Thankful In All Things

 

Today is a cool, cloudy, windy day. I am so thankful for clouds. I am so thankful today to have so many flowers to look at and to smell their sweet flower smell. I never knew hydrangeas even had a smell until I walked out to take pictures of them. I know you can't tell but these flowers are as big as dinner plates. They are just growing and growing.

 

I can't ever get them in one shot. I have always wanted to grow hydrangeas. I hate to think of how many I murdered through the years. Why they like this particular place I don't know. I think though, it is because Ron took over the care and feeding of them. They never grew until he started taking care of them. He feeds them every Sunday evening. We also never trim them. Never. I will remove the blossoms in the fall. That is that though. This year we never has a frost. I think that has something to do with it.

 

I just had to show you a picture of these beautiful tomato plants. I think they really like it here, protected from the harsh elements out in the pasture. They are also protected from the wind. We have had a lot of wind this May. Well a lot for here.

 

These are the peppers. You can't really tell but they are so tall too. We picked our first peppers last night.
I am enjoying this year gardening. Well so far. There are just enough.

 

I know this is my header picture but I had to tell you about it. I was taking pictures this morning and it is cold and windy. It is too cold for these little bees to be out. I think they must have got stranded out here on the sunflower. It wasn't this cold or blowy earlier. Then as the sun came up the temperature dropped and the little orchard bees ended up here. I have never seen orchard bees so still before. Never two together either.
As soon as it gets a bit warmer, I am sure they will be on their little merry way. 

This is such an easy day to be thankful. I love it when there are days when all around me are gifts of life. I love seeing the colors and the smells and the wonderful cool mornings. I hope you have a lovely day too.
