Pretty

Well, the heat of summer has started to arrive. Ugh! Personally I cannot stand the heat. Actually makes me very cranky and irritable. I have not a clue as to what kind of plant this flower is on. But it sure is pretty.
This pic doesn't show the colors of the buds on this tree very well. They look like puff balls with a reddish tone. Nope, don't know the name of this tree.


A somewhat of a closeup of the red puffy ball things on the tree.

As I was standing there snapping pics of the tree I hear a familiar sound. A small step to the right and look who is trying to get my attention. It's Cookie!!! Hi Cookie!!! :)

Now that the temps are rising it is time to get out the small fan for the chicken house and clean it up. Today it is suppose to get mid 80's. Tomorrow low to mid 90's. Yuk!!! I know, some of you think that our temps aren't hot, but anything above 72 degrees is too hot for me. Ha Ha As for the outside chores, well, I make sure they are done early in the morning.

Until next time............................

  2. Yes very pretty! I don't know what it is either. I'm sure somebody out there knows. I have one of those puffy ball things too, also no idea. Cookie looks like she's curious about your picture taking!

  4. I think the 'puffy' tree/bush is a 'Smokebush' Cotinus Coggygria.

    Cookie is adorable looking through the bush.
