Outdoor Wednesday ~ My Yard June 30th

For the next several weeks I’m in the state of Washington so my Outdoor Wednesday Posts will be from the Western Washington area.

Susan at A Southern DayDreamer is our kind hostess for this weekly event. Click over to her blog to see Outdoor Posts from around the world.

I took a walk around the yard today to see what might be blooming. My hydrangeas are just getting some color.

I was happy to see my Lavender survived the dry weather the Seattle area has been experiencing seeing how my tenants (two of my adult children) don’t consider watering part of their routine upkeep of the house.

The wild rose bush is flourishing and we have a very few pears growing on the Pear tree and a good amount of blueberries plumping up.

I’m still getting my bearings here in the Northwest. I’m not up to my usual bloggy speed. We are replacing my old double oven this week and I’m scrambling to get things in order for our July 4th Barbecue. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods and if you are in the United States enjoy the 4th!

Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

Everything is so bright and beautiful!

Your mosaics are just lovely. I love hydrangeas so I had a favorite without even thinking. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the weekend. Blessings…Mary

Ellen, gorgeous mosaics! Love how you got the hydrangeas before really blooming. I have a bush that has bloomed and on it’s way out already. Hate to see it go. They are so pretty.

Love it! Can’t wait to get back up to WA! See you on the Fourth!

Your yard is giving beautiful blooms for you to enjoy 🙂 I’m sure they must smell lovely too. And what a sweet thought to think that you’ll be able to harvest your own pears and blackberries.

Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

Gorgeous Outdoor Wednesday!!

You reminded me that I must check the blueberries at our favorite picking spot and see if they are ready.

Have a happy time with your family.
