Rose of Sharon and Sunshine

August 3, 2020 7:27am CST

Woke up to sunshine and 65 degrees. What a nice morning it has been. Coffee in the screen room and the cats enjoyed the cool weather as well. Only a few birds to see. Walked around to the front yard and snapped a photo of my Rose of Sharon bushes. These flowers are in the Hibiscus family. They are still blooming and the bees are visiting. Hoping the rest of the week is like today. Enjoy the moments everyone.

@DocAndersen Ha! Did not need camo as most of the birds are gone. They are off teaching the young the ways of bird life.

@LadyDuck I prefer the white ones with the pink I have too. The blooms are actually more white that the photo shows. The sunlight really made this photo bright.

Wow, look at all the blooms on those bushes! So beautiful. And glad to hear the bees are out and busy. I always worry about the health of our nation's bee population. Thankfully, bees are very abundant around here. Enjoy your coffee and that nice cool and sunny day! It's cloudy here, due to the tropical storm passing by out in the Atlantic Ocean, but we don't have any rain forecast until later this afternoon. Looks like we'll get a few passing bands of showers later, but nothing horrible.

These are the three I talk about often. About seven feet tall now except the middle one is a little shorter. I always welcome the bees.

The rain that came days ago has brought us lower temperatures today. It is lovely that your Rose of Sharon bushes are blooming and I am sure they seem adorable. I am glad the cats are happy. I hope that the rest of the week goes for you.
