worth the wait

a few weeks ago i took some pics in the back yard.  its fun watching the flowers open and everything grow

3 or 4 years ago my boys got me a grape vine for mothers day
FINALLY i noticed little bunches of small grapes
here they are the little cuties

  so now we wait.  its been sooooo hot and wet and humid here.  maybe they like that

and there is a huge pumpkin plant.  i watched the bees inside the bloom

they were pretty excited about it

a couple weeks later, and heres the pumpkin.
not ready yet....
but the grapes are

they are so beautiful and tasty AND worth the wait

and thats daddy cool.... just being a cat


pumpkin follow up in a later post

  5. I swear I smelled that pink lily when I opened your post. Our gardens give so much joy all season long. Our connections with our plants are very real......

  10. Es genial tener un patio con ese jardin lleno de naturaleza. Yo vivo en un apartamento en la ciudad :(, aunque en verano nos trasladamos a un apartamento en el mar. :)

  13. Lovely shots, Laura! Nature is amazing, isn't it? I always buy small plants cause the fun is to watch them grow.

  14. Daddy Cool has a great set of whiskers.
    Your pumpkin is growing nicely, and I like the pink lillies.

  15. Regarding your coment:
    A stupa is a kind of a shrine usually located in 'sacred' places. The one I've posted is particularly interesting because they used a stone to put it instead of being on the ground like all the others.

  16. I enjoyed a wee too much of the grapes myself the other night. I think it's the bubbles that give you the headache right?
