Early August in My Own Garden

Back from vacation, we're still having a wonderful summer with rain, and sun and gentle breezes.  It shows in the garden. It is as full and lush as it has ever been, especially in the past two years during the drought.

Froggie measured 3 inches of rain in the last week!

My neighbor did not have a lot of watering to do

while we were away.

The planters are overflowing.

And some vines are really growing--

now that it's late summer.

The pansies are actually re-blooming with

the cool evenings, regular watering

and shade under the deck.

But the blooms of the Hellenium or Sneezeweed

shows that we're approaching Autumn.
