Plenty of Summer Fun

This has been a summer full   everything. My computer is filled with pictures. No  time for blogs , no  normality in my life. Raising Blue and Bailey has taken up most of my time. It has not been easy , but it was worth it.I love those furry Doodles. Did manage  to grow a garden.Some things grew and some did not. But who worries about that anymore. On with the blog then....



Flowers are still my favorite subject. Sadly , this year there have been very few insects, especially early on.




Blue and Bailey have a contemplative moment

 

and they discovered Heffy, who enjoys outdoor life since the dogs arrived.


the squirrils seem to have disappeared  since we have the dogs. But plenty of baby birds have been born and are enjoying the summer feeder.



Bailey at 14 weeks



beautiful Blue


The iris have been beautiful as well


wow, another bug!!

 
Not sure what insect this is

and along came the lilies , which were as lovely as the iris

 
plenty of roses

 
this is one of my favorite photo

 

just pretty



kisses
