Just when you think all the flowers are gone more spring into view. This morning my walk around the dome and time in the swing with Brandy brought more color to admire.
This rose bush was one of the the miniature plants I received as a gift. The size of the blossom and two buds would indicate it loves being outside.
This Honeysuckle was here when I moved in. I change the support for it but it looks like something larger is called for.
Sitting in the swing I spotted some clover blossoms and memories of childhood came flooding back. Lazy summers, laying in the field, and sucking the sugar out of those purple blossoms.
I so long to pull one today but I’m sure it couldn’t taste as sweet as my mind recalls.
I believe this is one of the Snapdragons Cindy gave me to plant but the garden is such a tangled mess that I can’t be sure.
Now on to the unknowns
Please feel free to educate me on these and I’ll try to remember them.
My last picture was of an unknown on the leg of the swing.
My first thought was a mutated bee. Next thought was kill it. But I opted to take a picture instead. Anybody know what my creature is? I’ve never seen one of these before.
Well I must close for now because an appointment with Dr. Imami at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit is scheduled for around 1:00 pm today. I’ll let you know how Jay’s eye is coming later.
Also if you get a chance Cindy of Cindyisms is having problems with her knee. She is home today and could probably use a couple of words of comfort.
Remember to smile!
Lovely flowers! especially the rose. I love roses!
the bug looks like a cicada to me, and this would be around the time they begin coming out from their holes in the ground
here on the prairie, 4th of July picnics are serenaded by the cicadas
killing one is difficult, for they are hardy critters
one of the boys hit one with a hammer and it Still wobbled around awhile until he hit it again
We tried to raise our kids as peacemakers, but with insects, all rules are broken, which is why the ant poison is getting spread this evening.
Just tried to look up your ‘bug’…I’d guess it’s a type of bee (note yellow, rather fuzzy apearing thorax and fuzzy back legs), although I couldn’t categorize it via photos on the ‘net).
Flowers are very pretty; right now the only blooming things here are lillies (white with rose colored petal edges).
I’ll drop Cin a ‘cheer you up’ email.
Hugs;
Pammie
great pics…love nature pics.
hope all is well with Jay!
Will keep Jay in my thoughts and prayers and hope that he gets a good eye report.
A walk in your yard with all its natural beauty must be awesome. Bob googled cicada and it doesn’t quite look right, but then there are probably many varieties.
