July 5th

Nobody can see this flower bed in our backyard.  On one side is the 6 foot fence and on the other side is our giant concrete tornado shelter.

I think we grew green beans in it a few years ago.  

This year I planted zinnia seeds,  and for good measure,  I added some Oklahoma Wildflower seeds I picked up free from our local library,  maybe 2 years ago.  

The zinnias grew and the wildflower seeds really showed out!  

I’m not sure these are actually wildflowers though,  I’ve lived in Oklahoma since 1991 and none of these are things I see growing wild.  

But whatever they,  they are pretty!

there are wild sunflowers growing along roads and in rural areas but they are much smaller. 

Google lens says this blue is Borage 


Zinnias in a different bed.  

our neighbors can’t see them but the bees and butterflies can.  

And would you believe there is a Robin sitting on the nest again?  

They usually take a few weeks to lay and hatch their eggs.  

they are little messy but we enjoy watching them.  

Hope you all are having a good weekend

July 4 The United States of America’s Independence Day

We will be celebrating at home.  I think my husband will grill some steaks to eat today and hamburgers to eat tomorrow.  

We have a pretty good view of our town’s fireworks show from our backyard.  

Our visiting dog doesn’t get crazy during fireworks but last year she was nervous so we will stay close to her too.  

Happy Birthday USA ❤️🇺🇸💙
