A bit of an update or a follow up to my “Two for Tuesday” blog where I went out today to recapture pics of the sedum and the turtleshead (chelone).

While I was out there, I snapped a couple of other pics. Most of the flowers are almost done for except for the hydrangeas which I have posted a pic earlier, and the annual flowers I had planted this year. It is a bit of a lull until the fall bloomers come into their full glory. But a few are popping out already…

So many hostas have already bloomed, and other than the bees and the hummingbirds loving them, their foliage is their main attraction.

The veronica is on it’s last leg of blooms, but it hasn’t stopped the flutterbyes.

A new annual for me this year, love the color, but I think the plant needed more sunlight or a longer growing season. It got dwarfed in my planters among the other flowers but was supposed to grow taller.

Have a good weekend bloggers. I keep looking at the bulb catalogs but I think that time is getting away from me so I will forgo putting in any fall orders…. Oh well, there is always next year, said every gardener at one time or another!

I thought today’s song was a good choice for it being Labor Day this Monday. Lot’s of good tunes about work but this is the first one that popped into my head. Have a favorite tune? It doesn’t have to be about work, it can be anything. Feel free to post it for today’s Music Monday.

Have a good week ahead!

For today’s Music Monday, I chose another old classic to get you in the mood. It’s been ages since I listened to this song as well but once you listen to it, it will stick in your head all day. (You can thank me later!).

I didn’t forget about it being Two for Tuesday, just a bit late logging back on this late afternoon/evening to get it posted. Take today a couple of blooms of something different…

One of my favorite smaller creeping sedums loaded in buds ready to break forth in bloom soon. I will try and get a better picture when it’s in full bloom later this month or next.

Chelone, also known as Turtle’s head. Also, another later blooming plant just getting started so I will try and capture another picture later on.

And for a bonus pic…. a blue hydrangea. I do love any kind of hydrangea, big or small.

Have a good evening bloggers!

It’s the start of another new week and of course that means it is Music Monday! I chose today’s classic song to help you get in the mood, lift your spirits, and to put a skip in your step. It’s another oldie but goodie that deserves to be played again and again.

Not to brag, but in my pic for “Two for Tuesday”, I have two kinds of pink flowers, two zinnia flowers, and two flutterbyes on those two zinnias… Don’t ask me to do the math, figure it out on your own! 🤣☺🌺🌻

Hard to believe we are already so far into August. Schools are getting ready to gear up, county fairs are popping up all over, and days seem to be getting a bit shorter or at least a bit more manageable with the heat.

I came across this old classic and it is one that gets your toes tapping, and you humming or singing along before you know it. Have a favorite tune? Feel free to post it for today’s Music Monday.

Have a good week bloggers!

Okay maybe I should tame the hair a bit and change the pj’s if I go out to do some yard work. Can’t have the neighbors staring too much! (wink)

Today’s selection for Music Monday is an oldie. Been a while since I had heard this song and it does bring back a lot of memories and nostalgia. Hopefully I haven’t posted it before, but if I have, who cares, it deserves another listen. You just can’t beat a lot of those old classics.

Morning bloggers, it’s the last Monday of the month. I am glad to see July almost over, but I hate the thought of fall and winter being just around the corner.

I came across this video on YouTube of a very young Brenda Lee. According to the video she is just EIGHT years old! Wow, such a stage presence for such a youngster. At that age, the last thing I wanted to be was the center of attention or to perform anything for anyone. Check out her ease of singing and performing in the video, just amazing to think about!

I hate to post just a pic or two and call it a blog. I don’t really consider that a blog or at least a blog of any substance, but I’m afraid today’s blog is just a couple of pics of some “winged” visitors that visited and just a couple of daylilies that caught my eye. Several others are still blooming but I have posted them in previous blogs and hate to repeat myself too much.

And lastly one more pic of some of the garden phlox before I rip it out along with all of the asters which have caught the dreaded “yellow asters”, which is a disease that is caused by a leafhopper insect. Just sick over all the flowers that I will be removing over the next couple of days because of it. I’m sure all of the rain and humidity we have had, has also contributed to its spread. Wouldn’t you know it, I had just planted three other kinds of asters last year and now it all goes. Bummer.
