 Yellows-Reds and Blues

around our place this week!

 ~Mellow Yellows~

The Crepe Myrtles are in full bloom here now...and while out taking pictures of them I noticed (probably for the 1st.time) that these clumps of puffy and frilly blooms each have a touch of yellow at the centers! Here are the white ones and a dark pink one. We have a few other colors too!


The other potted flowers shown are a 'Dancing Lady Orchid,' and an annual called 'Kalanchoe.' 

~Some Ruby Reds for today~

I love  fruits-any and all. These are some that I bought today. I sampled a couple already and-YES- they once again lived up to my expectations!

(A banana was especially good with a couple of chocolate chip cookies along with it! lol!)

 There is another  fruit I've been using a lot of lately-lemons!  I don't have a pic of a whole fruit but  we all know what a lemon looks like! :)

  Here is the way I've been using them this summer...I mix up a jug of Crystal Light Lemonade mix as directed...I then slice one whole lemon and sprinkle Splenda on each slice (both sides) and drop the fresh lemon slices into the drink mix in the pitcher.

 WOW! This makes a world of difference! Makes such a refreshing summer drink and looks so pretty! Another good thing...depending on how quickly your drink gets used...these same slices can be used in another 2 or 3 jugs of lemonade!(or more)

My husband likes to eat the slices when I finally think I need to start fresh again!  :)  He says they are delicious that way!

  

Last time,though,I put them aside to dry for about 3 days. Today I laced them together with craft- dried grasses.

(not sure what it's called)

I do like the way it looks! I hung it in my kitchen and made it the 'Star' of my MYM post this time!  :)

So-I say-

"If Walmart sells you a lemon ~ Make Lemonade!"  :)

Love,

On the farm_late May, 2010

~~~

These are a few scenes of our farm life this week. As I mentioned before, Charles and Joy (our daughter-in-law) have a great little garden going!

I had not seen, until yesterday, these extraordinary beans she has planted. They are a type of beans grown in her homeland-The Philippines! Charles measured this biggest one and it's 30 inches long! Yikes! One bean to the pot, I guess! :)







Anyway, Joy only has a few of these plants so she plans to save most of the pods for seeds!

~~~

Joy's sunflowers are all blooming out now and I had to go down and get a close-up view of them! Nothing says 'country' better than these huge, sunny, cheerful blooms! Looking at one of these flowers is sure to lift one's spirits!

OK-You know me and pictures...I HAD to get a pic posed by these blooms-even tho it wasn't a good time for me...but -who cares...the flower is the star!!

~~~

Last night I made this squash casserole again and this time I got a pic before I served it! Although I had used cubed stuffing mix this time -instead of the crumbled type) it still turned out very yummy! At the moment this is my favorite dish! :)

Lol- good thing, too, as we have a LOT of squash in that garden!

( click here for recipe )

~~~

After dinner Joy and I went for a golf cart ride around our neighborhood. She's so appreciative and enthusiastic about things -life in general- it's a pleasure to spend time with her!

This is a picture I got of her earlier this week with some Mimosa blooms in my yard! I think, maybe, they remind her of her original home!

~

This little guy followed us home from a neighbor's place nearby. He was a cutie but shy and wouldn't look at my camera. I was happy when his owner came to get him as I was worried he'd get in the street!



Dachshunds are cool little dogs and if I ever decide to have another dog I think this would be my choice.

We had one when my son was a kid. It was Christopher's dog. His name was Reggie!

Now I've gone and made myself all sad - remembering our Reggie!

~

Guess I should go look at the sunflowers again! :)

Have a great early spring/summer day!

Shadow Shot Sunday~ April 25, 2010 ~ Water Lily~

It's time for

Go *here* to find other shadow shots!

~~~

This is in my fish pond in our back yard but it's not a recent shot.

These water lilies bloom from May to September so I don't have long to wait for some new blooms!

I love the shadows the fern makes on the pads in the water;
an ever-changing show!
