I feel like I’m showing yall the same old things over and over again. But looking back through my posts, I have tried to have some variety in the things I share. I guess because I’m taking multiple pictures of the same flowers in my yard, I think I’m being repetitive. I just don't want … Continue reading Six On Saturday: November Blooms
Please indulge another deviation from the usual Six on Saturday fare, but today, I’m sharing a peek into my community. We moved out here in 1985 when the area was much less civilized than it is today. Then, there were fewer houses and subdivisions. There was little commercial development. There were no streetlights to cloud … Continue reading Six on Saturday: The Redbud’s Lament
I’ve made you traipse around other flower spots with me for the past couple of weeks, so today, we’re stepping out my back door.

It may as well have been summer, given the warmth and relentless sunshine, but we enjoyed … Continue reading Six on Saturday: Another Visit to Bellingrath
Ah, September! Finally, there’s a hint of Fall in the air. Not much, mind you, but enough to breathe a sigh of relief from the relentless heat and humidity of the long summer. The garden is transitioning too. The top photo shows my flaming firespikes, glowing red and attracting hummingbirds to the area. On cue, … Continue reading Six on Saturday: September 10, 2022
The garden is mostly green this time of year, but I’ve pulled together six shots of color to share today. From top left, going clockwise: Encore azalea Autumn Amythest 2. White zinnias at night (with a little orange peeping around the edge) 3. Purple torenia over Lemon Crème coneflowers 4. The hot colors of gaillardia … Continue reading Six on Saturday: Mid-August Quick Six
