New things I saw this week during a Second Look:
- Nest activity on top of the old chickadee nest
- Five Wren eggs
- Sunflower bloom (almost)
- Gayfeather blooms
- New kinds and colors of day lilies
- Japanese beetles :(
- Hot and steamy weather and lots of thunder storms (This is actually old news.)
Oh, wow, live and learn! So much color! Now I need to check out my own yard and see f ours looks colorful. Our daylilies are finally blooming in the older patch, but not the new variety, yet. I think our lavender is done, and definitely no sunflowers here. If I had planted any, they wouldn't be in bloom until late August.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the beauty!
Every year, I plan to plant several kinds of sunflowers, but never quite carry that out. Luckily, the birds seed a few for me. I'm sure you will find more color than you think. That's what happens to me.
DeleteIf I get ambitious today, I'll pinch back my petunias. However, I'm not sure I'm likely to work up a bunch of energy to do that. Your flowers are pretty.
ReplyDeleteI was doing pretty well by doing something in the yard most days even if it were small--you know, the slow and steady wins the race thing. However, recently the heat has zapped me (and is giving me migraines), so I understand about working up the energy to do something outside. Good luck with the petunias.
