Bring on summer

I have been waiting all winter to be able to sit on my porch and drink a cup of coffee without freezing, It is finally here. My husband, bless his wonderful heart, has been diligently working everyday building flowerbeds for me and getting things transplanted. I have to tell you that it looks wonderful!
We can now sit on the front porch in the evenings and see the blooms on the butterfly bushes that are starting to show their wonderful colors. The temperature could not be more lovely. It is not cold enough to need a jacket, but it is not hot enough to make you crave the air conditioning either.
Just off to the side of the front porch lays the lily bed, which is full of about 12 different types of lily's, next to it lie's the strawberries that already has berries on them. The lilac bushes are beautiful, and you can not forget about the elephant ears. Amazing!
I have waited all year to enjoy this am so glad that the time is finally here. Things are so green and multicolored that it almost takes my breath away. The temperature is perfect. The smell of fresh cut grass is also a big love for me. I can not explain why, but I love the smell of fresh cut grass. In the area in which we live some one is always mowing. It has become sort of a competition in our neighborhood I think. When one mows, we all mow. It is like we all think to ourselves "why did they have to start that because now we have to too". There is not one of us that can sit around when someone else is working out in their yard, we all must join in.
Enough babbling, I love the spring and summer season!

  1. Sounds like a wonderful site. My favorite part is the lillies. My favorite flowers are lillies, especially Easter Lillies. Enjoy your summer and the beautiful plants. I am envious.
