May Happenings

 Here are just a few of May happenings.

Yes Mrs. Hummer has returned.  She and her friends are keeping me quite busy with  the making of sweet nectar.

That sliver of orange is a our Baltimore Oriole.  He likes to visit not only his feeder but the Hummers as well.

The bunny cart got filled this weekend with some favorite annuals.  She had been looking kind of lonely but now she has some company.

Snap Dragons and violas don't mind if a night turns chilly.  In fact they seem to prefer cooler weather.

Skies at dusk this time of the year are delightful.  I never tire of "looking up".

Speaking of looking up, one could not miss this full moon.   

Well these are just a few of May happenings at Harmony Hills.

I will be stopping by to visit each of you and find out what might be happening in your part of the world.

P.S. Will not be here next week because we will be involved in a special event...our nephew is getting married.   God willing - will return in two weeks.    Have a lovely end of the month.

"The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down."  Psalm 104:19 (NIV) 

 

Blush

 October is beginning to blush.

There are little passages of color here and there.

Some wonderful contrasts are making a statement.

Not all of the flowers are gone.  The Malva often waits until fall to share her lovely blossoms.

Sweet Violas continue to bloom abundantly.  They seem to enjoy the cooler season.

Even these two brave dandelions are not quite ready to say goodbye.

Naturally the Asters and Goldenrod are celebrating the start of October's blush.

Hope all of you have a delightful week.   Keep safe and keep "Looking Up".

Hugs

"That fading flower, his glorious beauty set on the head of a fertile valley, will be like a fig ripe before harvest - as soon as someone sees it and takes it in his hand, he swallows it."  Isaiah 28:4

Pleasant

The weather has finally turned pleasant.

The trees seem to have leafed out overnight.

The azalea is showing off a bright color -

 so are these New Guinea Impatiens.

This lovely tulip is one of the last  to bloom in May.

Mr. Bunny seems happy to return to his favorite spot  with the violas.

The Hummingbirds know the weather has turned pleasant also...they are back.

Well that is all for now friends...think I'll just take a rest and enjoy the warmer weather.

May you have a pleasant week. 

Hugs

"Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant."  Psalm 135:3

Peaceful Place

This past week I got to spend some time in my peaceful place...the studio.

Seems like this time of the year one begins to long for spring and the special little treasures that the new season will bring.  It is always nice to pull out some old photos and be reminded that soon the weather will warm and the flowers will start to bloom.

Pansies and Violas are such favorites that it is hard to resist not wanting to paint them.

As I have shared before I always plant a few in memory of my dear grandma.   It just wouldn't be spring at Harmony Hills if there were not some of these special ones growing near by.

Speaking about a Peaceful Place I hope that if you have never visited Linda at Linda's Peaceful Place you will take a few minutes and stop over for a few delightful minutes.   She has the most wonderful videos and uplifting quotes.   You will certainly have a wonderful time.   I know I always do.

Hope sweet friends you have a blessed
week.

Hugs Debbie

Old Friends

The other day I found some old friends in the shed.

They had been waiting patiently for me.












Quite some time had passed since we were last together.
 After catching up a bit - it was time to get busy.

First we planted some lettuce, radishes, and beets here.

Then we moved on to place these violas in their new home.  I think Bunny was happy for some company.   He had been rather lonely.









Mrs. Hummingbird stopped by to over see the process.   She chatted a bit and then moved on.

Later another sweet visitor stopped to say hello.  This one thought we were doing a fine job.

.

Scooter was not quite as happy.   He thought a bit more work needed done.  His path seemed a bit too weedy.







Unfortunately the rain moved in and we didn't get finished.  I am sure though that tomorrow my old friends will be more than happy to join me.

So glad that you took time to stop by..
Hope you find some old friends waiting for you too.   Have a great evening.

They Found a Home...

The Violas and Bunny found a home.   It was a bit of a project.  After giving it some consideration thought that the corner by the shed would be the perfect spot.  (I am always digging up flower beds).

The Project

Almost Ready For Planting

The Troups Showed Up To Help

The Fun Part


Oops someone is missing!

Home At Last

Hope You enjoyed the end of this Tale.

God Bless!

How could I Resist...

 How could I resist?   They were there on the shelf calling my name.

I wish I was not so weak.  These violas are one of my favorites.   I seem to have so many when it comes to posies.

I do not have a clue where I will plant them.  It will be fun deciding.   

 Tomorrow should be a great day for gardening.    We had a nice rain this evening and the forecast is looking good for the weekend.

Please  Stop Back Soon - God Bless!

(P.S.) Update on last post - my sweet little hummingbird was at the feeder this morning.  What Joy!
