The march of the daylilies continues…
Fluffy clouds…
The moon! It was feeling shy. This picture is quite enhanced.

Look who it is! The Tax

My lunch (as seen on this
post).
The moon!

Daylilies…
I got a haircut (about 2 ½ inches).

Dr. M grilled chicken for
dinner.
Which was heroic because it felt
like this out there! (This temp gauge is in the full sun at that time of day,
so it’s not an actual accurate reading – it was “only” 92 degrees – ha!).
The moon!

Pinky the Pet Geranium is really
strutting her stuff these days.

volunteer sunflower?
The moon!

Our hanging basket is winding down but is still beautiful.
The miniature rosebush is having its second spurt of blooms –
lovely!

My two breakfasts – the grits & eggs (and bonus
raisins!) was at 8:00 & the fruit was at 10:30.
Squirrel! They’ve mostly been keeping out of sight this
summer, but we’ve seen more of them this week.
Dr. M had a little visitor while he was sitting outside a
few minutes ago – LOVE her!
Go to Mamma Fran’s blog here
to see the blogs of all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. He also takes pictures with our old reliable 7
megapixel Canon Powershot A710. The Bug uses our new Nikon Coolpix S6200 most of the
time. If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just
ask!
Wow - your hair is really long! If someone cut off 2 1/2 inches off my hair, I'd be bald.
ReplyDeleteYou guys in Ohio were warmer than Floridians on Wednesday!
I've never had hair this long before - it's an interesting experience.
DeleteSomething isn't right when Ohio is hotter than Florida!
Pinky is looking voluptuous. Lots of beauty there.
ReplyDeleteVoluptuous - THAT'S the word I was looking for!
DeleteI have tried to like grits, I really have. I think I just don't know how to make them.
ReplyDeleteI admire your garden and wish that I had a green thumb so I could grow all that too, but, who am I kidding, I would probably forget about it!
I think you have to grow up with grits to appreciate them. And I would tell you to just try to Quaker instant, but really I just tolerate them for convenience. Mike makes really good grits, but I've never really mastered it. (And he's the green thumb - ha!)
DeleteA bikini? I thought the Tax Time Pig was a dude.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I'm not sure that even the TTP knows what he/she is!
DeleteLove the Pigkini, and the bird with its head in the flower is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Come back Wednesday for more hummingbird pictures :)
DeleteWow, the hummingbird shot is terrific! I love these weekly series -- they really give me a feel for what the seasons are like in your neck of the woods. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to see what it's like in other people's back yards (literally!).
DeleteYou know what Tax Time Pig needs? Some lipstick. ;)
ReplyDeleteS
LOLOLOL - ha!
Delete...our day lilies are just about to unfold their sweet petals...love them!!! thankyou for the preview Dana!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteYour garden looks so beautiful!!! and oh my word, that hummingbird shot is amazing!! So, am I going to get to see you at the end of the summer?!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan - I'm very excited! Guess I'd better nail down the details...
DeleteThe problem with this weekly slot is that every week your flower, squirrell and moon shots are so awe inspiring that i keep saying the same thing week after week
ReplyDeleteso for a change this week:
Yay Tax Time Pig!!
And - from a Farenheit/Celcius converter thing - i think we had it about 5 degrees hotter than you last week
Ugh - that IS hot!
DeleteI was so proud to finally take another picture of the pig for you - ha! And I think I'll take another one this week.
Amazing pictures my friend. My daylilies have been blooming for what seems like forever and I have a purple hydrangea that has really shown out too. It sits beside and blue one and it really makes the blue one look weak. Loved the salad shot. Looks yummy and your hair is cute with the new cut. Have a great week. Tell Dr. M to keep on shooting! I love everything you guys take and so look forward to seeing them.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
