I have wanted to sit down and write a little for quite some time but I must admit...I do not like being inside the house much in the summer months. When I am not running the kids and their friends back and forth to summer band practice...I am usually out and about with my camera in hand hoping to capture something unusual or beautiful. If I am really lucky...something unusually beautiful.Since I have written very little this summer...I feel like I should rewind and pick up where I left off. I've been sitting here thinking ...how am I going to write this entire summer in one post? Then I remembered...I don't have to write it all in one post.
It is a stormy day here in S.E. Texas. Actually...it blew in rather suddenly and just a bit violently around 1:30 this afternoon. I love stormy weather...except when I have to drive in it. Today I was out in the worst of it.Walking around in my backyard...basking in the calm after the storm makes it all worthwhile.
Photo's: Pink Angel Trumpet. I planted it almost 4 years ago and until this summer...it refused to bloom. I originally had it in a pot out on the deck as advised by a local nursery. Last fall I was tired of messing with it. It looked awful...and had not once bloomed. I told my husband...lets put it in the ground...and if it comes back next summer great....if not then oh well! Last winter was one of the coldest winters we have had in years...and by spring the angel trumpet looked GONE! We cut it to the ground...and much to my surprise...it came back and bloomed! Another surprise...all that time I thought it was a white angel trumpet....it is pink and smells heavenly!
