It's a beautiful day in the garden ..... :-)

My dh surprise me with a coffee colada and a large pot (no holes in the bottom) for one of my water lotuses. The poor plant was growing out of the pathetic little pot I had it in. I will be getting together later this morning with my oldest son (along with my other 2 children), my mom, and my dh's mom to go out to eat, hang out at my son's new home to enjoy the company of family. And then it's home to putter in the garden! LOL! Whoo hoo!

Got up this morning and went outside. What a lovely morning! Nice way to start Mother's Day off! I am just sooooooo tickled with all the FLOWERS in my yard! This is truly a dream for me! (I've wanted a flower garden for 30+ years. No kidding!) I now "HAVE" a flower garden!!!! Can you see me smilin'???!!! It's so pretty!!!! I just want to spend the WHOLE day out there!!!

Deb - I just gotta tell ya ..... I LOVE your new backyard garden. That is how I want mine to look eventually. LUSH with paths everywhere and lots and lots of blooming garden beds everywhere! EVERYWHERE!!! Ya got it going on there, girlfriend!!! As does Cat! And I still want to see more of what Roxanne and others here have as well. Y'all ROCK the treetops!

Here's a photo of the amazing RED blooms in my garden this morning! Someone tell me what cats/butterflies use canna as a host plant, please! :-) I know the hummers are supposed to like the nectar. (Fingers crossed!!)

Wishing y'all a wonderful and relaxing day! :-) :-)
