Summertime

The gardens are bursting with color. It is just my favorite time of year in the garden. We keep adding day lilies and they are starting to create an impact. This has been a good year in the gardens.

Harvesting my lavender. I love how it smells and I will have it all winter long.

Our sweet stray kitty. He is no longer a stray, but part of our family. He stays in more than out, sleeps at the end of the bed and is all round sweet.

Pumpkins are coming along.

 Look, my purple people eater has bloomed!! My friend Kari started these from seed. She is kind enough to share. I just love how beautiful they are.

 Now I want you to know I have taken a few days out of the garden to antique. It has been a much needed break, from work and home. These are a few of my new additions. I love each of these crocks. All found in different places. All unique and all in really good shape.

 Oh yes, this sweet basket too. Love her.
