A late bloomer. I planted a few seeds later in the season. This one of about 8 plants. There are a few more buds that may not open since we have more rainy and cooler weather heading our way. I’m a little bummed about it but I’ve learned so much about gardening this year that I can’t complain.

Not a flower but we did watch this grow from flowers. Our tomatoes have been slow to ripen this year. I think we’ll get to pick this red one today. This is an unusually big cherry tomato. So we’ve been keeping our eye on it.

Have a blessed day! I love my colorful flowers. It’s a mishmosh of annuals and perennials but I am happy with the colors it produced since Spring. I’m going to miss it all when Summer ends.
I’ve learned a bit more about gardening this year. More so than ever before. I can’t wait to plan for next year.

Here’s a pretty sunflower for those of us who need an extra pick me upper.
This is a picture I’ve taken years ago. It’s one of my favorites and it was taken from a park nearby. I’d love to grow these type of mammoth sunflowers in my garden someday.

These are two out three sunflowers that survived our backyard garden. They have finally opened up a few days ago.
I want to be like a sunflower; so that even on the darkest days I will stand tall and find the sunlight . ~ Unknown

Happy Saturday! Our first full size Dahlia from our garden this year.

Today my son and I went to the closest city park and hid our painted rocks for others to find. My son, of course, couldn’t help but check out the playground. I found it odd that there were no other children there. It is a Saturday and it was just after lunch. He had the playground all to himself for about 15 minutes.
The heat may have been a bit unbearable for some but not for my child. My crazy son had on a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. He claimed he was fine. What is it with kids using shorts in the cold winter and long-sleeved shirts in the heat of summer?
We also took a little walk to the community garden portion of the park. I love being able to see all of the fruits, vegetables, and flowers popping up everywhere. Here are a few of the photos from today.

I can’t wait to plant a cute fern or flower in this. This was pretty simple and quick to put together, even with my limited painting skills.
Materials
Terra cotta pieces – purchased from Henery Hardware
Decorative Door – Michaels
Marbles – Dollar store or Michaels (I had some left over from a previous project. Actually purchased mine from a local thrift store).
Glue for terra cotta, door and marbles – E6000 from Michaels
Instructions
1 – Paint each terra cotta piece.
2 – Seal pieces with a clear coat of spray enamel. (This planter is going outside in the mini garden I’m creating and I don’t want the paint to get washed away by the rain).
3 – Glue the two bottom pieces together. Leave the top pot free. It’ll be much easier to place a plant in it.
4 – Next, glue the door and marbles to the front of the bottom piece.
