Busy Owl Mother

We are having the most glorious weather today. I feel energized enough to move mountains. I moved quite a few yesterday and am feeling so good about my productive streak. I'm having a broker open house tomorrow and must stop by the listing today to make sure everything is ship shape. This Busy Owl Mother with the cutest little owlets is much busier than I'd care to be. I love owls because they hunt and eat rodents...my least favorite part of the animal kingdom.

Flower Photography This Week

I photographed the blue hydrangea and the oak-leaf hydrangea this morning when Webster and I went out to feed our dog friends. The red poppy is mine. It came up as a volunteer along with a plant I purchased last year. The flower only lasted for one day and it was so beautiful. I'm very glad I took a picture of this beauty that always reminds me of a crepe-paper flower. Click to enlarge. These are "right out of the camera" with no Photoshop adjustments at all.

Dog Smelling Red Poppies

So cute. This little doggie looks very blissful, doesn't he? I would be too if I had some red poppies blowing in the wind in my garden. Enjoy your Sunday.

Pink Bicycle Tires

I hope you run over some pink petals while you pedal your bike this weekend. Doesn't the air smell delicious this time of year? My property smells like a perfume factory with the wild honeysuckle and multi-flora roses blooming all over.

House and Garden Tour Continued

A few more photographs from yesterday's Garden Club of Somerset Hills House and Garden Tour. I once owned two benches with stork ends exactly like the one in picture #2. Oh well, you can't keep everything. The barn photo illustrates the picture-perfect day with so many feasts for the eyes. Don't you love the Johnny Jump-ups growing in the cracks of a terrace? I've always been fond of these little wild pansies. Have a great weekend, Rosemary.
