Good morning Friends ~ Boy, setting up our Etsy shop, has been time consuming, and we're still not done. Getting the banner the way we wanted it, and the header for the blog have taken hours. We've still pictures to take and upload, then list each item, etc. We've been working on shop policies, bio, etc. I'll be so glad when this is all set up, and we can resume our 'normal' (whatever that is) everyday living.
Yesterday I had to get out and do something after being indoors for three days. I did laundry, got it hung out, mowed, weed-wacked, and trimmed the front hedgerow. I was pooped when I got done. I took a short nap then worked more on tweaking the banner and the header and got frustrated and even shed a few tears. I do feel better this morning. Now I need to fold and put away clean laundry, wash the dishes, and get some beans cooking.
Here are some pictures taken the last couple of days. Click on pictures for closer views.
Below is looking into the secret garden. On the lattice to the left of doorway, is Confederate Jasmine. I look forward to this blooming every spring. The scent is heavenly. Close ups of the blooms in the photos after the one below.
The next three pictures are of hibiscus blooms.
These are Hyacinth Bean vine blooms.
This is Maggie.

This is a picture of the main garden which really made me fall in love with our place yesterday morning. The spiderwort blooms with all the attending bees were our in full force. I love these blooms.
The next three pictures are Texas Sage blooms.
These are blanket flowers.
This is Chrysler Imperial.
I sure wish you could smell this deep,
luxurious scent and see the velvety petals.
That's it for now.
I'm too frazzled to look up all the correct garden names for my blooms this morning,
so their old fashioned garden variety names will just have to do.
