...through our garden!! :)
I am so proud of the improvements we have made to the exterior of our home this Spring. You may be tired of hearing about it or seeing pictures...and if that's the case, you should skip this post! Anyways, I LOVE flowers. What girl doesn't? Almost every night Stephen gets home from work before me and he usually has the flowers watered when I get home...and almost every night I tell him that I need to go outside to "look at the flowers" and he laughs. Its a usual evening thing in our house recently. I just like to look at the pretty blooms!
Well, one evening this week I took TONS of pictures so you could all enjoy looking at them with me. Let's get started:
This is the view when looking out of our dining room bay window. We added the hummingbird feeder last weekend and I have yet to see any hummingbirds. Do we need to do anything else other than add food to the feeder?
Our little basil plant in the kitchen...I don't really like basil, but I do like the way the plant looks!
Front steps and mailbox...steps are wet from watering the flowers.
Picked up this beautiful perennial last weekend at Lowe's for 50% off, its called banana cream and is a pale yellow in person. So pretty!
Love these lillies which are also a perennial!
Dramatic purple pansies on our patio table out back...
Pretty petunias hanging by our mud room windows. This plant has taken off since purchasing it, I love it when that happens!
Sweet Pea's that are kind of taking over an area of our side/back yard. I like these, but I think they will be going soon...anyone have any tips/ideas on controlling them rather than digging them up and throwing them away?
I LOVE these lemon drop perennial flowers...got these at Lowe's for 50% too!
Beautiful!
Coming soon-a cone flower!
Tomatoes are growing and turning red every day!
More hanging petunias that have taken off since purchasing. Ignore the light on the post, it's broken...actually, the whole this is broken because there is no wire running to it. Problem is that I like it in the yard...and it's in a very sunny area. Would it be possible to remove the electric light and place a solar one there instead? I really need to research re-doing this!
And last but not least, Louie! Because really, what's a post without a picture of this cute pup?
A boring one I tell ya! :)
Happy Friday, y'all! Have a great weekend!

I love all the flowers! I wish we had flowers in our yard but it's so hot and dry here I'm not sure they would last long! We have huge plants that survive but they're nowhere near pretty :)
That is so cute that you go outside to look at your flowers! A garden is something to be enjoyed! I'm pretty sure the hummingbirds will be coming around soon with a yard as pretty as yours. I love your screened in porch, too.
BEAUTIFUL! I tried growing some herbs and killed them. Guess I don't have the green thumb! We bought a hummingbird feeder at the end of summer last year and have yet to hang it. I need to get on that! We saw a couple hummingbirds around our porch last year, so I'm hoping with a little food enticement, they will come around more.
Everything looks so great! I'd want to take a stroll each night too to admire all that pretty-ness. :)
Gorgeous!!!! It all looks amazing!
Well, I can tell we would be real life BFFs. I also do the Flower Walk every time I get home...just never know when things might have changed! I love your light post-- I have no idea about converting it to solar power, but it's definitely worth looking into! I don't have any hummingbird feeders, but my mom has mentioned that sometimes it takes a few weeks after putting out food for them to start showing up.
