This and That

Miss M and I made ourselves some new flip-flops for the summer. Just enough bling for us!

One of my black urns, that I searched high and low for and found at Michael's of all places. The plants look a bit wilted due to the excessive sun and heat.

These are the same plantings, but in a regular pot on the porch. I hope to have pictures of the porch loaded later today!

Happy Memorial Day! I have such respect and gratitude to those in the armed services today and every day! God Bless America!


peace and blessings,
Lisa

Show and Tell Friday, June 5, 2009

I thought I would share some of the plants in my gardens and yard. I love our backyard during the spring and summer months because it becomes so private and intimate in the middle of our busy city neighborhood.

These are our hostas and my book fairy on the shaded side of the house. I love the contrast of the bright green and white against the dark brick of the house.

These are the flowers of the white bleeding heart plant in the bed by the garage. The rounded leaves are from the black eyed susans beside it.

There are actually two plants here. You can see the blooms on the chives, as well as the bright leaves of Lemon Balm in our herb garden.

Tarragon

I can't remember the name of this plant. Anyone? This is a cluster of three plants.

One of our first Stella D'Oro daylily plants to bloom.

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the plants in our garden. Be sure to visit

Kelli's House and view other wonderful show and tell posts!

Blessings,
