Pickleball and pretty flowers: July 30 2025

avatar

Funny thing about this post: I played pickleball (indoors) for an hour and a half, and got no pictures. Then I came and still wanted more exercise. So I went walking and took pictures of flowers, fences and flower trees.

I absolutely love this team of year. Everyone wants ”color” this time of year. Whether it’s potted plants or perennials, most people have something that salutes the reason with blossoms in their yard and garden.

The season is short here, in this land of snowy, icy winters. So we brighten our porches and garden beds with colorful bulbs and flowers in the warm season!

I also love the paths and walkways everywhere.

Thank you for visiting!

Pickleball is a lot of fun!🤗
We have played outdoors on tennis courts, and it’s a bit harder to control! I end up doing a lot of running!😅☺️
