DH on the mower. This part of the land is really stony. He's already hit a few rocks and will need to sharpen the blades soon. Oh for you guys out there, it's a John Deere.
My Christmas cactus blooming in May. I put it outside on my porch every year for the summer. It loves the heat and humidity but has never bloomed out there.
This is my other lavender. This is what I use for my lavender jelly. If you look really closely you might see the bees. We have a lot of mason bees but not too many honey bees. That's OK we love all the pollinators ;)
Isn't this pretty! The blooms have just started on this. I will try to get a pic when all the blooms are out.
This is my frog I have in with my lavender...DH got a little carried away with the weed eater. He came in and said he took the eyes off my frog. We have a little toad that lives in our backyard and I thought he meant that he had hurt the toad. I was very upset but then when he showed it to me I just laughed. The frog is just a decoration, the toad on the other hand eats the bugs. I love my toad but only like my frog. Guess Mr. Froggy is going to have to visit the garbage can...LOL. (Oh and I don't know what happened to his eyes, I couldn't find them. Maybe the weed eater pulverized them)
Here are my sunflowers. These are the first ones that I have had that are short and stocky. I didn't plant them. These are from the sunflower seeds that the chicks didn't eat. We had about six come up. These ones here and three in the chicken pasture. Needless to say the ones in the chick area did not make it. They ate them down to nubs. When these get big enough and start to dry out in the fall, we'll put the seeds into the chicken feed. I might scatter a few in with the oats DH grows. Amazing he didn't mow these down LOL.
These are our blueberries. They are starting to come off now and I am overloaded with them. Whatever we don't eat fresh will be frozen to be canned later. The branches are so loaded with berries they are hanging on the ground. I pick them every day.
