Around the yard, new subscribers, and… a tornado??

Yesterday I finally had time to plant the petunias I bought at the greenhouse. By the end of summer they will be a profusion of pink and purple blooms spilling over the sides of my planter boxes. I find them to be kind of a high maintenance flower with all the constant dead-heading, but I forgive them because they are so lovely!

I planted some zinnia seeds in the front flower bed for some cheerful color. I’m hoping they will take. I decided to add a few snapdragons too. So dainty and sweet.

Out back, Mama and Daddy Blue Bird are feeding babies almost constantly. I love to hear the babies peeping. If my calculations are correct, they should be about a week away from fledging.

I love to decorate my flower beds with fun things. These little blue rain boots were a Goodwill find

I’m glad I got a few things done around the yard yesterday. It looks like Southern Ohio might be in for some severe weather this evening. The latest report shows a strong possibility of tornadoes for both Columbus and Cincinnati. That is a little too close for comfort. As of now, it’s just rain and some rumbles of thunder. Poor Miss Emma is doing her best to cope. She hates thunder

I wanted to take a moment and say thank you to my new subscribers! My community is small and it’s always such a joy to welcome new friends. I look forward to visiting your blogs and getting to know you

Stay blessed!
