wooo hooo!!! I got kicked off the internet about a million times today...most of my blog list won't open for me at all...and it is not just me...no one in the area can get online for long at all...I am so happy to have made it here to see you!
I thought maybe the storm last summer would have knocked out that birdbath...thank goodeness! I am glad you posted it!
oh....yesterday I got a compliment on my tootsie time bag...I had it at the post office, and a lady commented how cute it was and asked what tootsie time is! lol
I told her all about you and told her to check your blog out too if she decided to check out mine!
anyways...that knock out rose is a real diva hey? she love to do the photo shoots about as much as we all love to look and admire your beautiful gardens!
Next week....tootsie plants! rain or shine, I will be a dirty dirty girl...(in a good way...hee hee)

Jessica, Your flowers are so beautiful. The purple ones in the middle are Columbine. I adore knock-out roses. I can't wait for mine to bloom. I love your other roses, too. I always enjoy a stroll through your beautiful yard. Isn't this fun!
Hugs, Terrie

The last picture just killed me! What a joy to have a sink and counter outside!! Our weather wouldn't allow that but I'm so darn jealous!! I love the give-away prize from Tootsie! I remember her giving it away but I didn't remember you winning it! Congrats belatedly. Does the Genius graduate next year then? My Nicholas is moving out today!!!!! That's a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. I feel a bit melancholy about it but he's doing the right thing and he is grown up now. Busy times around here but nothing really worth blogging about and boring people with, LOL, thus my recipe for cleaning windows!!

Hi Jess, you are sooo right! No time to play in the dirt this week but tomorrow I'm gonna get down and dirty!

So nothing new to post this week, although I did fertilize my extisting beauties.

Your garden is looking sooo good! I love your flowers, I esp love your impatiens and your roses!

Unknown said...

Is your unknown flower a columbine? I think I just saw it on another blog.

Sue said...

Beautiful pics J! Yes, columbine, its a gorgeous plant and I had many but now have none, I don't know why I lose so many perrenials! I still need to get me a couple knockout roses, maybe this weekend! Have a great weekend sweetie! xoxo

Nancy Rosalina said...

Hi Dear Jessica! Oh, your garden is just beautiful! I love all your flowers and the little fountain from Tootsie is precious! She has the greenest thumb I've ever seen, doesn't she?
I got some knockout roses for Mother's Day and we planted them. They looked good for about four days and then some of the leaves began to turn brown. Do you think I've watered them too much or were they maybe in shock? I was sure hoping I could grow these!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
