Garden Happiness

I have been enjoying a much needed Saturday at home. I woke up and looked out my den window to see a BEAUTIFUL row of Okra blooms and grabbed the camera to try to capture them. The flower on an okra plant is one of the most gorgeous blooms that I have ever seen and to have a row of them to greet my eyes this morning was a true gift from nature. I continued my walk around the yard and found butterflies feeding on the lantana by the light post and the start to the blooms on the Confederate rose bush. The picture I took was of two blooms side by side - it looks like a full chiffon skirt. BEAUTIFUL. Scott has been reworking the garden a bit and we have planted collards and onion sets. While out there I decided to go ahead and pick the remaining green tomatoes to make some relish. I also am sharing a couple pictures taken earlier in the month of our sweet potato harvest and our two spoiled wretches - I mean cats (Nick and Tesla).
