My Back Yard and Surprises

Today I am showing my backyard as it is seen from my kitchen window.  It's where I like to sit and relax, but with this hot weather I haven't enjoyed it much this year.


Added note.  This was taken 2 or 3 weeks ago and the grass is not this green anymore.


My yellow daylilies did much better than the orange ones.


This is my little garden next to the garage that I see when I'm sitting in the back yard.  Not looking so great this year but I did find a surprise.  See the lighthouse birdhouse on the fork handle.  Well a little wren built a nest in it.



Do you see her on the grapevine branch going up the fork handle?


Here you can see the sticks from the nest peaking out the bottom hole.



Another surprise I found in the garden by the house is this sunflower growing from the seeds the birds have scattered.



Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are all having a great week.  It is still hot here and no rain in sight.

This week I'm linking to


Until Next Time
