The Garden, the Sky and the Sea

I love this time of year in the garden...

Lilies are blooming everywhere in the garden.

Over the years on D's birthday he had

received lilies as gifts.

They catch my eye and I have to pause

and take in their beautiful colors and shapes

every time I walk in the yard.

They nearly take my breath away.

Tonight we took a little walk on the beach and

were fascinated by the sky.

It continued to amaze me as the sun set...

Catching Up

It's been a hot humid summer here in southern Maine.

This weather slows me down!

The gardens are flourishing though they could use

some rain.

There's a chance of a thunderstorm

later today.

 D planted peas last month that the

baby woodchucks immediately ate.

D thought that was the end of the peas

 and was quite upset.

What a surprise to see them flourishing.

Well, by eating the tops the woodchucks had

actually made them bush out.

Unfortunately there are 3 different

varieties that have all tangled.

It is difficult to pick them and 

figure out what they are!

A learning experience! 

 

 

The leek flowers are very beautiful!

We try to walk in the evening when it is cooler.

There have been some unusual sunsets!

Hope you are having a good summer and the

weather isn't too oppressive.
