A Beautiful Day


Here are some of the many volunteer petunias that 
came up in various pots this year.  


The weather has been simply gorgeous lately and 
today is another beautiful day.  I've
enjoyed many afternoon breaks and evenings
sitting on the patio.   We grilled yesterday and
ate outside and it was so nice!  

 

A new little bird has been visiting the back yard
this spring.  I think this is an Eastern Phoebe.


I've been having to try several times to get each
photo uploaded to my blog.  This is not the
first time.  Is anyone else having this problem?

Until next time...

  7. I didn't know petunias came up from year to year. Usually we have such a cold winter that they wouldn't survive here. They are very beautiful.

  8. Hi Cheryl...I have volunteer flowers, too! Don't you just love them. I think they are stronger than the new ones you plant. And, I am also having a few issues with blogger.

  9. Hi Cheryl,

    Beautiful pictures! I've been having trouble uploading pictures too. I've found it really helps to reduce the size of the photo.

    Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

  11. Yes, I have had some troubles, but not in the past few days. Annoying...

    Love those petunias that revive again. It helps the budget, doesn't it?!

  12. Your volunteer petunias are such a beautiful color.
    Your yard is so pretty and looks like such a peaceful place to relax.
    I've had that problem with photos loading from time to time. Frustrating!!

  15. wow, what a view!! I can see why you would enjoy having your afternoon breaks out there. The petunias are just gorgeous. Have to admit I haven't had time to try to upload, so I don't know about that. Hopefully, it will be getting straightened out! blessings ~ Tanna

  20. What a nice place! I upload a large batch to Picasa rather than individually to each post so haven't had any problems. But, I have been getting Service Not available when going from page to page.

  21. Lovely pictures and I envy just a bit the beautiful scenery in your backyard. My problem when uploading pictues is trying to get them positioned. The program that blogger uses isn't user friendly at least for me.

  22. The petunias are my favorites. I like them so much more than the fancy, frilled ones....so far I don't see any of mine coming back.

    It's funny how much I lost over our mildest winter.

    We have a phoebe nest over the light fixture on the back porch....not a pretty sight!
