Backyard fun

My current favorite flower, sort of. This is supposed to be a “gold rush” Shasta daisy, but it looks white to me, except for a teeny bit of yellow around the center. But these flowers are so fun…

Watching planes:

Swinging on the big swing (first time - he’s such a big boy now):

And of course, temping the sprinkler. This really was too funny.

There you have it… 2 posts… 2 days. Yep, this is how I spend my evenings. Really, who cares about work? Plus, I’m making Mom happy. Hi Mom! *waves*

12 of 12 - the May edition

It’s that time of the month again… lol. Time for Chad’s 12 of 12. It’s a cool concept and you should go and check it out the other 12 of 12’s if you get a chance.

I warned you yesterday, the pictures were lacking. But I was able to make up for it last night. Honestly, there is nothing like spring in Michigan.

7:30 AM – I was chasing Hunter around the house with the camera… literally. This is the one shot I got that wasn’t so blurry. Even tho’ a couple of the blurry ones were kind cool.

5:46 PM – Flowers from a planter hanging in the back yard. Cool colors together.

5:47 PM – Even dead flowers can make a cool picture.

5:47 PM – I love finding hearts in unusual places. Here is a heart in the freshly tilled dirt of my flower garden. I hope it’s a sign of a garden to be filled with love.

5:52 PM – Kev making dinner… tacos, yummy.

6:40 PM – This is the poppy plant that we bought last weekend to plant in one of my flower gardens. It was frosty out these past couple of nights, so it’s living inside for right now. I love the colors of the flowers.

6:42 PM – Hunter outside… of course. Actually he is playing with the bird feeder.

6:58 PM – Here is a pic of my new highlights. I’m not having the best hair day, but you get the idea. NOTE: of course it looks much better today. Lol

~*~ Yard tour begins here~*~

7:25 PM – This is a close up of the flowers on my Twisted Weeping Lavender. It really is the coolest tree.

7:30 PM – I thought the light looked cool coming thru’ the back of the pear tree.

7:30 PM – Apple blossoms. There are so many this year, it’s great. Last year a late frost killed everything off and we only had one apple on this particular tree.

7:31 PM – My multi-tasking man! Kev is pushing Hunter on the swing and playing catch with Tyler. And yes, Tyler is sticking his tongue out. LOL

There you have it. I hope you enjoyed the backyard tour. Thanks to Chad for hosting this monthly exercise.
