It’s Still Hot

Here in the Northeast we are still stuck in a heat wave.

Thermometer showing 100 degrees F.

As predicted, DG is suffering in his Santa hat.

So… I put a fan in it.

Bee

While we are talking about the wildlife in our yard, I thought I would post a photo of one of the many bees that we have.

A bee on a flower.

Can’t see the bee? Here’s a closser look.

Closer look at the bee.
DG smirking saying "So now you're blogging about the birds and the bees?

Um. No. Shame on you. This is a family friendly blog.

I Toad You I’m Upgrading the Content

I saw that the birds were avoiding landing on the birdbath, so I assumed it was empty and took out a pitcher of water.

Here is what I found.

Toad lounging in the birdbath.

Yup. A toad had decided to lounge in the water. Here is a closer view.

That’s a gnarly toad. Whaddaya think of that?

DG frowning, saying "You toad me to stop making lousy puns"

Temperatures Rising

Check out the temperature today.

Yikes! And it’s only early June.

I wonder how DG is making out in that Santa Hat.

DG sweating and saying "I'm great. Doin' great. I love this hat."

Unique Flowers

As well as plants that sport many flowers we have plants that have rare and unique flowers. For example, here are some pure white Iris flowers.

Even More Flowers

We have lots more flowers to show. Here are some more Rhododendrons.

Some of our plants have hundreds of flowers.

But these are really tiny flowers.

Spring is very colorful around here.

Flowers!

So, DG wants to go back to flowers. Here’s a few flowers.

That’s the bush that the robins built their nest in.

Here’s the other side of the same bush.

Not enough flowers? How about some Rhododendrons?

Back to Frowns

Since “we” have decided to go back to frowns, let’s see what we can do with this.

Here’s a basic skeptical frown.

A full-on, just plain frown.

Outrage.

DG with wide-eyed outrage.

Just plain rage.

DG outraged, saying "OK Can we go back to flowers now?"

I thought you’d never ask.

Amaryllis

We have a jungle growing in the basement.

Lots of succulents plus one blooming amaryllis.

The Amaryllis in that jungle has bloomed.

Large red Amaryllis bloom.

Pretty awesome.

DG frowning and saying "First it's birds. Now you're back to flowers?"

There’s that frown again.

More Faces for DG

It was kind of a hoot drawing DG with faces other than a frown. I thought it would be fun to do some more of that.

Here is “Relaxed”

DG relaxed and smiling.

How about “Amused”?

DG looking amused

He would look good “Mildly Surprised”

DG surprised.

Let’s go for “Hilarious”

DG laughing and saying "Just Stop. I'm exhausted".

Oh! Cool. “Exhausted”

DG looking exhausted.

Well… that was fun.
