Around my yard...


Hi Friends!


Welcome back!  I've been working on some projects that I'll be posting soon.  But, in the meantime, I'd like to share with you a few photos of flowers, etc.  My hostas and geraniums are growing very well with all the rain we've had this summer. 


 
Black Eyed Susans are beautiful!
 
Dahlias

 
We had a heavy dew one morning and noted these awesome spider webs!  
 



We even have our own privacy fence in our back yard with the very tall corn!  My DH loves the natural privacy fence, but I don't really care for it...lol!  The corn this year is so delicious!  We had some last night for dinner....yum!  Here is a photo of my DH and our dog, Shadow...

 
OK, that's all for now.  Take good care and I'll be back here soon, hugs!

  1. Beautiful flowers, Maria. The rain just beat all the blooms off my geraniums. Ugh!
    Gosh, I thought those zinnias were dahlias. I just can't grow zinnias and I love them so much. The weather here is sooooooo humid and they stay covered in powdery mildew. I just can't fight it.

    What a corn crop. Good eatin'.
    Great photos of flowers, garden, hubby, and dog. Thanks for sharing.

  3. Lucky you, growing your own corn! I will bet it tastes so good. Love seeing your flowers. I believe the white and cherry colored ones are dahlias. They are gorgeous! And the spider webs are breathtaking. Nature is amazing, isn't it? With the dew drops on there, they look like they're covered in jewels. Thank you for sharing these pics!

  5. Your yard is filled with such beautiful flowers! And I love the natural privacy fence. How cool you can grow sweet corn like that. The deer eat everything around here, so there's no sense in trying. :)

    Hugs!

  19. So many great pics of your beautiful yard, Maria! I so wish I could get geraniums to grow here. They're one of my favorites! We get bud worms every year I try :(, and I spray them until I'm blue in the face, but they just keep coming back. I've never had much luck with corn, either. My soil must not have the right nutrients.

  20. It's winter in SA at the moment, but your lovely flowers have put me in the mood for spring and summer, Maria!! My dh is a keen gardener and there is nothing better than enjoying something to eat form your own garden - I can just imagine how nice the corn must have been!
