Thank you @ace108 for hosting #beautifulsunday and thank you @c0ff33a for hosting #SublimeSunday.
It's always a wonderful weekend when the kids and grandkids are here! Everyone brings food and we have a whole array of delicious things to eat. This weekend was focused on planting flowers in the pots on the deck and getting the back porch cleaned up and ready to use this summer.
The hummingbirds have been looking over the flowers and I'm going to be enjoying taking my morning cup of tea out on the deck!

How is the first flower called? We have a farmer here who sell them and they come in so many colors and even different forms. They are beautiful but anytime I buy them there are large green worms sitting in the blossom that I can only see after a couple of days and then feel sorry for them because I know that they will die there. So I stopped buying them..
I only see a part of your deck but it looks lovely. I can imagine you sitting there in the afternoon with a good book and a cup of whatever you like ;)
Happy Wednesday my dear friend!
That first flower is a dahlia and you are right, they come in many colors and forms. You are so kind to be considerate of the green worms!
I will be happy, and so will the flowers if it would quit raining and the sun would come out!
Thanks, dear Pix!

Beautiful photos. Happy Sunday
Thanks, Jerry!
All these flowers are so beautiful and I know that they make you so happy. It's good when everyone is at home💕
It is so much fun to have them here! And the flowers make everything so colorful when I look out the window!
I know you love having them at home and it should be great to see through the window and have lots of flowers🌼❤
I hope you get some nice flowers from your plant.
I hope so, too! I love having a flower garden in pots on my deck where it is easy for me to take care of them.
What beautiful flowers !
I so love this time of year !
Oh, me too! I have always loved gardening and now that I am no longer able, it is so nice to have things in pots on my deck that I am able to easily take care of.
I have a great deck-like back porch. I have been pondering what I can do that will allow me to have plants out there. It gets way too much afternoon sun and would be hard on many plants. I need to do some things that will create some shade or partial shade.
For the past 20 years I have had just the opposite problem, with too much shade on my deck. But because of emerald ash borers, I have lost several Ash trees in the past few years and it has given me some sunlight and I've had to pay attention and begin to plant different sort of plants this year. I will see how they do
Wow... Beautiful flowers. I am sure they brightened up the place. :-)
Today was a stormy day with wind and heavy rains and I am anxious for a sunny day to see how they all survived!
Oh dear. I hope they survived the storm and wind.

Now if it would only warm up!
So true Melinda!!!
Incredibly beautiful floral images @melinda010100 How they speak to us and calm our spirits! Such wonderful gifts from our creator. I hope you are having an awesome week my friend.💐
Thanks, dear @trudeehunter! I will enjoy all these lovely flowers if it ever warms up! They had snow today in Northern Wisconsin.
Howdy tonight Melinda! Do you have to put Hummingbird feeders out to attract them or just the right flowers?
I have a hummingbird feeder out that hangs right in front of the living room window. They come to the feeder regularly.. About every 10 or 15 minutes and they are not at all shy!
Oh that would be beautiful. I wonder if a feeder would attract them down here?
It would for sure. The feeders take regular maintenance. I wash mine every 3 days and put fresh sugar water in it. 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. Make sure the feeder has an ant trap (a cup to put fresh water in that the ants can't cross)
We've talked about getting one so I'll make sure it has an ant trap.
It must be very pleasant to have your cup of tea on the deck with the lovely fragrance coming from the flowers.
It has not been warm enough to do that yet! Today is another rainy day. It will be lovely if this weather pattern ever changes! 😏
The flowers are coming along nicely and great to have the family over too.
Our back garden decking began to fall apart so we took it out and now we have a lot more space and it's one less thing to clean lol.
I really enjoy my deck as it gives me a level place to be outdoors on my scooter without tracking dirt back into the house on my wheels!
Good point. The deck was here when we moved in. It was okay but the weather made it very slippery and it felt a little dangerous. Several people slipped on it so it had to go.
It was handy for astrophotography though? 😵
How wonderful to see so much color! What beautiful flowers
you have 🌸 ❤ @melinda010100! :-) The yellow white petunias
are real cool looking! Is there a boulder hiding behind them? lol
It is cold and extremely windy today and all those newly planted flowers are really taking a beating. I hope they will be OK. No boulders in any of these photos, but I do have a few in the yard and one of these days I'll do a #bouldersunday post about my personal boulders!
I hope your weather gets better soon! It should after
this next weekend!
When I was searching for boulder posts I seen your
tag and was peeking through your flowers for those
personal boulders! :-)
It has been so muddy that I have been afraid to try going out in the yard on my scooter! I'll get there someday, although the forecast has more rain all week.
Sorry about that tag! I am testing out a new build of the eSteem app and between not knowing my way around and the glitches that happen while the app is being tested I'm making more mistakes than usual.
How did I know you have boulders in your yard! ;-)
They keep changing stuff so often it's hard to keep
up with where all the new hieroglyphs are!
A small Boulder in my yard for you....
Oh my goodness this is a sweet boulder with the daffodils!!
You know those are my favorite flowers! :-)
Thank you for this lovely boulder! ❤
Wow everything looks so colorful at your place. You have a wonderful family, it really shows in all those beautiful flowers that were planted.
They do so much for me while they are here. All of them working together get more done in an hour than I could accomplish in a week.
oh yes, youth, I remember when
Those were the days! 😃

I really love those yellow and white flowers - it almost looks like the yellow was spray painted on. The deck is looking fabulous with such a wide array of baskets and flowers - bring on the sun.

I have sensed that you truly enjoyed your weekend... I am back on eSteem after the 10 day - hiatus...My foot issue is still here and I´ll be going to my Ortho soon. At any rate, I love all your flowers, the colors are so beautiful! Cheers!
I did miss you and wondered why you had been so quiet. I hope you can get your foot issue resolved. Not being able to walk is a horrible thing. I know.
