Flowers For Today....

 This is just one of the new containers of flowers through out our town. This one is at the park and I see there are new rose bushes also.
 Near the entrance to the park, some hostas and impatiens. I like this color.
This little bed is at the corner of Jefferson and West streets. It at the main office of the Jim Dandy restaurant.  That is a flowering crabapple tree, I find the root clump interesting. The city has painted all the hydrants fire engine red this year. They sure stand out.
 Today and the next few will be like fall in our area. Today's high will be just in the lower sixties. I' m loving this. Wishing all of you a great day. XO

    That red may make finding the hydrant quicker. Sounds like you are having a warm week. Hope you get to enjoy it. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    I just planted some hostas that I found on the clearance rack. Hope they do as well as those in the photo! The impatiens look good and gives the bed some great color. The tree is really interesting! Enjoy these cooler days!

      Cheryl, I am loving this cooler air. I have noticed when planting hostas, you only need a little bit for it to grow into a nice hosta in a couple years. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    You can blame the cool weather on me. I've been asking God to "keep it cool" but no telling what August may be. Maybe summer will be in September and October. who knows.

    Aren't the flowers just beautiful this year, so vibrant!

    Your cooler weather sounds delightful. Your hydrants are so red, I thought maybe they were the "fake" kind for dogs to use!!!!!
    Those flowers are so pretty. Thanks for sharing. Love you.

    Dear Susie...I LOVED that red fire hydrant! I know it might sound nuts..but I wish they all looked like that. OUt here they are all yellow...an UGLY yellow. I wonder how much spray paint it would take to ...and how many nights I could do it with out getting caught! LOL

      Boston Boy, It nice clean town. Not too big that is for sure. I should take a picture of the most interesting things in town. Our old library used to be one of the nice buildings. It was a Carnegie Design. You know like that can't even begin to compare to the buildings in your town :):) Love it. Hope you are having good weather, I can't believe it's in the 60's here. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    Hi susie! I love when towns take the time to make themselves look pretty! most of the towns around here do. all tiny little towns here! Ours has big pots up and down mainstreet and in the little library park. and of course there are flags everywhere too!
    I love driving through town early in the morning and thinking to myself.. "goodmorning town!" I know that sounds dumb.. but thats the truth! LOL!
    have a great day
    xoxo
