Two for Tuesday!

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!

8/18 Music Monday

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.

MM – 8/11

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.

Music Monday – 8/4

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.

Music Monday 7/28

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!

A Quickie Blog…

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.

Two…

Two pics for today’s “Two for Tuesday”.

The only thing the two things have in common is that they are both from the garden. First pic is a pic of some oriental lilies that are blooming. I have a couple of others blooming as well, but they were a bit in the shade when I was out earlier, so I opted to take a pic of something else.

Second pic is just of some of the peaches I am letting finish ripen on the counter. The wind knocked down quite a few the other day and some weren’t completely ripe. I have some bags of peaches in the freezer already and they will make some nice pies and cobblers this winter.

Music Monday – 7/21

(Sigh) Isn’t that the truth!

A bit of a different song than from what I usually post. I try not to post anything anyone will find offensive or take issue with. Religion can be a touchy subject for most people. This song is a song that one of my brothers turned me on to, it is one of his favorite songs. He likes this version in particular as it is sung by many artists.

I came across this song in my Youtube feed last night. It had been ages since I had heard this song. I liked this version for the gal’s voice and her delivery. Brownie points if you can remember the original singer or who else sang this song back in the day.
