The Last of Spring in the Garden...

 
Summer is already knocking on the door,
Spring has flown by...
 
 
I would love for you to join me
on a stroll,
thru my early June Garden...

 
the first grand flushes of Roses...

 
the first grand fluttering visitors
 to the garden...
 
 
 
the greedy visitors...
 
the Cedar Waxwings have made their once a year visit,
to gobble up the Service Berries...
 
it makes you wonder where the expression
"eats like a bird"
comes from,
because they can put away the berries...
 
 
my baskets are full and plump...


 
but the Roses get my Ooh's and Ah's
 







 
Fairy Lilies...

 
twirling in the sky....
 


 
the Snowbell Tree,
so heavy with blooms,
I fear for the weight on her branches...
 
 
 
 
I hope you have drank all
the sweetness of spring in...
 
Thanks for stopping by today...

Neptune Under Glass...

 
 
Neptune Rose
 is my reliable Purple Rose...
 
Don't you love the way
something simple,
can become so important,
when it's tucked under a cloche....
 

 


 
I am a little embarrassed
to show you,
that I still have my ruffled tablecloth on my table...
 
it has been taken off a few times,
but I always miss it...
 
I have ruffle fever and there is no cure!
 

 
Neptune Rose,
Sweet Rocket Blooms,
and the Foliage of Feverfew...
 
a simple bouquet
for a rainy day...
 
the weekend forecast is looking bright and sunny,
hope your is too!
 
Thanks for stopping by....

Raindrops on Roses...

 
 
 
 
I thought I'd take you out in the garden today,
the roses are blooming...
and they are soaking wet...
grab an umbrella :-)
 
 
Raindrops on Roses...
 


it has been a wet week...
 
the mornings so fresh,
the garden so lush,
the weeds so happy...
 

 
almost Eden...



 
thin new growth
bending under the weight...
 

 
big cup shaped blooms
so full of water,
they are spilling over...
 
 
taking a good deep drink,
the sun will be shining soon...
 
Thanks for stopping by today....
