A trip to Colliding Rivers & more flowers in the Garden

View of Colliding Rivers from standing Bridge in Glide Oregon. It is more active in Winter and less so right now. But it was pretty.

Fair and I took a trip back out to the cute little Nursery Con and I went to a couple weeks or so ago. She had never been there and it isn't easy to find from the HWY. We just went to look but we did buy. We got something called Croscosmia. It has light orange freesia like Flowers on it. It will spread which is what both of us wanted. We wanted the Lucifer color but he didn't have any. I fact he ordered it and got the light orange in. I got a hanging basket plant which I forgot to photograph so I will have to post it another time. it is a flowering Oregano plant. has green and purple flowers on it. very subtle. smell lovely too.

She decided to take me to see Colliding rivers since I had never seen it. It wasn't a very far drive from where we were. The sign

What it tells about it.
This River is called the North Umpqua once it all comes into this basin and leaves. This goes thru the northern part of our Town. We have TWO rivers that run thru out Town. this one is cold and the one that runs by and around us is warmer.

I walked around taking photos. It was so pretty and I love the sound of running water.

Another view

One off to the left. We walked thru a little path of greens to get this angle.

These wild Sweet peas were all over.

Close up of them

This is from Fairs yard. I love these flowers. Its such an old fashion plant.

She has a full bush of them.

A wild sunflower seed sprouted and grew around her Bird feeder.

This is from my Hydrangea bush. I love the blue in the center.

I have been having problems with my computer lately.

I tired and tried to post something yesterday but it would let me. my computer on AOL kept freezing on me. I couldn't even comment much. so please forgive me for slacking off lately.

I have been in the garden more and walking more and enjoying summer but I am also fighting my computer.

We had a nice thunder shower yesterday and it watered everything nicely. We got out in the yard and did a lot of dead heading and trimming back certain things like Blackberries that try to take over. we left a few so Con could have some berries to eat. We hand just finished planting a couple things we had waiting to be planted, when all of a sudden we heard a loud clap of thunder and it let go and poured. Good timing I would say.

Today it is a perfect day.

We even got out and gave Annie a bath.

oops I said a nasty word.
LOL.

She didn't like it but she sure is going to smell better, that is until she finds something nasty to roll in.

And you can bet on it being soon.

:O
Oops. I forgot a couple pix I posted.

below is my view from my Kitchen window right now.

I didn't know that Roses could get so tall.

This bush rallied around and bloomed pretty quick right after the first bloom of spring. I am still l waiting on the others.
