Happy end of June

I cannot believe that today is the last day of June.  I think I am very happy that June is ending as it has been a very expensive month.  The last staw was DH coming home from work on Thursday and there is something wrong with his truck. We took it to the garage on our way out to dinner but so far they have not been able to find the problem.  They hear the noise but have no idea what is causing it.

On a happier note here are some pictures from our backyard.

Datura

PlantDatura is a genus of nine species of vespertine flowering plants belonging to the family Solanaceae. They are known as angel's trumpets, sometimes sharing that name with the closely related genus Brugmansia, and commonly as daturas. Wikipedia


These Datura only bloom about dusk and have a faint
orambe smell.  They are gone by early the next morning.

This is a rose that DH has been babying for the last several
years.  We take it into ghe garage during the winter
and put it on or patio wall during the summer.
