But, the day started nice and sunny, with everything newly washed.

My new little pig planter..a gift from our daughter's family...

was soaking up the sun, on the front porch.

The sun was lighting up the fenced yard.

I love the morning light, on the beds.

Making the dark spots glow a little.

Shining on the Rio...

and, making the fountain sparkle.

It shines across the porch...

making fun light and shadow.

Waking up the new Tree Aloe...another gift...from our son's family.

(Do my kids know me, or what?)

The Side yard is mostly in shadow...making the light in the 

Garden Grove glow....

What's that back there?

Another limb down.  Looks like it may have broken during the Big Storm, last week.

I guess the wind last night, brought it to the ground.

Glad I did the walk around. I might have seen this after the limb pick up, today.

It's always good to take a garden walk.

Hope your garden is glowing today.

Happy Gardening...

We've had an interesting winter, so far.

A few days warm, then a few days cold.

But, whatever the temperature, the winter light is wonderful....

especially the morning light.

This last Sunday was cold...a heavy frost.

But, the light sparkled.

Streaming across the fairway...

On the front side of the yard...

And streaming in the front windows.

It's a completely different angle, from the rest of the year.

I like it....

*****************

Speaking of things I like...

Tomorrow is this guy's birthday.

We've spent quite a few of these together.

And, it's been a pretty fun ride.

Happy Birthday, Mr. P....

Hoping for many more.

'Til next time...

Happy Gardening...

What it is ain't exactly clear...

Do you see it?


Mesh lights....


And, an extension cord...


And, a multi-plug stake...

All dragged out into the yard.  This is THREE TIMES THIS WEEK!!


They belong over there on the far left...peeking out from behind that tree.

Other areas are unplugged, too.

I blamed the deer.  I always blame the deer.

 Mr P thinks it's something else.

But, what?

It's getting a bit strange.  And, very annoying.

Ah...August in Texas.

That means HOT and HUMID....and, little to NO rain.

So, there is watering to be done.

Since I'm so smart (ha!), I have lots of containers.  That means watering every day.

Morning...before the Death Star of the sun gets too high...is the best time.

Sometimes though, you need to stop and LOOK at the new day.

LOOK at the way the light plays on the flowers.

LOOK at the way the light shines through the leaves.

LOOK at the way the light sets a pot of grass aglow.

LOOK at the way the light glistens on bubbling water.

LOOK at the way the light welcomes us into the new day.

This is the day the Lord has made,

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Have a Great Weekend...
