Hi angel friends! :) my family and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a great day! :) We're blossoming into the new week, and new month of August :) wow! :) August is here already!!! :) The gardening season is in full swing, and we're enjoying a great start to the new week :) There's lots of great things going on, and many special summer time memories being made :) yesterday evening, while i was here in my computer room, i heard a bird outside here, and looked out my window, it was a golden finch!!! :) it had landed on top of our tall mammoth sunflower! :) They are beautiful birds :) the golden finches visit us every summer :) they love to enjoy some sunflower seeds from our garden :) some of the sunflowers we grow, produce black sunflower seeds, which are one of the favorite treats, for golden finches and red cardinals :) i was so happy to see the golden finch yesterday :) i hope they land on top of the sunflower again soon, i'd love to take a picture of that awesome nature sight! :) 

Overnight, we recieved a wonderful replenishing rainfall :) it was so nice to wake up to see the plants all replenished, and refreshed, for a brand new month of growing in the gardens :) i gathered up a nice big bowl of goodies this morning, and went outside into our yard and gardens, to check our plants, and to feed our nature animal friends :) we have lots and lots of beautiful purple and pink morning glory flowers blossoming :) The vines of the plants have grown amongst the sunflowers, and other plants, it's so neat, and a pure joy to see, all of the plants doing so well, and summer time flower blossoms :) It's a beautiful time in the season :) We have our snowball bush in full bloom, and we have another tall mammoth sunflower in our front yard garden that's blossoming :) 

It's really amazing, when a sunflower gets ready to blossom :) you can see the petals in the blossom, and within days, the sunflower opens up, and is smiling at us all, and the summer sun :) It's really incredible, the journey a sunflower has :) many of our sunflowers this year, began their journey's in our garden greenhouses :) i remember it like it was yesterday, planting the sunflower seeds, seeing lots of sprouts, and eventually transplanted the sunflowers into our gardens :) they've grown so much now :) our tallest sunflower so far this season, is 7 feet, 8 inches tall :) we have lots more sunflowers growing, and flourishing so nicely :) 

It's awesome, beginning to pick some string beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes :) There's lots of blossoms on the plants :) i love looking for the pumpkins, and gourds, as they begin to grow :) It's gonna be so neat, if we could have some nice pumpkins and gourds to pick from our garden, for the fall/halloween season :) There's so much more, to look forward too this season. :) over by our driveway, garden area, we have lots of morning glory flowers blossoming in this area, and lots of string beans plants that are growing amongst the garden fence :) It's so neat to see the morning glorys, and them blossoming every morning now :) i'm so pumped up and excited! :) Summer time nature joys :) i love bringing you all with me in our garden, with my writings, pictures i've been able to upload as the background on my page, and also my videos too :) i've been making some video tours of our garden :) i'll include one of the video links here in my journal :)
