Willy Nilly Friday 5 - May 28, 2021

 Happy Friday!

 

It's been awhile since I've posted for WILLY NILLY FRIDAY FIVE 

so today I'm going to join in.  Although Tom doesn't run the blog hop anymore you can still post photos for it.

 

1.  May Day flowers - This is just one of the two May Day baskets that I was lucky enough to receive.  This one my sweet hubby gave me.

2. 

I've always thought it was fun to see birds sitting on wires.  -  Check out the video below of what one man did with birds sitting on wires.

3.Just a stray kitty that shows up occasionally to eat the cat food we leave out.  This one is very skittish so I took this shot through the window as it was leaving the front porch.

4. Dragon Lily - Dracunculus vulgaris

 

My granddaughters boyfriend told me about this plant that grows near where he lives and I waited patiently until it bloomed.  He described what the flowers would look like and I google (stinky purple flowers) and eventually found out what this plant is.  It's Dracunculus Vulgaris - It apparently smells bad and attracts flies, it's also toxic so in handling it you should wear gloves.  I think it's pretty cool looking though.

 

5. Goosey Lucy - Spotted peaking out front a fence on.

6.  Bonus shot:  Haven't shared much about our newest family member, Darby the dog.  So here is a picture of him and Coleen.

 

He's going to start some training next Friday and hopefully he will learn some manners.  He's the sweetest dog but needs help learning what is good behavior and what is bad behavior.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Happy May Day

For as long as I can remember I've been giving my Mom a May Day flower.  The object is to try and surprise the person by ringing their doorbell and running away before they catch you.  By now my mom knows it's me leaving the flowers but we still have fun with the running and hiding.

Now the tradition is being carried on by my daughter and granddaughter as well.

I received a nice Hollyhock plant this morning from them.
I gave my mom some Begonia plants.

We went shopping for plants yesterday (in the cold and wind) and I purchased some Gerbera Daisies, this is one of them.  They were planted this morning and I thought I would share it with you.

Have a wonderful day!
