This weeks Theme is Colorful

DSC01914 copy 2

I haven’t planted any marigolds yet, but I have purchased some. They’re sitting in their little seedling containers just waiting for me to plant them. This marigold is my neighbors.

On mother’s day her family actually did some work in the yard and they planted some flowers for her. A few days later I was out taking photos of my flowers and she insisted that I take pictures of her flowers too. Funny thing is that once I started she wanted me to stop because she decided she didn’t want me to waste my film. Try explaining to a lady that’s almost 90 what a digital camera is!

I truly must be on some kind of orange kick. I have flowers of many colors but I keep wanting to post flowers with orange in them. Even this new theme that I picked out and modified for As the Garden Grows has a lot of orange in it.

Orange is not my favorite color, but for some reason I seem to be very attracted to it in the last while. Odd. I haven’t purchased all my annuals for the garden beds yet … I wonder how many of them will have shades of orange this year?

Hyacinth buds

DSC01754 copy

On Friday, after the scent of blooming hyacinths drew me out of the house I went outside with my camera. There were so many different spring flowers blooming!

I don’t know how many photos I ended up taking but it had to have been at least 50 pictures. I’m so thankful that I have a digital camera as it gives me the ability to take as many photos as I like and discard any that don’t turn out well.

I found this small hyacinth just getting ready to go into bloom. I love how the red tinged mauve buds contrast with the bright green leaves.

This hyacinth does look a little sparse. I’ll have to check on it later today and see if more buds came out. It might be that it’s a new bulb, or one that’s beginning to lose it’s strength. Hyacinth bulbs don’t always have the longest lifespan.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

Funny animal videos and pictures

by Tricia

If you read this site, or any of the other sites that my husband and I write then you probably already know how much we both enjoy funny pet pictures, and funny animal videos. Well, I must tell you, I was very happy when I visited PetHumor.com just now.

The site is full of funny animal videos and pictures, pet jokes and it even has a funny top 10 list of pet cartoons. The site is updated daily with new items sent in by pet owners and pet lovers.

You can probably guess that I’ve already bookmarked the site, and I’ve also subscribed to their RSS feed so that I can know each day when the sites been updated with new humorous material.

If you enjoy funny animal pictures and videos be sure to visit PetHumor.com.
