Previous photo: The 1950's - That's me between my mom and dad. On the right my 9 year older brother Bert. I still remember going to the photographer, it was in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Okay @"ByGrace" They look a little blurry to me but, can you tell me what the white ones on top and the purple on the bottom are called? The others hanging were 2 for twenty bucks today so, I thought I would put a splash of color in the yard :)

wow beautiful....you have a lovely garden...I am jealous. LOL
Mine is pathetic ...our winter has been so long and cold...nothing has grown.
So enjoy yours 'for me' too.
Just so you know, those flowers (whatever they are called, lol) grow wild. I do not a lick of weeding so, I can only give God the credit as, He IS my gardener.wow beautiful....you have a lovely garden...I am jealous. LOL

They look like hibiscus to me. We have a variety here that grow wild along the coast.Just so you know, those flowers (whatever they are called, lol) grow wild. I do not a lick of weeding so, I can only give God the credit as, He IS my gardener.

Thanks Quiet...come to think, I do believe one of my neighbors told me that's what they were! I am going to look it up now ♥
...You are correct! Thanks!

I have sent the photos to my friend Mary ( who comes every Friday to my house) she is very good at gardening and knows a lot about flowers...)
So I hope she can tell us...and I believe Quietthinker is right.... :)
They don't winter here...so here they are mostly just an annul .
I so wish we could grow honeysuckle here...I miss it so much, and blackberries too. Not here in Alberta.

What a fabulous photo Pat...well found.
I would love that on my wall. :)
It looks a wee bit like the old town in Hasting too...I love those small back streets . All the doors in the old town of Hasting are so tiny..even I would have to duck to go in ( and that is saying something, as I am now only five feet and shrinking! LOL )
You can see the big mouth bass in the pond.
the pond during winter.
From the back treeline, looking at the pole barn, the old corn crib there too. The house is in front of the pole-barn.From the pond to the back treeline. Looks like we already started the fire...smoke on right!
And, this is Sir Adam, sitting inches from me yet miffed that he has to be inside the pen

Oh gosh no Helen! I rented the upper of a farmhouse, but the family treated me so well that I raised my own rent 25 bucks a month, lol. It had 9 acres in the yard and we could always be found at the pool in the summer and by the pond cooking out, and fishing with a nice strong fire that lasted all night. Or, either at my place or my friends place in the lower atp. of the HUGE barn. She was one of my landlords daughters...they were all 5 raised there, was sad to see my landlords die and the farm (as they called it) fall into disrepair...only drove by it once and it broke my heart as, I was shocked at how it looked...it was a great 5 years there and I'll always cherish them ♥
