Stormy Early June in the Garden...

It's already June,

where is the time going?

How about a stroll through the garden?

I would love for you to join me,

but do be prepared...

you may need,

sunglasses,

wellies,

a sweater

an umbrella...

it has been stormy,

and the weather is changing at every turn...

the early spring sun

and the recent rain,

have caused a flower explosion...

Columbine...

Jacob's Ladder...

Sweet Rocket...

It seems it's all blooming at once...

I admit I am overwhelmed!

the Allium

came and went so fast...

the Peonies have already

come into full bloom...

the first Bonica Roses,

are going to burst open

at any moment!

they are low on fragrance,

but high on the pitter patter scale...

Zephirine Drouhin,

looking the best she ever has...

now this lady smells good!

a basket full of Pansies...

she sits quietly,

contemplating...

Today I am joining...

Outdoor Wednesday

Cottage Garden Party

and

Thanks for strolling with me today...

Eye Candy...

I have made it out and about

to a few garage sales lately...

I seem to randomly, unexpectedly

come upon a theme...

an impromptu collection...

I must be craving sparkle,

and sweetness...

because,

 I have been picking up crystal candy dishes...

filling them with

eye candy...

garden fresh,

with lets call it dew...

(because I really am tired of calling it rain)

Eden...

Harlow Carr...

delicate and soooo sweet....

Winchester Cathedral...

deliciously white,

with a tiny tinge of pink at the edge...

the Queen of Sweden...

regal,

amazing...

my nose is doing

 a happy dance....

Today I am joining...

Tabletop Tuesday

Bloomin' Tuesday

Tuesday Garden Party

and

Saturday Show Off

Thanks for visiting me today...

Sunday Drive...

Do you love a lazy Sunday Drive?

feet up on the dash,

not a care in the world...

last Wednesday we went for a long drive

(it doesn't really have to be Sunday :-) ) 

East on HWY 12

I thought you might like to come along...

these cute little lake houses

sit along Ohop Lake...

they make me wanna pack up

 and spend a long summer sitting on the dock...

we stopped for lunch

on a meadows edge...

the wild grasses already knee high...

common Vetch flowers

twinning up the blades...

wild Lupines were popping up on hillsides...

Blackberries in production...

Christmas Tree farms

dot the rolling hills...

when we got into the small town of Mossyrock,

the real surprise of the trip...

fields of Iris...

PURPLE!

it was a beautiful day,

a day to replenish...

Today I am joining...

Seasonal Sundays

Thanks for coming along...
