I just want to say thank you

...to the world's most insane seven foot tall tomato plant for finally giving me five nearly ripe tiny tomatoes.

A quick walk through my garden

After a too short weekend and a too busy Monday, I couldn't wait to get out in my garden. I love this angel's trumpet tree, aren't those upside down blossoms just incredible? Yes!

And, check out this plant. Thomas' granny got it for me on her visit to our home last summer. These orange furry dots are only the start of a wild bloom. I can't wait to show it to you in a week or two.

I hope this little tour brightened up your Monday like it did mine.

Magnificent Magnolia

This beautiful tree is in my neighbor's yard and grows over the fence just outside my bedroom window. As I wake with bleary eyes I check to see if it's dark or light and these giant blossoms always make my tired eyes happy. The morning songbirds fly in and out between her leaves and no matter what the weather the magnolias brighten any gloomy morning.

Wow!

That's what I think every time I walk out my backdoor and see this plant. I am always amazed that plants like this really do grow in my garden and not only do they grow, they thrive.

Hello friend

I thought this hydrangea branch had a bad bump and then that bump turned out to be this little grasshopper basking in the sun.
