"Theme from "A Summer Place" by the Ventures This second gardening video was "shot" about one month later than the first one. This video is not very floriferous since mid-June is typically the "low point" in our growing season's "flower power"—but in another month -- mid-July- our gardens will be at their peak of maximum bloom. What is viewable in this video are many containers with flowering annuals such as: pansies, petunias, impatiens, begonias, geraniums, and lobelia. At the very start of the video, you will notice that many of the larger pots, tubs, and barrels have peony hoops with ¼" mesh-hardware cloth on top for protection from hail damage. Kimball had two disastrous hail-thunderstorms on May 24 and July 4 of 2010 -- but our numerous hail screens saved 80% of the annuals. The hail protection will be removed after July 7th -- when we usually cease having unsettled weather with violent thunderstorms. Perennial flowers that have just started to bloom are iris, peonies, oriental poppies, delphiniums, and ox-eye daisies. On the front of the house you will also observe our many patriotic decorations that we usually put up by Flag Day. It's obvious that the Meyers love to decorate their home and yard with flowers, greenery, LED lights, and wind driven props such as windmills; wind ornaments; mini-hot air balloons; windsocks; flags and banners. We will upload another garden video about mid-July! We appreciate your viewership of our videos. Thanx! Visit our "kimballnebritelites" YouTube Channel again by googling: kimball ne meyers gardens

Stars and Stripes Forever We call our July 4th Musical Light Show "Red, White, & Blue Lights Gone Wild." The show starts with the Star-Spangled Banner and proceeds through six more patriotic songs by the U.S. Marine Band -- then the light show repeats again and again, every night from 8 to 10 p.m. and from Flag Day through the Fourth of July. We don't mind being called the "crazy light couple" or the Clark Griswolds of Kimball." "Why?" -- you ask! -- because we are rewarded for our OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) by the positive feedback we get from friends, relatives, neighbors, former science students, the community and the Kimball-Banner County Chamber of Commerce!! We will be uploading a few more July Fourth videos to our YouTube Channel within the next several days! Thanx for watching!
