Here we are half way through the month of May already. Time sure seems to zip by the older I get.
Hope you all have had a great week. Between working 4 days and taking care of home, I've been learning Windows 7, using new keyboard, and a card reader for my camera.
This morning I got outside for awhile working under cloudy skies in my main garden. Weeding, trimming, raking and sweeping. Thunder started moving closer and closer so I stopped for the day. We then had a little rain. We had a little last night too. Really nice for us, although we really need a good soaking. More rain is expected today and tomorrow, so we'll see what happens then.
Here are some pictures of what is blooming down here now. Blogger seems to be having more problems so I hope this all works.
The first three pics are of blooms from the 'Incense' passion vine. The scent is sweetly exotic.
This one is starting to open.
Datura bloom, what a nice scent.
Here is a poor raggedy Gulf Fritillary butterfly sipping nectar from Golden Dewdrop (Duranta erecta) blooms.
The next few pictures are of the blooms from the Dwarf White Orchid tree, Bauhinia acuminata.
Last and certainly not least, Penelope rose blooms. Aaahhhh.

With frail blue wings.
The happy earth looks at the sky
And sings."
