This spring, I spent countless hours (& $$) planting new flower beds & baskets around our country house. I was so looking forward to taking the 'after' photos later in the summer when everything had grown & bloomed. Not to be!! Our summer this year has been constant temperatures of 90 + degrees every day &, even with the natural showers & my hose waterings, my flower gardens have suffered. Most of my lovely baskets have withered & my flower beds....well they didn't turn out as I'd hoped.
But...
I still have my morning glories!! These hardy plants bloom first thing in the AM, then close up & hide their heads when the hot sun comes out. So smart!!!!
The humming birds love them as do the bees & butterflies!
Thank God for Morning Glories!!!!
Don't you just LOVE the sweet star they have in their centers????
I came into my loft studio the other day to put the quilt on the guest bed. Of course, all 3 cats were on it! This is what they were doing.....
I looked up too...saw nothing but the ceiling fan spinning.
Wonder what they were looking at????!!
September 3 will be another Barn Chicks meeting hosted by Karen at Brayton Homestead Interiors.
It's so much fun...please check it out...you'll ♥ it!

Hi Sherry... your Morning Glories are beautiful. I just love them especially because they are so old~fashioned and remind me of my grandma's garden... and your kitties are just precious, what a darling photo! Kittie kisses to them! Can't wait for the next Barn Chicks meeting either! Also love all the barns on your sidebar! xoxo Julie Marie
