Happy National Gardening Day!
Crepe myrtles. I only planted the purple magic. A white and fuchsia are nearby. I couldn't grow anything here, until the crepe myrtles began to pop up. Today, I'll be planting lilies, daylilies, and hostas. #nationalgardeningday #gardening #plants #nature #photography

We had wild thunderstorms all day yesterday. I love clouds and sunsets. And rain. Our electricity went out twice and the internet once. Rain is all I really wanted! #Texas #photography #sunset #storms #weather #nature #clouds

The Havanese brothers had to swap places several times to get lots of pets before I could go back to writing on the book. lol
