August Bloom Day

 It's time to show your August blooms!

My Limelight Hydrangeas are just gorgeous and are showing some pink in their blooms. 

Our Limelight Hydrangea is about six feet tall and is in a flowerbed close to the road at the front of our property. 

Our Crepe Myrtles are blooming in the yard too.

We have had tons of rain lately, so their limbs have been drooping. They should perk back up in a day or two. 

Crepe Myrtles do very well in our area, so we have them in your front yard and back yard. We like them so much that we have 12 of them. We planted a few a year over the past 6-7 years.

Other blooms in the flower beds below are Cleome, Dahlia, Black-Eyed Susan, and Vinca.

Color on the porch: Caladiums and a Begonia bloom.

Thanks for stopping by to see my August blooms - Judy.

October Blooms and Warblers

My Limelight Hydrangeas are showing off their fall colors. Take a look:

Their blooms are fading and just look how gorgeous their colors are here in mid-October.

I have been watering my Limelight's to extent their blooms and I think it is working. 

Although they are not at their beak, their beauty is still abundant.

As I was looking out my kitchen window this morning, I could see a couple of small birds flitting around in the trees.

The hummers are gone, so I knew it had to be warblers.

They are so quick and don't sit still long. I was snaping pics quickly but only got a couple of decent pics.

Hope you are enjoying the fall colors in your area - Judy.
