today in the garden...

The onions are flowering, and their white blossoms against the lavender's purple blossoms are amazing!



I spent some time in the garden today mowing down the walkways and weeding the beds. My plants and I are happy and content. I hope that you have a wonderful Independence Day Weekend!!

Wordless Wednesday - Breakfast Surprise

I'm glad that Jared saw the love before I continued cutting up the cantaloupe. :)



It was either the way the cantaloupe formed, or I did it as I scraped the seeds, but either way, it was a fun surprise.

Honey Bees

I have seen so many honey bees this year, and I'm so excited about it!

They have been on the lilacs



and dandelions.



And today I discovered them on the Staghorn Sumac Tree's blossoms.



I was so excited that the detail was so clear on this pic that I zoomed in again on one of the little bees.



I've never seen the blossom this detailed. I didn't even realize that each little pod had all of these little flowers on it.

My camera rarely can get shots like this, which is why I am saving up for a Canon Rebel. And a macro lens. :) The world looks so much better up close, I think.

And may these little honey bees love pollinating my garden this year, and have many, many years of happiness. :)
