10:07 AM This smells so good and the lilacs have never lasted so long. Maybe they like the cold. ![[Linked Image]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL145/2152270/23823082/413846232.jpg)

I tried posting the pictures twice per instructions and couldn't make it work. So I tried to delete the post and can't do that either.
Sorry folks.

Sheri, when I click the links...they download to my saved pics automatically. Then I have to open the downloads saved on my computer to see them...strange.

I got this big pot for 25.00 a few years back and had all sorts of bulbs and perennials in it that come up all through the year. ![[Linked Image]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL145/2152270/23823082/413898444.jpg) the butterfly bush has loved all this rain. ![[Linked Image]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL145/2152270/23823082/413898443.jpg) I love the color of this hydrangea before it turns blue. ![[Linked Image]](https://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL145/2152270/23823082/413898442.jpg)

Morning all, Oh Sheri, your garden and flowers are beautiful! We have flowering bushes here, yard was professionally done yrs ago, but I want to add a few rose bushes next yr.. have to see what the ones I have already do... will post pics later of what is blooming now... We are dog sitting my SIL's mini Yorkie , so glad our Milo gets along with him... he doesn't like a lot of other dogs... I am working on trying to back up my old I Pad so I can reset it for hubby... it takes me a while to figure out these things.... Nana

It won't load for me to see. after you click on it, Sunny, then there will be a box at the bottom left of your screen,,,click on that & the picture will show up. at least that is how it works for me. I hate to delete her pretty hydrangeas.

I"m not sure if that picture loaded correctly because I see it and the url. Delete it if it"s not correct junie or James. The file size was too large for it to automatically load in a post; this limit was set to half a meg; I updated it to a larger value and it should load now.

Thank you James. I usually size my pictures to the same size but I guess I didn't this one. I didn't think they'd even load if they were too big. Anyway thank you very much.

Nope nothing here really..a variegated Yucca plant that's days are numbered Next year I plan on putting in a flower bed like the one that is at home. I have potted up some of the violets that came from the farm and I intend to bring my daffodils and surprise lillies with me as well

I think even the Japanese Beetles are affected by the heat because they're eating the zinnias instead of the roses this year.

I agree. The heat has been great for the gardening...well if you have access to water that is. My uncle planted his garden where he has no access to water it...it is a loss. We were three weeks with no rain.
I have to figure out how to post pics on this computer to share with y'all.
