Had a few things in bloom last weekend....for the first time!!!
I have had this snowball bush for at
least 5 years, and this is the first year it bloomed...every other year it was devoured by some tiny insects... very
pleased with this display...:o)
Ditto for the purple phlox...when I noticed the buds a few weeks ago, I had no idea what it was...don't remember planting it...wonder where it came from??? Oh well....I will just enjoy...it is lovely tho, isn't it???
 |
| The Bridalwreath Spirea is in full bloom...I am sure with all this heat this week...it will be done very soon :o( |
 |
| Got a few more baskets planted up....added a few hostas that were buried under day lilies |
 |
| This shot should certainly win an award or something...I was on my tippy toes, and didn't even see the baby robin until I downloaded my photos...nice!! |
 |
| These Allums were buried as well...they finally got their heads above the rest... |
 |
| Perennial Sweet Peas looking good... |
 |
| All lined up to get a drink.... |
 |
| Nearly done....will probably have to get some more stuff!!! |
 |
| My boyfriend loves to feed the gulls....and they seem to love him... |
 |
| Had a big bonfire....mostly from the hedge that we trimmed...don't you wish you could burn stuff in the city??? Remember when people used to burn their leaves in the fall??? I can smell it now....brings back memories...for sure...:o) |
 |
| We finished the day with beef and chicken shish-ka-bobs...salt and ground black pepper sausages....wild rice and greek salad....deeeeeelish.....on the sun porch of course...with the beauty painted floor!!! |
I spray painted these chairs purple...
What do you think????
What kind of day did you have...
Hope it was a good one....
CHeers :o)
Bridal wreath spirea..that one is new to me. I love it. Wow. and how great that your snow ball bush bloomed. It looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteyummy dinner
gorgeous view
loving the purple chairs! :)
Hi Betsy..
ReplyDeleteIt is actually a bush...and the sprays of flowers hang down...kinda like a bridal bouquet...hence the name! Very attractive...but alas..only for a short time...
Beautiful flowers... Love the purple chairs... spray paint!! I'll have to remember that...so much easier than painting them... Looks like a wonderful day!!
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the robin is fabulous, with the little baby's head popping up in there! LOVE the purple chairs! I have a Bridal wreath, too! Too bad it's beautiful for such a short period of time. Looks like a wonderful, productive time at the lake!!
ReplyDeleteThe garden is looking lovely. I need to get one of those snowball bushes, very nice. Glad it flowered for you this year. The chairs look good, I'm thinking of painting ours a different colour this year. So nice to watch the campfire. We can burn in our backyard (we're not in the city), but we do need a permit and have to notify the fire department.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - love the purple chairs!!! And I really like the geraniums growing around the old tree stump.
