Memorial Day

God Bless those who paid the ultimate price for the freedom and blessings of this country.

Thank you.

A symbol of the freedom of this great country.
I began this beautiful day with breakfast on the front porch. The flag in the above picture was hanging proudly at our neighbor's house across the street reminding me why I was able to enjoy this early morning breakfast and a day off from work.

From there I decided to stroll through the yard photographing all of my husband's hard work. This little cherub hides amongst the Hawthorne bushes.

Around the bushes a ferocious garden gator awaits:)

Lots of Lantanna this year. I love these bold orange, red, and gold Lantanna flowers.

Purple flower plant thing (I'm not the gardener-I'm just the photographer so these are purple flower plants).

More Lantanna, this time in soft pastel colors.

And more Lantanna!

I follow the path further and admire all of dear hubby's hard work.

Hydrangea bushes, elephant ears, and a respite for the feathered visitors.

This is all so enjoyable and then...

I round the corner and YIKES!!!

Looks like there is still some work to be done. I'll post more pictures once he finishes this section of the gardens.
