I too enjoy flowers from my garden, especially roses. Most of our roses are Knock Out , as it is so humid hear that other roses don't do that well, at least in my garden. ~smile~ <br />Your little critters seem to enjoy your garden as well, we rarely see raccoons, they are around but seem to hide from us.<br />Thanks for sharing.<br />Blessings,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-70413073028074093422019-06-01T20:28:35.527-04:002019-06-01T20:28:35.527-04:00Betsy, we've haven't seen the raccoon agai...Betsy, we've haven't seen the raccoon again, but I'm sure he's around.

Pretty little birds to visit. I am not happy with raccoons. They are pretty and they are quite the bandits they look to be with that mask. They will tear up a metal bird feeder.<br />I think it's good you travel and see the world.

One year I couldn't sleep and came into our Florida room and reclined in my Lazy Boy. I looked up and a couple of eyes were looking back at me! It was a raccoon! Scared me. My husband and grandson took care to remove the limb that the rascal used to climb onto our roof. I hope your weekend is going well.

Love this post - I feel as though we've taken a turn in your gardens together - so exquisitely beautiful.<br /><br />Congrats to your grandson! You must love having him around to get to know as he becomes adult - that's got to be neat. My nephew just graduated college (Arizona State) and found his dream job close to home. He's been gone so far away (we are in mid Ohio) so it will be awesome having him back closer to us again. He would've never left his beloved AZ if it weren't for the dream job, that I know for sure, haha.<br /><br />Big hugs!<br />Michele M./ Finch Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971943265328093734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-7430715916286640142019-05-25T23:46:58.892-04:002019-05-25T23:46:58.892-04:00You must be so proud of your grandson to be excell...You must be so proud of your grandson to be excelling in his academic career.
