Nursery visit

 

so many beautiful flowers to choose from at the garden center!

We brought home some goodies! Like geraniums

Zinnias and caladiums

a  new hibiscus bush:

and we spent a lovely afternoon planting everything

a friend brought us two big tubs of red bud trees too, we havent got those planted yet

After an afternoon of planting, weeding, digging, it's nice to sit down and read my current magazines.

Hope your week has been great, here it is the weekend already again!

magnolia time in the Lowcountry

I eagerly await them each summer......the shiny glossy leaves and the big white creamy blooms of the Magnolias!

In the evenings we've been watching "The Rifleman", the story of  widower Lucas McCain and his little boy Mark. They have bought a ranch out in the New Mexico territory in the 1880s, after the Civil War.

I wasn't sure I would like this old Western show, the episodes all in black and white, but it's a great show! We have loved every episode so far in Season one and these episodes were filmed in 1958 I think! Great stories and still keeping us entertained, over sixty five years or so later!

The evenings are hot and muggy, lots of "skeeters" and "no-see-ums" ---aggressive little varmits! LOL. So it feels good to come into a cool house and watch good tv after the work is done and everybody is finally fed and happy.

What is blooming in your area and what are your favorite old shows or movies?
