Spring is Sprouting all over and soon it’ll be Summer!

Posted on June 9, 2020 by jjspina

This year (2020) has been a difficult year for everyone all over the world. Of course it has been harder for those who do not have a home or daily meals. I pray for anyone who is having a horrendous time during the Pandemic and all the violence we are experiencing.

I want to take a minute out of this post to say a pray for all who are in need and for the family of George Floyd. God bless them all.

Even though I haven’t been out and about for a few months I have been walking around our yard and snapping photos of all the trees and flowers that are budding and blooming. It gives my soul a lift to see the life around us goes on in spite of everything that has transpired in the news.

Here are some photos of what is growing around our yard.

**Hibiscus – 6 years old and still going strong!**

My son and daughter-in-law gave me this plant above and the one below for Mother’s Day. Hibiscus – 6 years ago and Pasaflora this year.

**Pasaflora – still waiting for the blossoms**

**Red roses – Blessings from St. Theresa!**

**Pink roses in bloom – from all the prayers to St. Theresa, The Little Flower**

My husband has been busy planting his garden on the deck – hanging tomatoes, zucchini, and cucumbers. I can’t wait to start picking the first crop.

**Zucchini growing by leaps and bounds**

Our Rose of Sharon bushes are greening up but no flowers yet until July and August. I will definitely share photos when they are gloriously covered in their summer attire of flowers.

**Our pond greening up and coming alive with bull frogs**

Just underneath the tomato plant and above photo is our pond. It is greening up and the bull frogs are croaking away big time. A month or two ago we listened to the peepers out in the pond every night. If you left your window open they would keep you up all night. I got used to them and didn’t even hear them after awhile. They become music to sleep by.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the plants and flowers gracing our yard. They make a house a home in many ways. Stay tuned for more updates on the veggies and photos of the first crop! So excited!!

Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!

Lovely flowers! I wondered how I would grow cucumbers in a planter on the deck. Thanks for the visual. Glad you are well!
