August in Bloom

Mom's crepe myrtle is beautiful this year.

I guess this is a lily of some sort.  Mom has them in planted in 2 places.  The ones at the side of the house bloomed once and haven't bloomed again but these in the front have bloomed all summer.

Daddy loved moss roses so I always plant some.

I don't know what these light purple flowers are but they're pretty.  They're planted in a container out by the shed.
I can see this flower bed from the kitchen window.  We just sprinkled some packets of flower seeds in the bed and it's been so pretty all summer.

This strawberry planter belonged to my mother-in-law.  We meant to plant strawberries in it but we never did.  Phillip brought this petunia home one day and planted it there and it thrived.  It's part of my view from the kitchen as well.

We planted marigolds in the vegetable beds this year.  If you look closely you can see a tomato on the vine.

This little sun flower sprang up in one of the tomato beds.  The poor little fellow is trying his hardest to bloom.

Lucy is really proud of the flowers she "planted" in the sand box.  When she got finished, she said, "Ta Da!"  She was proud of her garden.
