White Squirrels and A Blue/Pink Hydrangea

image

This hydrangea is right beside my back door, it’s protected by the house on the north side and it sure wants to keep on blooming this year…these blooms are small but still beautiful…and they’re all on the same bush. See the little visitor in the bottom right shot.

I caught a few shots of  a couple of our white squirrels, they’re exceptionally hard to get good photos of. I was using a long distance lens so the close up is a bit blurry.

 

I’m editing this post to answer some questions about our white squirrels. We have many on our property and in our neighborhood. They are not common in the town where we live. A small neighboring town has them but that’s about it. They are a bit smaller than the ordinary brown or grey squirrels but they don’t seen to mind. I love to watch them so much and have had a lot of trouble capturing good photos of them. They play with the ordinary brown squirrels and we see adults and babies, they have their nests high in our trees. I’m always vigilant about keeping them safe and have had to make many little boys with their b b guns run. I just can’t stand for them to be injured or killed. I’m probably the mean ole lady in the brick house!!!

Sally and Mary’s blogs are great places to visit today!!!

image The reason she is always so shaggy is because she hates being groomed!!! We fight and we usually have a half clipped dog for a week or so until I get the nerve up to clip the other half.

Tootsie, we still have about the same green stuff going on, since we haven’t had a hard freeze yet.

Mandevilla and Potato vine are still doing pretty well because they are right up against the southern brick wall of our house.

Jackie still has geraniums and ferns doing well on her porch.

This old concrete pot is in the yard, unprotected, and still going strong.

Swingin’ and Drinkin’ Iced Tea on The Front Porch…

 

image

Our new friend from Poland, Mark, enjoying the feeling of a good ole Southern front porch…where livin’ just can’t get any better…Mark is a Missionary and was introduced to some good ole’ Southern dishes this weekend, fried catfish, hush puppies, french fries, country ham and he liked the catfish best.

image

My friend Jackie’s century old home and a few of her lights and a stained glass window…I just love this magnificent porch!!!

Let’s join Mary, over at Dear Little Red House, while we enjoy swinging and drinking iced tea (since the temperature here today is 75 degrees)…

A Guest From Poland

We had a wonderful time tonight at the home of our friends, Jackie and Lou…

I’ve been experimenting with some different settings on my camera so not all of my photos are good…sorry…it’s that learning curve thingy.

image

The company was a wonderful mix of some truly wonderful people…one of those special times that just happened to work out beautifully…

image

Our hostess, my best friend Jackie cooked a gourmet meal that we ate every bite of…

image

A delightful couple who are new friends fit right in perfectly…

image

Paul, a good sport to take all of the teasing from us, enjoyed Jackie’s meal.

image This young man is a missionary from Poland and was a wonderfully personable addition to our little party. We learned so much from him about how God is changing his life as well as those he is ministering to. Funny, articulate and devoted is how I would describe his personality.

image

After dinner conversation with our host, Lou was stimulating and fun.

image

This is a shot of the dining room of this beautiful century old home that has been renovated by my friends. This is Jackie’s childhood home.

image

Look at the chandelier that was above our dining room table…ooohhh…isn’t it beautiful!!!

image

Michael, has anyone noticed his taste in shirts???

image

This man is a great representative for the country of Poland.

I’ll be posting more photos of this lovely home in the future because it is such a special home.
