Flowers and Photos {Weekend Wrapup}

Happy Monday!

Here's a look at our weekend in photos...

Spring is here, and flowers are bursting out everywhere.  

These geraniums in pots by the outdoor fireplace come back every year.

I also planted some new ones in a pot by the pool.

This potted yellow rose came back strong this spring.

The first rose of the season.  The rest of the roses, including the knock out roses, are covered in buds but haven't bloomed yet.

The camelia bushes just dropped the last of their flowers.  This is unusually late!  The azaleas are finishing up their blooming, but it is hard to see in this picture.  At the front of the bed, there are lots of small plants and flowers that are just coming back for the year.

The pollen and pods have hopefully finished up.  It involves about two weeks of constant blowing and scooping up of leaves and debris.  One day, I filled five trash cans/bags full of the mess. I love the big trees, but hate the mess in the spring and fall.

Albie is my gardening assistant.

It's definitely warm enough for a dip, with temperatures reaching the high 80's.

All that pollen leads to allergies and sinus headaches.  Sometimes a nap is needed.

We went out to take some senior photos of Jack.  I snapped this too!

I'll do a separate post with the senior pictures sometime soon, but I just had to post this comparison shot.  We have taken pictures at the historical area in our town many times over the years.  These are some of my favorite shots!

Sunday night worship

Not many of these left, so we are going every chance we get!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
