Good morning, all.

This morning my opening is in response to the beautiful opening post for August. The hanging basket in your post is gorgeous, Lori, and made me think about the 4 baskets I have hanging in a huge pine tree in our little backyard/courtyard.

And....after all the rain we had a few weeks ago the crepe myrtle bush beyond the fence has been literally bursting with blooms and was such a pretty backdrop for the geraniums (which, unfortunately were mostly between blooms), so thought I'd share the color with you. On the far left, where the gate is, a couple of bouganvilla plants sit on those two columns. I don't dig in flower beds or tend to rose bushes - if it's not ground cover or flowering trees, pots and hanging baskets are my only attempt at gardening.

Here's my newest friend, Lucy....

Thank you, Billie, for this wonderful opening!
Thank you for sharing your lovely flowers.

Indeed..What a desolate place it would be without flowers.
*Happy Tuesday To Amy's Place*
