Happy Birthday to the United States Of America...my home, sweet home.
I'm proud to be an American!
And I'm proud to be an Australian too (although no longer a citizen)...land of my birth.
I hope all my blog friends in the U.S.A. had a happy Fourth Of July!
I thought red, white, and blue flowers might be appropriate to celebrate the birthday of our nation.
Red dinnerplate dahlia...yet to be planted.
We're trying to get a new garden ready for planting, but the continuous rain has foiled our best laid plans..over and over! We made some progress on Saturday, and I just may get the planting done tomorrow if all goes well.
White million bell petunias. I love these dainty flowers. These are planted in a window box with a geranium, regular petunias, and white alyssum (Sweet Alice..to remind me of my dear friend).
And blue larkspur (delphinium ajacis). I call it butterfly delphinium. I had it years ago but haven't had it recently until now. This was part of a mix of seeds I planted last year. It's very tall, and the color is so vibrant...really beautiful.
Plus a touch of calico! From the left are Maddy, Annabelle and Jasmine, having a little rest after a bit of play....trying to chew poor, patient Mom's ear, paws and tail.
Madelaine (Maddy) being as cute as can be :)
Dinner time! Isabelle is a good mother!
May God bless our troops who put themselves in harm's way to keep our country safe and protect our freedoms.

Kerri, have you got my last mail about rose-breader Schultheis?
Sigrun
the red, white and blue are indeed lovely. thanks
Hurray for the red, white and blue!
Loved all your colors!
Hope you had a great 4th...
Those calico kittens are growing so fast!
Will they become part of your cat family or are you trying to find them homes???
Sue, we're trying to find homes for them. It's going to be very hard to part with them, but I hope someone will give them a good home and lots of love. We have 3 more in the barn who are only about 3weeks old. Two of them are calicos as well!
Since you have named the kittens that must mean that you are keeping all of them...I know you say you are looking for a good home for them...but will you be able to part with such cute cuddly furry little kittens as these. They're so cute!
Your red, white and blue flowers are very appropriately pretty. Hope your 4th of July was celebrated with the ones you love.
Hugs,
Sandy :)
