One of the good things about our “safer at home” staycation is having a lovely yard to spend time in. Thanks to the already summer-like weather, the flowers in our yard are especially beautiful this year.
To celebrate the first day of Summer, we thought we’d invite you to take a stroll around our yard. These are just a few of the flowers that are showing off.
Stargazer Lilly
The Stargazers are in bloom.
Knockout Rosebush
The Knockout Rosebush is … a Knockout!
Painted Petunias
These Petunia blossoms are the size of a quarter.
Climbing Rosebush
We call this the “Grandma” Rosebush because Steve’s Grandmother grew these.
Clematis
The Clematis will continue climbing through the Summer.
Sweet Daisies
These Sweet Daisies come back every year with no coaxing.
Bee snacking at the White Rose
Oh, and let us tell you ’bout the birds and the bees …
The sun peeks through our big Pine tree’s branches
… and the flowers and the trees.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this stroll through our back yard.
Welcome Summer!

Thank you for your colorful tour. My sister’s flower garden is also doing extremely well. I just talked to Joan. She is in a nursing home that is good to be in and good to her. She sounds like Joan Good to hear from him ‘her….thank you!

Absolutely breathtaking! Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of my mom‘s garden. I sure miss her and her green thumb!
Steve & Johnnie, thank you for showing off your beautiful flowers and pine tree. I have three, and they are giving me so many pine cones now.
Your garden is lovely.
Thanks for sharing. A very colorful yard with nice varieties. And catching a bee pollinating a flower. You know that would catch my attention knowing that I am a beekeeper, gardener and fruit grower (and pie baker). And good photography too Enjoy the beauty of summer.
I enjoyed seeing your Beautiful Garden. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous garden! Thanks for sending. And the photography is incredible! Excellent art in garden and photographs!
