy weeding!
;)
Hi there, Loved seeing all your sights-your flowers are lovely. We have just had wind, wind and more wind-almost like it is April here. It's been cloudy and cool too; I'm ready for a little warmer weather so I will be motivated to get outside and garden.

Hope you are not in harms way! These blasted tornadoes are terrorizing Oklahoma and it makes me so sad! I always visit Beth at her blog because you two have the similar name! Two terrific ladies! You always share the best photos.
ReplyDeleteTete, thanks for letting us come along. I love looking around your yard, so many pretty things to see. Hope you have a good Sunday. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the worst storms missed you last night! I love good barbecue!

Tete- I love your pictures of your everyday life. You love the outdoors like I do and your gardens are wonderful. I can always just picture you sitting outside and enjoying your day/evening/night. What joy you find in the small every day pleasures.
ReplyDeleteIt is raining here today- hot and muggy. Tomorrow is to be a lot cooler- xo Diana
The roses and peonies are just beautiful! Sounds like you had a nice day. I did too. An ordinary day, but a nice day!
ReplyDeleteI loved spending this time with you today and esp. love your garden. Great post, thanks for sharing. Kathy
ReplyDeleteTete, I am glad that you got missed last night. I just wish the storms would go away and the rain would stop to give people a chance to clean up. I loved seeing the flowers they are so pretty. Have a wonderful Sunday and stay safe. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteHey Tete! Your garden and yard is looking so pretty! Gotta love those heavy headed/scented peonies! My fav! Looks like tomorrow will be much cooler and nicer for working outside. yay!
