2nd to last picture looks like a mimosa tree bloom to me. It is one of my favorite trees. I'm not sure about the last picture. I would guess a wisteria but I'm not sure.

The 2 to last is a Mimosa tree bloom but the last isn't a wisteria it's a shrub that starts with a Du..... can't remember. The butterflies and hummers love it so I bought 2 more small ones from Walmart and planted them. Thanks for the comments, Charbel

That's it Sage. The Butterflies and Hummers love these shrubs and they bloom really well. As of now I have 4 in my backyard, 2 I bought a couple of years ago and the 2 I just bought a couple of weeks ago. They make really pretty pictures with the butterflies or hummers. Off subject now but how are you doing, Sage? Nice to hear from you.

I'm doing OK. No real changes. I am still standing everyday and try to take a step now and then, but that isn't something I want to do a lot of without someone with me. I'm just taking it one day at a time and one step at a time. I feel stronger and much better since I've been home. I know all the prayers are helping and still appreciate any that anyone wants to include me in.
WDMD, I used to see one several blocks down the street from me but I don't know if it is still there or not. I have always loved mimosa trees. I know you used to could get them from flower nurseries. I don't know if you still can or not.

My Mimosa came from my parents place...it was just a couple of inches tall when I planted it. Surprised me it survived. I do have a couple more coming up from the seeds that fall. Not sure if you can buy them at Nurseries but if you know someone who was a Tree I'm sure you can find one sprouting up. I know you can here at my place.

I like the bird bath also. I just added that one yesterday right after I had taken the photo through my patio door glass. Was surprised out how well it turned out. The blue jay was really getting after his bath it was cute to watch....kindda feel like a peeping Tom, looking out instead of in.

I can relate to the blue jay pic...I have several of them who just wait for me to fill up the birdbath and then they come in to bathe with water going everywhere!!! They are soooo much fun to watch!!

that cat is a pain in the a$$. Lays right by the back door so a person can step on it and trip. It thinks it is suppose to walk in front of you at half speed. What's with that-----is it the point man looking for trouble? That cat would not go more than 25 feet from the feed bowl unless a person was out side for to pester. well if you'd be nicer and maybe lean oer and pet the girl thingy you wouldn't have so many problems with it ;D
