Flowers

Hello folks.  I've been awfully lax about visiting and commenting and posting.  Allergies have kicked my ass but as I don't particpate in too many blog activities, no biggie. 

This is how the seedlings and planting are going so far.  

Salvia makes a brilliant statement with vibrant purple flowers on stalks.



Once we removed some overgrown neglected roses I could put in black-eyed Susans, allysum, coreopsis, purple hearts and my steadfast spider plants.


We did keep the roses on the trellis against the house, got them trimmed up nicely.


I also wanted to share a photo of a pond at a local park so you can see how much pollen accumulates here.  No wonder I had been living on Flonase and Allegra.   Isn't it gross?  Yes, the yellow is all pollen and it coats our patio, cars and even the poor turtles in the pond had yellow on their shells.  It's a real dream living in Florida.



As for book news I have finished a few books, abandoned one and made my goal list for the next 2 months for some nonfiction and historical fiction.  Reviews upcoming here or on Goodreads.

That's it.  I just wanted to post.
