Japanese Honeysuckle

So lovely and fragrant. It's impossible to believe that this innocent vine could be an unwelcome trespasser in one's garden. I refuse to believe it and encourage it's growth. However, this summer I am finding it is getting around! I think it would be the perfect vine to grow on my pergola. Now I just need a pergola.

Black and White textures

Just felt like shooting in black and white.

A new corner

Golden mound juniper

Rosy something

Impatiens

Golden Privet

and rocks found in a corn field a few springs before

Tiger lilies - these were here when we got here, but they have doubled for the last 3 years.

Parthenocissus Quinquefolia

Virginia Creeper

Vitaceae (Grape family)

I love creepers

First day of summer

I've had a few suggestions for ways we can celebrate the first day of summer. We'll see how the day unfolds. What are your plans for this beautiful day?

Fun

We spent the afternoon and evening at Christine's, the children exploring outside with wagon rides, climbing trees and playing with the little critters. What a glorious day! 

Red

Delicious fresh picked and fresh from the market strawberries say summer is here!

My poor front porch. The badly chipping paint will be repainted this summer, but sadly will be red no more.

cheery red geraniums

blushing barberry bush

brick turned flag (ish)

All right my lovelies. Today's color challenge is red. Accept the challenge by posting a comment!

Now and then

Annabelle - June 17, 2007   Father's Day - 3 months old

Annabelle -  June 15, 2008  Father's Day - almost 15 months old

Her dress was given by my dear friend Lisa and I am tickled that she gets to wear it again this summer!

Details of a happy day

Here Noah waits for his cousins. He cannot wait to show them something new in Papa's garden.

Four generations: my brother John age 32, my Grandpa John age 91, my Dad age 58 and my son Noah age 6 1/2. Christine did a great job editing this picture. (I hope you don't mind I grabbed it from your post!)

Noah reads his card to Grandpa.

A couple of pieces of hail from the storm that passed through in the late afternoon.

My love's family from left to right: his sister Christine, Dad, brother Matt and Josh.

Daddy

My but you've become a great man! Happy Father's day My Love.

My Dad

Love you Daddy!

Flag Day

How to observe Flag Day: The week of June 14 is designated as National Flag . During the week, the President will issue a proclamation urging U.S. citizens to fly the American flag for the duration of week. The flag should also be displayed on all government buildings. Some organizations hold parades and events in celebration of America's national flag and all that it represents.

I think we'll have a parade.

Too cute not to post

Her new teeth make her look so much older!
