got this shot of the morning glories before leaving for the office…
not only can you see the bloom that opened this morning (purple) but yesterday’s one as well (pink)… even a few mandevilla blossoms are visible…
good thing because it has been raining since leaving the office…

had a very relaxing day…
slept in a bit… for me, lol… put out the cushions, watered the garden and had breakfast by the pond…
enjoyed all the flowers on the mandevilla and spent time with my book…
while I was reading, I looked up to see this…
the little bunny that I’ve spotted a number of times, but not been able to get a picture of… today it sat by the chair and enjoyed some greens while I took pictures…
when it got too hot to stay outside I came into the house and watched sports on tv and napped…
so sluggish that I ordered my groceries to be delivered tomorrow… really the height of laziness…

took a few moments this morning to stop and take a few photos of all the buds on the mandevilla…
there are dozens of them…
wondering how many will open up at once and looking forward to seeing what happens…
nature is so amazing…

the mandevilla is getting close to blooming although it always surprises me how long it takes to actually open…
the photos below start around June 24th and end tonight…
will be interesting to see just when it opens…

had some fun in the garden on Saturday… the forecast was for thunderstorms and rain during the day so I got out early to plant the purchases from the day before…
trying to stick to the purple and white theme although the dahlia might be a bit on the pink side;-)…
three pots planted, a few baskets hung, the tomato and mandevilla placed… also brought out the hibiscus…
still need to bring out the Japanese Maple, but going to wait just a bit longer so it doesn’t struggle with the move…
it is looking pretty good… now just waiting to get that back flowerbed cleaned up…
missing my beloved as I work away in the yard…

late in the fall my grandson brought in a few of the plants…
one was the mandevilla… it had grown long and through some of the bench on the deck so was very messy when it came into the house…
I ignored it until the other day… took the time to cut it back and feed it… looking forward to watching it over the next few months…
also trimmed and fed the hibiscus and Japanese maple…
I am sure they all appreciated the attention… we will see how they all do…
nice to have greenery in the house… makes it feel summery…

put a note in my calendar the other day so that I would remember to bring the Japanese Maple in from the garden…
doesn’t look like it was affected by the cold weather which makes me happy… will watch and see how stressed it will be from the move… it is a bit delicate and often drops all of the leaves when moved…
still have to bring in the hibiscus and mandevilla… maybe on Sunday…
right now the morning glories are wrapped all around the mandevilla, lol…

this morning as I was leaving for work I was looking for morning glories amongst the mandevilla…
not a single one, but took some nice pics of the mandevilla covered in raindrops…
it poured around five in the morning and that made for some pretty pictures…
sure am missing my camera;(…

so happy that the morning glories were saved…
while I was away my grandson came by a few times and watered them… they are in small planters so need lots of water…
I’d been waiting for them to flower for weeks and the first bloom only came out the day before I left on vacation…
they are blooming in and amongst the mandevilla which is also blooming like crazy…
flowers sure do make me happy…

not sure why, but I’ve been missing my beloved a great deal…
having flashbacks to walking into the hospital room the night he died…
this photo of some of the mandevilla blooms reminded me of how close we were…
