Tomatoes, Tomatoes, Tomatoes

We've got lots of tomatoes already on the vine!! Great big, juicy ones and my favorite sweet Cherry tomatoes!!! They are growing really fast this year! Is it the wonderful top soil we have or the strange Harvest Full Moons we're having??

Visit to the Mammoth Spring Park

I saw these ducks when I went to the Mammoth Spring Park today! The Mama duck sensed I was there and headed her little ducklings to the water!! I also got a shot of three Mallard's. Nature is so beautiful this time of year!! Hope you enjoy the view!

May Showers Bring June Flowers

The weather this year here in the Ozarks has been strange. Winter hung around longer then usual and now we are being drenched with too much rain!! The warm, humid air has given my gardens a good start but we need more sun and less rain now!!! The Hydrangeas have buds just waiting to burst open. The peonies have already bloomed, the roses are blooming, a few day lilies and it won't be long before the Crype Myrtles bloom. We've planted several new varieties this year and we already have our Tomato plants planted and staked. Cherry tomatoes are my favorite! Yum Yum!! Now if the sun will just make its presence more regularly it will grow.

Slideshow of our Spring Flowers

Spring Has Arrived In My Neighborhood

A View
of My Neighborhood

Yesterday I took a walk with my camera in hand and took pictures of the world going on outside the walls of my house. A walk to the park which was alive with activity; ducks, pigeons, beavers, turtles, rabbits and even a couple of snakes sunbathing on the warm rocks. I caught a shot of the water rushing across the rocks and the water drops in the picture seem to be in still motion. A bug happily crawling on the pear blossoms in my yard, my beautiful purple Hyacinths beginning to bloom in vivid colors from blue to purple. The Bluebird who has returned again this year to claim the birdhouse in our backyard. The little purple wild pansies and the clover with honey bees already busy gathering pollen. I made a mosaic of all the gifts of Mother Nature from her busy world that goes on around me every day. We can enjoy all of it if we just take the time to look.
