Hello and welcome to Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer. Please go by her blog and check out all the wonderful participants.
Here are a couple of random pictures from around the yard. Many of our plants are really struggling with the mid-summer heat....which is awful!
Thanks for stopping in and taking a look. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Struggling, or not, they look beautiful.
I know the plants are really having a hard time with the crazy weather all of you have been having down South, but your flowers are still looking quite pretty. I love all your garden ornaments~those are the favorites of mine in all gardens. I also notice the little doggie carrier in the first pic!! A nice little place to get respite from the heat!!
Have a wonderful week, Barb!! :-)

Your plants look good to me! Love the colors!
They look pretty darn nice to me, Barb. TTFN ~Marydon
I know what you mean about struggling! Even if we get torrential rain one day, it's so hot and humid the next that things are drooping by mid afternoon! But your flowers look beautiful so they seem to be dealing with the heat!

Your flower pictures are wonderful! You mentioned on my blog that you believe that we probably started blogging about the same time. I just noticed you posted the date when you started yout blog, and it was one week after I started mine...Look how far you have come...
You know so much more about blogging than I do, and your blog is so wonderful to look at, and so many people enjoy it...
Your flowers look beautiful. I've been wishing for some heat. It's been so cold her in New England. We have finally had a few warm, sunny days and it feels so good! Temps in the 80's. I know it's been so hot down south, I hope it cools down for you.
Yours are still looking pretty. Some of mine are pretty sad looking. Just came in from watering again.

Hi Barb.. They're still looking great.. I love the one in the first photo. Sadly I've lost all of the blooms on my day lilies to the lack of rain and heat here.. plus we're still under a watering ban. Have a great week!
Hugs,
Debbie
Your urns are really pretty and it looks like your little pet has quite the nice set up and view!
These are beautiful Barb! They don't look like they are suffering....Christine
Barb, I think these plants look great! They are all so pretty. Thanks for sharing them with us...
XO,

Pretty pinks in your garden...send some heat up here to Buffalo, NY, it's been a cool, wet summer so far. Happy OW.
Your flowers are still quite lovely and the urn is a great design!
Your plants look gorgeous, Barb! I know what you mean about the heat! Boy, is it ever hot!
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I see a lot of color there, Friend.
I hope it cools down for you soon.
The heat wears one down.
Great flowers and great urn.

Your flowers are so big and beautful!
We have not had much heat but all the early spring rain wrecked havoc with my tomatoes..they are very late.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday! It's my first one.
Hugs, Pat
Barb, What a beautiful post. I have signed up to follow your blog. I would like to come back and look at your blog. Please stop by and say hi. I would love for you to follow mine as well. Country Hugs and thanks again for sharing, Sherry
Hi!
Lovely flowers in your garden. Simply divine header.

Your's are doing much better than mine. I have two boganvillas right next to each other. One morning I went out and one had dropped ALL it's flowers but the leaves were fine and are still green. A few days later the other one just totally shriveled up flowers, leaves and all!
I'm thinking about going up to the attic and pulling out all of grandmas plastic flowers she had outside and putting them back!
Dawn
Oh you are so lucky to still have some color at least! Arizona is in the triple digits and above 110! My garden has just given up... I don't blame it.
That's BEAUTIFUL music playing in the background too!
Hope your week is going well...

Your garden looks great...love all the colors!! Have a great wednesday.
Beautiful pictures of youre yard.

Hi Barb, heat or not they looking very pretty still. Hope it cools for you soon.

Just visiting your blog and being greeted with that exquisitely beautiful header picture, brings a smile to my day. Your pots of flowers are lovely despite the excessive heat...how do you do that??? Wishing you a special day today.
Your flowers look great. Beautiful colors!
It's been a hundred & 5 all week here in Texas...your plants aren't the only ones struggling. :o(
Your penta looks good!
Beautiful plants! Thanks for sharing!
Just beautiful.
I am having trouble just keeping my pitiful flowers alive..so hot here in West Texas...and so dry.
Thanks for sharing your pretty ones with us.

So beautiful Barb. Gorgeous flowers.
Happy outdoor.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, the heat has been hard on plants. We've had about 5 inches of rain in the last 3 weeks or so which is great since we'd had none for about that long before. My Squash have just given up. I harvested enough over a couple of weeks to cook one time and that was it. The Cukes seem to be drought resistant. They are just so prolific and I only have 3 plants. 1 would have been enough since I'm not preserving them. I would rather have had the Zuchinni live but it bit the dust weeks ago.
Trying to stay cool,
Mama Bear
I came back by because I wanted to tell you how beautiful your header is. I love the yellow and white focus of the table setting, the napkins are just the right touch.
Mama Bear
Beautiful flowers.
Loved your home pictures.
Thanks for sharing
Have a wonderful day!
Darlene
Your yard looks so beautiful! We have not had any midsummer heat to contend with, here in Manitoba, but that means our plants are healthy, I guess. Thank you for coming by my blog and commenting. Be sure to come back some time and I will do the same here. Hugs, ~cindy s~
Just beautiful!!!

Barb, Your photos of the flowers are wonderful. Gardens here will not go down until early fall so we have more time to enjoy them. Have a wonderful day.
Hi Barb,
I know what heat can do , but yours still look so fresh and pretty. I don't know whose little house that is sitting among the flowers but they sure have some beautiful scenery surrounding them. Great post.
Thanks for sharing.
Sue
whew, i know what you mean, i am watering right now, its going to be 103 today, poor little plants. have a wonderful week
Your plants look really cared for Barb. They will survive hopefully. Thank you for your visit. Happy outdoor Wednesday
I was just saying to Sue at Luxe Lanai that I often envy her long season of hot weather in Fla. but I forget that the heat can be just as hard on the plants as the cold.
At least you have some color in the heat. It looks very lovely. Happy Outdoor Wednesday.
Ooh! Very pretty! You have a pretty garden, Ms Barb! :)
Blessings,
Sandra

Hi Barb,
You'd never know that your plants and flowers are struggling, they look gorgeous!!
But I'm not doing to well in this summer heat though! Today is supposed to 104 degrees here!! I'm wilting!, I'm wilting!
I hope you are staying cool, my sweet friend!
Sherri:)
I love pentas and impatients. Happy Outdoor Wednesday.
Beautiful flowers your impatients are. I just love the hot pinks. They look great in your planter.
Lovely flowers. You have a beautiful home.
Happy outdoor Wednesday Barb.
Barb, hot or not, your flowers look beautiful. ~~Rhonda
Hi Barb, your garden and flowers are so beautiful and abundant.
Thanks for your comments.
This is my main web site
I think your plants look lovely! I know what you mean about heat though. We just came through a mini-heat wave. Over 100 for three days and everything is just wilted. They're kind of pitiful when I go out to water.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!
