Another miserable day here with the heat and humidity. Watering planters and the garden is the plan for the day.

For today’s Music Monday I decided to post a song from Alan Jackson given him being in the news lately and giving his last performance because of his health battles. It was hard to pick one song from his musical career. I felt this song fit the bill of the nostalgia one feels of growing up listening to someone and their music and how time marches on.

Just a few more pics of daylilies blooming today. I’ve also included a couple of pics of daylilies I didn’t get posted the other day. You can tell the ones that were taken earlier have the sunshine. I don’t think the sun peeked out once today. At least it was a cool day. When it dries up, I hope to get out to the other daylily garden that has some of the older varieties. Right now, it is just too muddy to wade out there…. (you know I might melt if I get wet!…evil cackle).

Coneflowers are coming into their prime….

Liatris starting to show more color….

With yesterday being Father’s Day, I thought I would look for a Dad themed song for today’s Music Monday. Lots of good stuff out there to choose from, but I chose this country hit by the Zac Brown Band from several years ago. It, like most songs about family can really hit “home”.

Have a good week Bloggers!

A few more pics…

I went out this past week and took a few pics, I have by no means gotten pics of all of the flowers, but hopefully I can get out later this week and grab some more. Most are mainly lilies, daylilies, and a couple of other things in bloom.

Morning Bloggers, another new week ahead, I am hoping for a good one and crossing my fingers I get a lot of stuff accomplished while the weather is nice for a day or two.

It’s been awhile since I last listened to this song, so when it came across my YouTube feed, I thought it would be a good choice for today. I try and choose songs any more that are a bit more upbeat to help get myself (and anybody who needs it) some motivation for the day ahead.

Morning Civatar, and welcome to a new week ahead, and a new Music Monday.

I came across this old classic and it just felt like the right fit to get one in the mood for this upcoming week. It promises to be a hot and humid one across much of the country and it’s songs like this one that I need to get me motivated to get started on a project, get myself moving, and just get out the door to face the day.

Morning Bloggers, here we are with the first Monday on the first day of the month of June. It promises to be a hot one here, much too early for that nonsense when I have so much to do outside. The heat isn’t as bad as the humidity that goes along with it. All of the wind I complained about earlier this spring has seemed to disappear and now we have been having calm and muggy days. Perfect for the mosquitos, not for me!

I chose this song just to get some pep into my step today. I need some motivation to get moving. I hope it motivates you too!

A lazy Sunday here, bit too wet to do much and after all it is Sunday so it’s been a day of rest. I did go out this afternoon and grabbed a few snaps. I didn’t grab any pics of the peonies and iris still blooming, they have been a bit damaged from all of the rain and are done with their big flush for the year.

Just a couple of hummer pics and a couple of blooms, along with pics of one of my planters which I have several planted up with the same plants around the patio, some moss rose which I haven’t grown in years, (but love the stuff and how hardy it is with the heat), a baby praying mantis on a spirea bush, and lastly a clematis.

I have also included two pics of work to do yet…. raspberries to plant yet and all of the hosta left over from dividing and replanting. The extras will go on the East side of the garage and are waiting until I get some siding replaced first so they don’t get trampled. A gardener’s work is never done!

Happy Gardening!

I chose this old classic for today’s Music Monday. A lot of good song choices out there for Memorial Day. It was hard to just pick one. Whatever you do today, whether picking a song, decorating a grave, or spending time with family, remember those who helped fight for that freedom to do so.

Have a safe Memorial Day!
