Hardy!

Backyard Beauty!









This plant is 'hardy' and according the dictionary that means capable of withstanding adverse conditions! We have had 1 light freeze and many frosty mornings so I was surprised to find our hibiscus shrub blooming in the backyard. Definitely hardy! May I be as hardy as my hibiscus. May I continue to bloom and grow despite the conditions that I face. May you be hardy too!

Gracious! It is Friday!

Feeding on Hibiscus!









I can't believe that it is Friday already and that I have been silent all week long! It isn't that my week has been boring because it has really been non-stop & I have been blessed all week long! In my previous post I was thrilled by the evidence of Fall everywhere. We have had crisp, cold temperatures at night and moderate temperatures during the day. Great weather for garage sales, soccer & football, tail-gating, and of course, the upcoming hunting season. But, as wonderful as the changing leaves and the sweaters have been, I am equally amazed that blossoms continue to appear where there should be no blossoms at all. This beautiful red Hibiscus is in our backyard. I was fascinated to find the shrub covered in red blooms and yellow butterflies. I took many pictures but this was the only one that was worthy of posting. Feeding on Hibiscus seems like a nice past-time on a beautiful Fall day!

Hope you are feasting on the beauty of the Lord!!!
