Wednesday Walk and Make Me Smile!

Here is my

Wednesday walk post by @tattoodjay and a collaboration with

make me smile by @elizacheng

Once again it is a rainy Wednesday. I had plans to go out early, but it has been raining all morning and it's still coming down at noon, so my photos are all taken not very far from my backdoor!

Actually these were taken on the screen porch.

This Baltimore Oriole does not mind escaping the rain by hanging out under the eaves of the house and snacking on a bit of grape jelly!

The flowers do not seem to mind this cool wet summer we are having.

And look! My Meyers lemon tree has tiny new lemons on it! The potted tree is almost 15 years old and each year gets a few lemons that ripen around Christmas time. The grandkids always look forward to picking the lemons and making Christmas Eve lemonade... It has become a Christmas tradition.
