What's Current In our Yard # 1

 Sunday AM blooms

 Our two new moss rose, one is orange and one is yellow. Still in their containers from Home Depot

 OOPS! what's this one?

Oh, that's The keeper of the POOL  and below is his Mango tree in the bucket garden, planted from a seed.


MadSnapper Trivia: Little know facts about ME
In 1984 I drove an 18 Wheeler for J.B. Hunt Trucking and put 75,000 miles on a brand new cab over truck touching all but 7 of the states.

  3. I would LOVE to drive an 18 wheeler!!!!! Anywhere, anytime.

    I'm impressed that you have a "pool boy". I don't even have a pool.

  5. You have a beautiful bloomin' yard, love the moss rose.

    The pool keeper picture is a good one too!!! Love how you captured the ???memosa limb? and hubby is softened in the back. BOY, if I had that pool I would be doing laps in it several times a day. I love the water.

  7. A beautiful and colorful way to start the day. Thanks for shopping at Home Depot so they can keep paying me. Yes, I work there two days a week. I was totally surprised that you drove an 18 wheeler. . . Why only one year?

  12. Your blooms in your yard are so pretty! You have a pool and a pool boy. :) I would love a pool! We have two in the community, but it's not quite the same. You are full of surprises Sandra! Hubby is familiar with that kind of truck. I can't imagine even attempting that! You go girl!

  13. That is a part of your life that I don't know, and I imagine would make for some interesting posts. These roses are beautiful, I love the colors, and I would not have known they are roses, what kind? Maybe knock-out roses or tea roses? The blue flowers are beautiful!!! Are they wild morning glories? Probably not, you grow things down there that I have never seen before!

  22. Whoa! Was already in awe of your blossoms, especially the bougainvillea. But I am even more in awe of anyone who can drive an 18-wheeler rig! And aren't you lucky to have dear hubby as pool maintenance service. Gave me a chuckle that dear hubby is one of your Sunday a.m. blooms!

  23. I had no idea that you drove an 18 wheeler! That is WILD! I do good to drive my F150! lol

    Beautiful flowers around your house Sandra! We just have the wild blooms from God going on at our house right now. Too early to plant. Even though it is tempting because it's so warm.

  27. Now...doesn't he look like the nicest pool boy you ever saw? He must be a keeper!!!! Do you use the pool everyday. We have one but our time is limited to just June through September. But I love the water so it is an everyday occurance. I love the mango tree that you started from a seed. I love your yard...but what I love the most is that you
    always have something growing that is different. Have you ever grown orchids?
