Sunny Sunday

Clear Blue Skies (and an afternoon moon!)

Sunday lived up to its name!  It was definitely sunny!  The temperature was quite mild (68F) in the late afternoon when I went outside to check on the front garden.


Flowers on the Rosemary Bush

The rosemary bush in the front had lots of flowers and the bees were loving it.


This one bee and I played "Hide and Seek"

"Psst!  I'm down here at the bottom of the picture"



"Now I'm at the top"



"Spot me if you can!"



"You found me!"


I decided to leave it to enjoy its nectar and withdraw myself and my cell phone before it decided it has had enough of being photographed and stung me!  

Besides, there were other things to check out in the garden:

The Euryops Bushes

The euryops bushes are flowering and there were bees visiting them, too, but, I didn't play hide and seed with them.  

The Lantanas are flowering too

The Jade plants are starting to flower:

Nearby, the Aeoniums are flourishing:

This aeonium is starting to form an inflorescence:

There are also new Osteospermum seedlings coming up just about everywhere one looks:

And of course, no visit to the garden is complete without a peek or two of the stumpery:

It is definitely getting incorporated into the landscape and the succulents border:

It's what I'd envisioned all along.  The border needs a little tidying up, but, that can wait until M is back from his holiday break.  

On Sunday, one of daughter's friends came for a crochet afternoon.  I made some egg salad and we all enjoyed some egg salad sandwiches and shortbread cookies.  Later, daughter did her laundry and I caught up on my blog reading.  We both had leftovers for dinner.

On Sunday, I am grateful for:
- Another sunny day
- The garden is growing well
- Daughter had a fun afternoon with her friend
- Working appliances
- A relaxing day

Today's joyful activities included being out in the garden and playing "hide and seek" with a bee!  LOL.

How was your Sunday?  What are your plans for the week ahead?
