New Delights

the daffodils are slowly fading away for another year. fortunately they are being replaced by flowering primrose and creeping phlox. every day now there is a new delight for me to see in the garden.

a little surprise

while cutting spent flowers from my rose bushes this morning i noticed this little guy resting on a dead branch. so of course i ran back inside to get my camera and when i returned he was still there. i think he was looking at me.

summer song

sitting on the deck last night listening to the sounds of summer.

Watching

spent some time yesterday afternoon watching the butterflies and bees feasting on the mint.

light rain today, a good time to bake, banana and walnut cake.

todays harvest

much to my sons delight we picked two cucumbers and three cherry tomatoes from the vegetable garden this morning.

favourite flowers

my five favourite flowers

1 roses- of course

2 poppies- all kinds

3 cosmos - because they show up every year without any work from me.

4 peonies- finally this year i had some success growing them

5 tulips- wonderful to draw, but have not grown them since the deer ate my one yellow tulip in the spring of 2008

yellow flowers

more rain overnight. its good for the garden. back in the spring i had this vision of a wonderful red and yellow garden. taking a turn around the front garden this morning i did not notice much red, just yellow, yellow marigolds and yellow gladiolus

From the garden

only two of the four fig trees have fruit this year. the tomatoes are slowly changing from green to red. i picked two strawberries and one eggplant today.
