Garden, July 3, 2011  2300

I PURCHASED THESE 3 CHICKADEES AT THE DOLLAR TREE STORE TODAY…THEY RESIN AND ARE SO REALISTIC!!

I hope you all had  the BEST weekend ever!! Steve and I got so much done around the yard and house this weekend it was awesome….all the while being entertained by the hawks and squinting our eyes at the trees while washing the deck and painting the trellises.  I took a few photos on Sunday to show you some of the latest blooms in the garden but will update with a more indepth garden update later in the week.
