I love my Rose of Sharon - and so do the bees!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So I'll let these pictures speak for themselves. We've had these in our yard for many years and they look more like trees than bushes.
I hope you enjoy the pics.
Do you have Rose of Sharon in your yard?
PS The hummers also love them!
Hi everyone.
We've had a busy summer and I've been putting writing on my blogs on the back burner. But, I do go out and visit other blogs when I have the time.
First off, my husband had total knee replacement surgery on September 2. We knew it was going to be painful afterwards, but . . .
It has been almost 4 weeks, and the pain and the swelling are still there. Otherwise things are getting back to normal around the house.
We haven't gone anywhere, except for a quick and short trip to our favorite state park, Pipestem.

As with every summer, it starts with a rainy season and then a long hot drought and now fall seems to have arrived.
I've been watching and taking pictures of the critters outside all summer - chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, deer, birds (especially the charming hummingbirds).
Since I had written a picture book manuscript around 3 years ago about hummingbirds, I decided to add my pictures of the hummers to the words and create a picture book.
It is now on Amazon and I also have copies.
Hope all of you have had a nice, safe and healthy summer -- now let autumn begin!
