Bringing the Outside In

Darlene, next door, came by early (early for the riversorry folk, anyway) and we sat and talked and caught up a little. After she left, I sat on the dock and spied this brown thrasher just singing the most beautiful song. There must be a nest about because every time Bella comes out of the porch, two of them come as close to the screen as they can (similar to mocking birds) and just squawk at her. She swishes her tail as if to say "like I'm afraid of you." Silly girl.

Some moss has fallen onto the dragonfly. Pretty.

Dar pointed out the beautiful hydrangea in bloom and a sweet dragonfly resting on one of the blooms. (I didn't have the camera at that time--boo hiss.)

I went out a little later and cut some for the house.

This doesn't even look real, does it?

Beautiful hues.

Flowers always make a house a home.

I'm trying to catch up on visiting and blogging today!
