Weekend Hunting...

My favorite summer weekend activity,

is hitting the garage sales...

 

the thrill of the hunt...

 

a handful of pretty things,

makes my day...

 



 

last Fridays little stack,

four dollars...

 

a cheap thrill...

 

there haven't been too many sales around here

this year,

maybe it's a bit early,

or just too wet here still?

 



a pretty pair of rosy plates...

 

a nice way to make dinner for one

feel special...

 



 

little silver baby mugs...

 

make sweet vases...



the curvy mug

catches the prettiest reflections...

 



 

good luck,

finding whatever it is that thrills you...

 

Happy Hunting....

Hello Summer!!

A big Hello to Summer!

Aren't you glad it's here!

 

I have to admit,

I celebrated a day early...

our First Day of Summers forecast,

was for a nasty wet one...

 

and,

 I was eager...

 

 

a little nook in the roses...

 

 

cozy...

 

 

blue skies...

my Zephirine Drouhin Rose

in full bloom...

 

she is a beauty,

but maybe not best suited to my wet climate,

I read she was a great Rose for the high desert...

 

still we try,

because she is thornless,

and perfect for my seated arbor....

 



lazy days in the sun

call for pretty garden books...

 



 

and flowers....

 

 

 

White Peaches are in season,

sweet and juicy...

 

the taste of Summer...

 

 curious Iris,

came to see what all the fuss was about...

 

 

I hope your first day of summer is "Just Peachy"...

Happy Summer!

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...

 

I'll be joining...
