Ya tired of my picture taking skills yet?
I know they aren't great, but at least I'm getting better aquainted with the ole camera
And you all have to suffer looking at them
Humor me cause I'm sickly ya know
This is my front flower bed, mostly just yarrow. I was in the process of moving all the flowers from this bed to the back yard by my pond. I wanted all wild type looking flowers back there. But alas I have to wait to move the lil sapsuckers.
Another weed pic hehe.

I love the old fashioned hollyhocks!!
Great pictures, and I spied the weeds! And a couple bugs!
Your close-ups are really good. Mine aren't so great . . . I have a nice camera, I think it must be my picture-taking skills that aren't quite up to par!
Walking around snapping pics and enjoying your garden sounds like a good recovery activity! We won't get bored of looking at them!!!
PS - looking at the timestamp on your post, I see you're still having trouble sleeping!!!

I like all of the pictures.
I'd like to have a big bed with wildflowers like your yarrow.
Is there a secret to moving yarrow? every time I've tried, it dies on me.

Awww thanks everyone LOL. Glad you like my weed pics too, as I'm running out of normal flowers
At least I'm having fun with the camera.
Trying to get some bird pics, but not doing to good. I don't have my feeder in front of my window anymore LOL.
Lucy,
I'm outside most of the time. Mostly at my sister's house on her deck. Cause her deck is a lot cooler than mine, well that and I'm trying to get her sick and tired of me visiting
Took this one this morning... Not real good but I'll post it anyway
I can't kill yarrow even if I try! I just dig them up and stick them in the ground somewhere and they grow. May take a while for them to perk up, sometimes they even look like they die, but they always come back
Yeah, I don't sleep very well. I get up about 3 almost every morning. But then I can go visit my sis and get her up, but I do wait until 6 AM, sometimes a wee bit earlier. Don't I Bev?
Karma, what kind did you plant?

Just some plain old fashion red ones that was a gift.
I have some doubles and the old fashions in black & purple.

I'd be interested in sharing seeds in the fall if others are?

I would love to trade seeds with ya! I don't have any pretty red ones.
One question though, how do you save them before those little bugs bore holes in them?

I'm thinking maybe I should have posted this in the Garden Bench
Not all flowers are they
Well if ya need to move it Chris please do!
More weeds
And a corn field. There is something I just love about cornfields
They just look sooooo neat.
