Summer

Hi there,

I hope life has been treating you kindly.
Here we have skipped from a late spring to summer. Oh so lovely, especially the warm breezes that are loaded with, depending on where you are, the delicious scent of all sorts of blossoms and wild roses.

  “Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” 

                         Henry James                                     

Somewhere along the river.

Bearded Irises. So grand!

On a neighbourhood fence, a Trumpet Vine. When it blooms, I hope to take a few pictures.

Peonies

Even the blooms are eloquent. 

I love hostas too. ( Me and my shadow.)

Next...On the Wild side.

Wild Flox. 

Wild Geranium 

 

  Wild Roses. They smell heavenly.

Once the petals begin to fall,  I'll dry the them for potpourri.

Moving on to a few pictures from my container gardens. I don't remember sharing any of my container plantings before.  Even though I said I wasn't going to plant many, I planted 27 containers this year. They give me joy! So I can't help myself.

My Fuchsia.

Cosmos. I love how they wave about in the breeze.

 Ferns are a must.

On the grow. Pansies and Sweet Potato Vine.

You may remember this watercolour painting. I didn't like how the fern stock was leading the eye.  Contemplating, but I think I will be satisfied with a few more twigs and a small piece of fern.
