This is the first post from the library free wifi. The connections slower, but not too bad. I updated all my network protection software and the VPN for when I do online financial stuff.
Now, onto the pictures:
begonias in a concrete planter along the back of the house:
Alexa's influence is more pink flowers of all things! I wouldn't have thought she'd be a pink gal...but hey, surprise!
Pinkish geraniums in planters
The planters and hanging pots need daily watering in order to survive. I'm looking into some water conserving "soil" choices.
Succulent with flowers that were mostly red when I rescued it and now have white and yellow blossoms as well.

cucumber blossoms under the tomato plants
mystery squash blossom, temporarily tagged as pumpkin from its rampant nature. It's currently growing up the 6 foot privacy fence and peeking over into the neighbor's yard.
Funny thing is that I've never been able to grow any kind of squash due to borers ruining the crop. I've experience a little spurt of hope for this year with my volunteers.
dill blooms
cherry tomatoes
rose of sharon (hummingbird central!)
frgot what this was but the jagged pink and white blooms are fantastic in a hanging pot in the shade under the tree. they really POP!
so far, successful internet at the library. I found a new author writing historical fiction about elizabethan england, and Alexa got me onto Patterson's Women's Murder Club: easy reads.
