June Blooms....and Frogs

Here is one of the resident frogs we have. Since it has been such a wet year there are hundreds of frogs. It is really cool when it rains and is overcast, the frogs start singing their mating song. It can get really loud and when they really get going they fall into a wonderful rhythm, there is not another sound quite like it!
I love this picture, this guy is in his element and in bliss!






The summer has been quite cool and very pleasant. All the plants are going crazy, they have plenty of water and moderate temperatures. It has been in the low 90s and upper 80s which is perfect for the jungle.
































Even some funny looking mushrooms!















The sky rockets are Happy!






















The back yard is filling in nicely, Yes! this is where some of our time has gone!















Passion Vine in bloom, BEAUTIFUL!!!
But beware, they are VERY invasive, they will take over and spread far and wide if you let them!















We planted Wax leaf along the driveway to create a consistent border and more privacy. I am spreading cedar sawdust as a mulch to deter weeds and hold in moisture. I know, you can barely see the truck and I am behind the camera! But I wanted to show how green it is!










The Day lilies bloomed on and on!! -















First year garden and the barrels are holding just fine!










And the closet is still on hold waiting in the background!!!
