Rose Of Sharon......





 One of the flowering shrubs, that I really look forward to...is...

the Rose of Sharon...

A very common shrub...I do believe that almost everyone has one in their garden...

I have 2 very large ones...that are both Pink...but to my surprise...

A new shrub has finally flowered this week...

It grew from seeds from the other shrubs...but...it is different...

It has 3 different coloured flowers on the same bush ♥️

A deep burgundy...a white with a deep pink throat...and...the best of all...

A pure white flower...BEAUTIFUL!!!

All on one bush! Hey...am I a gardener, or what? hahaha!!!




I will try and get a photo with all 3 colours in bloom at once!

Award winning!!

I have a few of the pink at the cottage...and one white one there too...

Did not notice any buds last weekend, but with this darn heat, perhaps there will be some blooms when I get back down there!!

They send up lots of volunteers, and I plan on taking more down to the cottage this fall...lots of room out there for more shrubs....especially these beautiful 

                                    Rose of Sharon..... 

                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you are all having a great week so far...

Miss V and I spent 2 hours in the pool today!! We were pruney! hahaha!!

She really loves the water...and even put her face in today for Papa!! 
 


Not sure if we are heading to the lake tomorrow or Friday am...

Another long weekend for us here...kids coming out on Saturday..YAY!!

I think I will go with the gluten free veggie lasagnas again...

They were a hit last time...and not really  that difficult for me to make up the day before...

If I don't go to the lake tomorrow...I will try and get another post in...

So many photos!!! So little time!!!

Enjoy your evening my friends...

                         Cheers!   :o)

Thru The Kitchen Window.....





I have not been feeling up to par the last few days...

I think this roller-coaster weather is starting to get to me...

Is it hot and humid???

Is it cloudy and rainy???

Is it crispy and cool???

Anyhoo...

I pulled myself up by my bootstraps...

Got into my gym clothes...

Dragged my sorry arse over to Fitness...

Had a great time!!

Saw all the girls!!!

Went out for coffee afterwards...

I forgot how much fun I actually have...

And what wonderful gym Ladies they are♥️ 








After the coffee and chit chat...

I headed down to pick up Miss V...

While we were having lunch...

I took a few pictures thru the kitchen window...

It is a beautiful day out there...

And...now that there is a nap going on...

I am heading outside...

With my camera...

To do some light yard work... 

I am crippled from fitness!!!

Devon...{friend and instructor} really put us thru our paces this am...and I feel it!





The Rose of Sharon that grows right outside the kitchen window,is putting on a grand display right now...

As are my Porcupine Grasses, and of course the Limelight Hydrangea...

Just have to look out my window to see beautiful things...

How lucky am I?

 

Stopped by the Greenhouse on my way home...

Picked up 3 Fountain Grasses...a cabbage,a mum and a few odd begonias...

Gonna perk up the old front to greet the newest Season...

Have you bought anything for Fall decorating yet???

Am I too early???

                                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you all had a great weekend...and a great start to the week...

Think we'll have banquet burgers..{minus the bacon!} and Greek Salad for dinner...

Rain...supposedly...on its way tonight and tomorrow...good for the garden!! 


       Enjoy the rest of this glorious day...

                            Cheers!  :o)
