Both of these flowers are in our herb and flower garden that we planted during our COVID-10 isolation. The yellow rose, pictured in yesterday’s post, has opened up and, as promised, is shining. We wanted to also share an image of this blue petunia.

Another rose getting ready to shine
This rose bud is blooming on one of the rose bushes that we planted in our herb and flower garden during our COVID-19 isolation this spring/summer. This new bush has given us several pretty bloom events this summer.
Another rose bloomed
This pretty rose bloom was gracious enough to add some beauty to our front yard!
Got three for you
1st photo taken
2nd photo taken
3rd photo taken
I missed the rose in the first photo blooming yesterday. So out for pictures I go, and there to my delight is another bud starting to bloom (second photo). And then while taking the second photo low and behold I spotted yet another bud hiding under the rose in bloom. Three roses to share with you all.
Pictures from out front
That’s mint to the left of the hosta
Just a couple of pictures from out front of the house. The hosta has seen a spurt of growth in the past few days. That is mint to the left of the hosta. The rose has bloomed nicely.
Rose in bloom near a crime scene
A pretty bloom
Well, maybe not a crime scene, however some dastardly critter (most probably a rabbit) has stolen one of the two remaining rose buds from this rose bush. I suspect that the perpetrator of the rose bud theft is also responsible for the wanton destruction of a couple of our sweet corn seedlings in the garden.
First rose bud beginning to bloom
This morning the first rose bud was opening up a bit. You can see there are two more in the wings so we’ll have three pretty soon.
A couple more photos from out front
In the front of Roadtirement’s “home base” in central Indiana we have a mulched strip on either side of the front door. Here’s a couple of images:
This is a new rose bush that we planted about a week ago. The first rose bud is showing some color. There are two more buds developing to the right of the big one.
There are lots of little mushrooms showing up in the mulch beds. The remnants of maple tree whirligig flying seeds are also in view, along with some unidentified green sprouts of some kind.
Some more things spotted in the yard
Here’s some more images of some plants around the yard. We did get a nice thunderstorm this afternoon. I won’t have to water anything today.
We decided to use both sink compartments for flower plantings. We’ll get another something for a bird bath. Since we have put up the bird feeder our backyard has become very popular with the neighborhood avian population.
The rose bush is new, just got it planted a few days ago. We were surprised and happy to see the new bloom at the peak of the bush! Roses are so pretty…
