HELLO

Paint a painting of that last picture!

(minus the modern latches of course and think of Monet meets Grandma Moses while you're envisioning)

Seriously!!!

Arlene: I also start out with good intentions. Fatigue usually cuts things short here.

David thats a great idea.

Yep. Towards the end of the day(my workday, not the day) I just don't care anymore and just want to get it done! Sometimes it works, but usually not.

This is where I sit and hang out on the back patio with my little dog Lily.


Roses and Siberian Iris are blooming there and it is a peaceful spot to hang out.

Ha! I put Florida weave on the tomatoes as they really have been growing nicely. My dog gardens whenever I garden. That is I take her outside with me.

That's okay...I was away for a week and just got back. Thanks for the reply, Jo Ann.

The gardens are weedy here, but at least I didn't miss all of the rose blooms...and most of my seedlings and new plantings are still alive.
We started mowing as soon as we got the car unloaded, so picture taking will have to wait till later. Smooth White Beardtongue (Penstemon digitalis), Foothill Penstemon (Penstemon heterophyllus) and Grassy Bells (Edraianthus tenuifolius) are a few of my newest bloomers. The various clarkias are pretty, too.

Y'all's gardens sure are looking good!

Welcome home Chelle.

We can wait for photos but not for long

Heh-heh...I was hoping to get some areas cleaned up for pictures this morning, but it didn't happen. Now that school's out for the summer there will be plenty of times like that around here. My young fella did help to get a picture of me and our huge Chervil plant last evening though...guess that will have to do for now.

Wow

Thats TALL

Were you feeding it?

........yes indeed!

Only in as much as I feed anything. I probably added a shovelful of horse manure or compost to help hold moisture. BTW, this was one that wintered over; the ones I planted this spring just before it got hot here bloomed between 6 to 18"...much more of a reasonable size.

Hisssssss goes the Bamboo in the balmy breeze.

Poincianna flowers fall.

Color on the ground.

Sky is grey and water on the way....

...altogether a wonderful day!
