I love my gardens this time of year!

We were so blessed yesterday not to have any storm damage.  Lots of trees down all over, 2 people killed and much damage. Our power came back on about 8:00 PM last night and we were so thankful.  They are saying some won't have it until Saturday.  We do  have a generator, so we were able to keep our freezers and water going. 

I love this time of year. The flowers are at their peak and such a joy to look at in the morning.  My Mom's favorite song was "In The Garden" and I so enjoy God's gorgeous creations as I take my morning stroll.  I hope you enjoy it too!

Simply gorgeous & definitely a blessed home, Joan. God smile's when He looks at your handiwork and says, "That's my good and faithful servant using her skills that I have given her."

Your flowers and pond are beautiful Joan. Horrible storm I agree, much damage in my area also. God Bless, only lost power for a short time and my trees only are missing a few branches.

I am relaxing right now in your garden and reading a book under the shade of the apple tree and the lemonade is so tasty. The fragrance from the Gorgeous blooms are so sweet. I see the fish floating in the pond and Whiskers is so trying to get after them, but he know that you or Jon will tell him no, but they are so tempting. Thanks for letting me relax for a bit in your beautiful garden.

Hugs and God Bless,
Gretchen
