Bits of Fall

Fall is here! It arrived quickly and quietly this year. I plan to enjoy the crisp cool mornings, warm days, and early sunsets.  - P

Farewell August

It's hard to believe August is almost over. My flowers are in full bloom but signs of fall are already here. Here's to enjoying the last few weeks of summer. I know I will. -P

Signs of Summer

I think the end of spring and beginning of summer is one of the most beautiful times of year. Spring flowers are still in bloom while summer flowers are also budding. Check out the photos. - P

Daisy

I thought I would brighten up my kitchen table with some fresh cut flowers.  While wandering around my yard I noticed the daisies were in full bloom.  With a glass of wine in hand I put together a bunch to enjoy for the rest of the week. It was quite a peaceful way to end the weekend.  - P

Welcome Spring

Although we celebrated the first day of Spring earlier this week, it is odd that so many of my plants and flowers are in bloom this early. I took a walk around my yard to take in the early surprises I get to enjoy and share with you. - P

Baltimore

I took a quick trip to Baltimore over the weekend, and a few things caught my eye while walking around.

Monday Flowers

Earlier this week my husband surprised me with flowers.  I love getting flowers and especially on a Monday.  They still look beautiful today and make me smile every time I look at them.  - P

Summer Garden

Aside from bike riding, running, and other activities that are high on my list of great things to do, we spend much of our time in our yard. Here is a sampling of some of our flowers, herbs, and vegetables. We had a bit of a late start with the garden itself but everything seems to be growing quite nicely. Even my marigold seeds took off fast. The lavender has more than tripled in the past few years and I love to make pretty sachets for family and friends come fall. I can't wait to eat the cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers, etc soon enough. Enjoy. - P

In Bloom

My hibiscus is in full bloom. It is thriving in the hot and humid weather. - P

Colorful June

Amazing. One plant, many colors. Yellow-ish, blue-ish, pink-ish and purple-ish. And the leaves are green :-)
