Summer's Bounty

The front yard garden....less mow, more grow!
I plan to expand in order to keep up with my husband's love to give produce away.

Clematis

I decided to plant some zinnias and cosmos seeds
that were about 5 years old.
They are putting on quite a show!

Our neighbor shared peaches from his trees.
I had such a great time peeling them using a hot water bath.
Then I made a giant pie.

Our tax dollars at work!!!

We requested the city to take down this dead Elm tree that was at the corner of a very busy intersection.

It took two days for them to do the work.

They had to stop at 3 pm to make sure the school buses could get through.

Spring in the Garden

Snowdrops Pop Up

A sunny spot next to the chimney makes

Snow and Fur

The wind was whipping and his little tale was waving madly.

 Mr. Squirrel is preparing to jump on to the open feeder.

I would love to take more pictures of wildlife but you have to have a really nice camera or be real close to your subject.  I still struggle with the point and shoot camera.  Easy to carry around but you just can not take those special pictures and be guaranteed that it will focus on what you want it too.
