Wildflower Cliff

On the cliff behind our garden bed,

there is a wildflower field.

Including wild mountain laurel

Sweet William

Foxglove, near and far

and in nooks in the cliff.

So nice to see things grow

without care from a gardener!

 

Is It Really June?

 

First there were three days of rain and then

a hailstorm that actually accumulated

on the deck and in the mulch

of the landscape in front.

It looked like April --  or winter!

Next we've had four days with

temperatures over 90 degrees.

August?

The poppies suffered the most

damage.  I lost about a dozen stems, 

broken by the hail and heavy rain.

I brought them in and amazingly,

they bloomed in water.

The peonies, too, were fine

inside after the storm.

June Days

There is no better time to sit and read in the garden than a sunny day in June.

After reading a few chapters, I cannot resist a walk through the border. 

June is a'bloom.

Back to the book!
