The Lusty Month of May..Friday Foto Friends & Sky Watch Friday

Note: I have sent many a friend request for my new Facebook page. I hope you will accept or invite me to friend you.

Hot weather has visited us the last 2 days with temperatures having climbed to 85F.
It will be hot again today.
Weekend weather will be cool once again.
Do you recall the song Lusty Month of May from Camelot?   It was sung by Julie Andrews and inspired the post title.

I am joining  the 129th Friday Foto Friends   hosted by Debbie.

The photo below is taken with my camera . It is a light up board so the photo is distorted and odd looking but this is the Famous not so Anonymous now Senior of the Month.
I have left out the last name and the name of the school.
Georgian Court University is the school that runs the college level classes in the school. She is taking several  university  courses  including math , chemistry and anatomy. She is amazing at anatomy and can name every single bone and major vein/artery in the body.

In August she begins pre-med at Rutgers University.
She was courted by quite a few universities including Vassar, Columbia, and others.
She finally settled on Columbia U and Rutgers and was accepted at both but decided that Rutgers was the better choice. I am thrilled as I also went to Rutgers.Also  Rutgers is very affordable if you are a resident of NJ.  If you are out of state, it isn't cheap my friends.

The township in which I live is huge in size at 55.999 sq miles.. It isn't huge in regard to population, though, as it includes beaches , salt marsh and forest.  It also includes  a barrier island and a state park.
This view  is of the barrier island and taken from our town site on Wikimedia.

This morning as the Little was leaving for school, I saw that the apple tree had blossomed. It is sparse as the tree needs some medicine.

Hopefully a fungicide will help.

Its little blossoms have a delicate, sweet scent.

 The lilacs are also beginning to bloom and their perfume fills the yard.

The mountain pinks are bursting out as well.The little pond area needs serious weeding and new plants here and there. A new filter pump has to go in as well. I think I will use a fountain this year.

This variety of mountain pinks are a lovely lilac-pink.

White mountain pinks spill out of a very large overturned planter and they are spreading out over the area.

  As you can see below,this area also needs weeding.

Now seeking volunteers! 

But no one ever volunteers for the jobs I can't do myself. They do, however, volunteer to do things I am able to do anyway.    Hmm... human nature. Can't blame them, its the hard jobs no one wants to do. Its one thing about being disabled that I really don't like.

A few of the miniature roses around the little pond are returning.

The Beach Rose is about 15 feet tall and about 20 feet wide.  In front of it is one of the many Wisterias that are growing in the yard.
The other beach rose grows up the side of the house on the chimney.
They will be white when they bloom.

   I take photos of the bay straight into the sunshine.

I love the sparkles even if there is glare.

  A tiny wave on the bay

The phragmites is tiny and newborn.

The salt marsh begins to green up.

 And in some places is already pretty green.

Diamonds sparkle on the salt water.

I hope your weekend is lovely.
