Ted is having a birthday soon . We are going to go for a day trip. Go antiquing and out to lunch. I have some kohl's buck I could spend on him. LOL. There's a tool extender he is want for his weed whacker/chain saw....that will be what I get him for his gift. The man loves tools. I used too till I retired...now not so much. :):) Shh don't tell that I told this...Ted had one of those saws on his extender before and the saw kept jamming, and Ted threw it down and bend the dickens out of his tool extender. Hmmm??
No rain today...hooray. Hope your day is good too. XO
I love all of your flowers and I have some Hostas just like those.. Hope Ted has a nice birthday and I'm sure if he's like my hubby he loves tools. :) Hugs, xo
ReplyDeleteTed used to save all his change when we worked...he would buy tools with it. Now we count our pennies so there is no change saving.LOL. You know retirement doesn't go as far a real paycheck. Hope you are doing well Susie. That your thyroid meds are just right. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI love host as, but don't have a place to put them. Too much sun. I bought some new plants today for pots and the bug drove me crazy as I was potting them. Not to mention the swear rolling into my eyes. I would welcome another rain storm or two, but thankful for what we have had.
ReplyDeleteOops. I hit the space bar in the middle of hostas. Haha,,
DeleteHi Nonnie. Gardening isn't always easy when it's hot and the bugs are out. Don't worry about the space bar mishap...Some times I read something I have written and re-read before clicking...and it still looks like I am not speaking the king's English. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteLove the Black Eye Susans, the Burgandy Mums and the Hostas with Lavender blooms.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your husband.and have a safe trip.
Thank you Munir. I hope you are doing well. Our summer has been very wet, lots of rain...now lots of bugs !!! Hope you are having a good summer. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat is too funny about Ted throwing down his tool. It sounds like something I would do. I love black-eyed susans. I should plant some.
ReplyDeleteKathy, You would not want to hear Teddy at times in the shop...He has no patience with tools that do not work right. He likes those tool extenders because you can use a small chain saw to trim limbs. :) Hope you can plant some wanted flower once you get retired and have all kinds of time to garden. Just remember once you retire you will want thinsg that are hardy...so you can do other things. LOL. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteEverything looks so pretty. Have a great evening.
ReplyDeleteKris
Thank you Kris. These flowers are taking care of themselves. LOL. In town I had slugs that would get on the hostas...but not here. Hope we have another good day tomorrow...today was nice. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeletePretty flowers...my weeds are doing great, even some of my flowers look good. My hostas don't flower anymore b/c the Lilies of the Valley overtook them. :-) Have fun on Ted's birthday trip!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, If the weeds around here don't slow down , I am going to try to pass them off as flowers. LOL...Hope you have agreat day, xoxo,Susie
DeleteAll your flowers are beautiful. I love hosta and plan to raise some in the greenhouse...can't wait.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so excited for you to have a greenhouse..I have been wanting at least a potting shed.. you know a place of my own. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteYour hostas are so pretty and don't you love a plant that you can divide and move around. The mums and Susans are so colorful. Have a good night, Susie.
ReplyDeleteMildred, I do love plants that you can divide...you get so much for your money that way. I need to do some of these mums that way.LOL Hope you have a restful evening too dear friend.xoxo,Susie
DeleteSo many pretty flowers in your garden area, lovely! Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, Hope things are going well there. Some of the weeds are thicker than the flowers in a couple beds..I need to get busy. Bless you to, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI really need to divide hostas. I have tons and lots of places to add more. Love that you keep so busy! :)
ReplyDeleteJane x
Blondie, Some times I just sit and read.LOL. I do try to keep busy to get things done. Hostas love the shady areas best. It's so easy to dig one up and split it . I like them too, they come in so many color combos too. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI love Hosta, and plan to separate mine and plant them around my newly limbed up Cedar tree.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, The one I split and planted was big and kind of getting too much sun...now it loves the shade of the tree. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Deletei am not sure how i got here. i was reading some one blog & saw your name ... and hopped over. nice to meet you, i'm Beth. love your hostas. deer have always eaten ours. silly deer. enjoy your day!! ( :
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for stopping by. We have deer in the woods 1/4 mile across the road.. I have seen them running but never in our yard. This year the rabbits ate my petunias. We have live trapped 19 chipmunks and 2 rabbits. They get to go to the big woods down the road. Blessings to you Beth. xoxo,Susie
DeleteVery nice photos! Today is a picture book day. No humidity, sunny in the 70's. Looks to be a nice weekend as well. 59 days until the next vacation. I can't wait!
ReplyDeletePaul, That is the kind of weather I love...just 70 degrees, no rain no humidity. I call it Vegas weather. Look how fast your next vacation is coming into view. LOL Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHappy BIRTHDAY to your Teddy Bear!!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess hostas do not fare well here in Texas because I don't remember ever seeing these! My black eyed susans are doing well - my first year to have these.
Your day trip sounds like a good idea. Hope you tell us all about it!
Linda, I think black eyed susans love the heat and water. Hostas like the shady areas best. Hope you guys are good today. xoxo,Susie
Deleteooooo, those red mums are so pretty. :~) Your flower bed looks terrific.
