SUMMER HEAT ARRIVES THIS WEEKEND

 Yes, with this Friday (some say Saturday)
marking the arrival of summer, so will the
 temperatures to go with the occasion.  


The Hollyhocks are still blooming and
usually it is already too hot for the
hydrangeas to bloom but this year we 
have had more rain and there are some
 lovely blooms.  They don't like 90 degree
temps so I imagine they will be most
unhappy this weekend with our heat
arriving.



We are at the top of  zone 6B so we have 4
different seasons.  I have loved our spring
this year but that party is about to end.



Last week I bought several bags of chicken
manure for our flower garden.  My husband
was not real thrilled with this event and the
smell but I am hoping it will be wonderful
for the garden.


I hope your summer is going well.  We
recently finished watching the entire series
of "Road to Avonlea" and I recommend it
highly for you and children love it.

GARDEN AFTER LOTS OF RAIN

 

After rain for about 3 days....
the garden looks pretty
happy!






I looked out the window this morning and saw 
what I thought was a baby bunny trapped in some
 wire I had put around my tomato plants.  It
turned out to be a turtle so I sent him on his
way happily freed.






And one more collage:

EARLY JUNE HOLLYHOCKS

The Hollyhocks have been lovely
this June but maybe not quite as
tall as usual:











Have a great weekend - we are 
participating in a 2 day yard 
sale in our subdivision.  This is
not a favorite thing to do but
sometimes necessary!
