Red, White and Blue!

Barely 5am, but, it's another early rise and shine
A special time of peace and quiet
For a daily stroll through this garden of mine




Heavy scent of flowers in the morning air
Entices more than our sense of smell
They pull on heartstrings with tender loving care



Very evident, this combination: red, white, and blue
Calling out to me, everywhere I turn
'specially in this bright bouquet...just for you ;)

Yes, a special day, we can't deny
So shout it loud
"Hurray for Freedom!" on this 4th of July!

Have a wonderful Holiday!

  1. Beautiful Lynn! Everything looks so full and lush! What a thrill it would be to come and be able to 'really' stroll through your gardens. The new Daylilies I got last summer are getting ready to bloom and now I always think of you when I see them since you're a Daylily collector.

  2. why do the daisies look like they're ganging up on the lily?
    "an angry mob of daisies surrounded the lily, it was reported that taunts of she loves us, she loves you not could be heard"...

    Really beautiful Lynn, you have a gift!

  8. Thank you, Sylvia and Tatyana!

    Ginny, I was just thinking of you and here you are visiting me! I'm losing alot of blooms in this awful heatwave...hopefully things will bounce back when you come visit.

    I did, Rosey. Hope you did, too! Thanks for your visit ;)

  10. Your red, whites and blues are awesome! And a Happy 4th to you too!

    P.S. Your blog keeps trying to translate itself into Africaans. I had to click cancel to stop it and each time when I refreshed it it came back to English but then tried to translate again.
