mothers day at the ocean

 Happy Flag Day, Y'all!

after church this morning:

Wow, May has already slipped by and June has arrived!

I had a surprise Mothers day morning. There's a patch of wild cactus growing in one of the fields. it's been there for years, we don't do anything to it, just try to avoid STEPPING on it, LOL. Mother's day morning I spotted bright yellow blooms and walked over to take a look!

It has never bloomed before.

its right in front of my feet

a Sunday morning walk

Azaleas were still in bloom all over

and so were these roses, I think they are Lady Banks

Our bluebird family was  out fluttering about and busy

Pretty purple blooms, think these are Spiderwort?

My pink rosebush bloomed out right in time for Mothers day!

Plenty of "dandy lions" too, LOL

sweet smelling honeysuckle:

and daylilies:

One of my Mothers day presents:

I love this style of pottery! I think I have three pieces now

I wanted to celebrate Mothers Day at the ocean..............so off we went! It was the girls very first time!

Up and over!

one of our favorite State parks:

I love driving through the maritime forest here, it's so pretty

over to see the lighthouse, built in 1859

Pelicans were swooping

Peggie was pretty scared

The sound of the waves, all the unfamiliar noises and smells

I finally got her to walk closer to it with me, but she was still unsure

Betsie peeking around

it was a beautiful sunny day

 167 steps to the very top! Nope, we DIDN'T. LOL

trying to escape, LOL

But then I got a doggie hug

Peggie, Betsie........then Betsie and Peggie, LOL!

These young girls MOVE FAST, LOL

after our day at the beach........headed back home

we got a beautiful sunset

Both girls fell sound asleep

June is now here. Our ladies are enjoying watermelon on these hot days

Our peppers and "maters" are growing and doing good so far

little baby watermelons:

growing, growing......

They're now out in the big garden, and growing quickly!

I hope your weekend has been nice! Its been VERY HOT HERE! And we're getting nice thunderstorms pretty much daily. 

Everything we're growing are loving the rains.

So glad you came by to visit with me today! Hope you have a great week.
