New addition to succulent/tire garden just in time for the birds to arrive!

I bought a shepard's crook (and my friend, Karen did too)...and put it in the tire garden to hang my bird seed cakes from! I just bought a cake from Lowes, but need to make some in preparation for upcoming northern bird migration through south Florida! They should be arriving in a few weeks, and I am excited over it! My birdbath awaits them as well just feet from the seeds.

My one plant of Siam Tulip, which is a variety of ginger, sits just outside my front door under the shade of the hibiscus hedge...so I see it when I walk out. It brings happiness. There are little purple orchid-like petals that come out of all the little cups around the base of the pink flower. It is AWESOME, and I love it.


The Black Knight is filling in nicely in front garden (I took this in wind and rain, so it is a bit blurry)...sorry! I am noticing how lovely my lawn is in this photo! We have had so much rain lately, everyone's lawns are just gorgeous around here! Not just mine!

Lastly, I leave you with the cutest picture of LUCIE!!! Taken when she was playing with Malinka, a.k.a., Link Link, yesterday! She is so bright white, isn't she? A real dolly baby!!!

Happy Tuesday! xoxo- Julie

I'm wrong!!!!

I've told all of my family that I had posted pictures of my new little doggy cousin on my blog....but I have searched high and low, and cannot find them!!

So, without further ado, here she is....my brother and SIL's new doggy.....Introducing....LUCIE!!!!!  She was rescued back in April or so, and is housebroken, amd just a doll. Don't you agree??????

In one pic my daughter and the grandkids are posing with her, and the other is with my brother out under a tree in their yard!

Everybody leave me a comment on her super cute adorableness, ok?????
