Hi everyone! On Sunday Joe and I did ALOT of yard work, trimming things back, pulling things out, cleaning things up....you get the picture. It was overdue because of the HEAT and HUMIDITY we have been having. It was still too hot to be out there but we perseveered! I took some shots when we were done (IN)!!!! Hope you enjoy looking around the yard. This is the mandivilla, climbing the railing on the deck.
 The tall red flwer is Cardinal Flower. It is perennial so comes back each year, and the hummingbirds and butterflies LOVE it!!!!!! The smaller red flowers are impatiens.
 Close up of cardinal flower.  The hummers can get lots of nectar out of the petals!!

 I removed alot of the water hyacinths. They multiply and will TAKE OVER the pond.
 Tried to capture a shot of some of the fish.
 The sun was coming through the trees and dappled shadows were on the stones and flowers.

 The upper waterfall.

 Can you see the FULL wheel barrel in the background? We filled that up MANY times over!!!!


I pray that you all in Texas and other states that need it, get some RAIN soon!!!! We had DOWNPOURS today. It is either feast or famine around here, rain wise it seems! Have a great week everyone! You all are such good friends. I love all the frinds I have made blogging! Thanks so much for your wonderful encouragement and support!!!! XO, Pinky I am joining Kim for Wow Us Wednesday at http://www.savvysouthernstyle.blogspot.com/
