We had a whole weekend of rain for Memorial Day. It wasn’t a fun time for those who wanted to finally get large groups together for cookouts. We had a cook in. The day after the long weekend the weather, of course, warmed up nicely and has been nice ever since. Who can figure?
Of course we need the rain to produce the greens and flowers. I popped my head out in between the rain one day and took some photos. More photos the next day. I promised to share them with you to cheer you up if you needed cheering up. Enjoy!

Pink rose bush side of our house – This bush was glorious last year. I hope it does as well this year.
Dianthus in front of our house – It has bloomed more since we moved it here.
Petunias in purple and dotted with white – They keep changing and more are coming out white.
From our back deck you can see the pond greening up nicely. All the creatures of the woods are happy here. They are well fed and have plenty of places to roam and/or hide out. Recently we spotted two deer in our backyard. I snapped this photo.
Two deer in our backyard – I talked softly to them so I could take this photo. They stood there and listened to me and slowly walked away. I guess I was not a threat to them. That is what I told them.
We recently spotted two coyotes in our backyard chasing a deer. We only hope the deer got away. Sad but I guess every creature has to eat. It is a way for nature to cull out the weaker ones. I warned our neighbors about keeping their small pets inside. They would be easy pickings for the coyote which hunt in packs.
Two foxes in our neighborhood – This photo was shared by one of our neighbors who spotted them in his yard. He said they greeted each other like they were family.

Our pond in the back is greening up nicely making all the birds happy! They nestle there. The bullfrogs croak all day long. In the past we had a couple of ducks and a great blue heron land in the pond when there was more water. There isn’t much there now unfortunately.
Bird bath with sprinkler – The birds love it and so do the squirrels.
Hibiscus is 7 years old now. We bring it in every fall and take it out again in the spring. It’s quite happy being outside again. It has dozens of buds but no flowers opened yet.
Passion Flower is now two years old. No buds that I can find yet. It’s not as happy as last year. Hope it perks up a bit.
Dahlias beginning to fill out.

Hope you enjoyed visiting our nest.
Here are some butterflies to bid you adieu!Come back again real soon!
I hope you enjoyed all my flowers and animal photos from New Hampshire. When the weather is nice it is a great place to live. I do love it all year round as long as I don’t have to drive in the cold and snowy weather.
Stay safe and well and keep reading to perk up your spirits, fill your mind with new things and get healthier in mind and body. After all, we authors need readers in order to continue to do what we love to do – write!
