I'm happy waking up knowing the garden has been watered. Yippee! One chore I can cross off my list today! Heading out in bathrobe and slippers..(of course, camera too!), let's see how things are looking. Even on a dark day, these blooms are quite bright!
Especially white blooms..they almost glow!
Gooseneck loosestrife...one of those love/hate plants for me! I swear half of the compost bin is filled with it! Pretty in bloom right now though...
Okay, what was I thinking, slippers are soaked! Good day to get back into bed....even the view off my bedroom bay is inducing sleep...*yawn*
It's still early, but fingers are crossed for one of those days where I can say...oops, can't go out..too wet! So rain, rain, please come back and stay a while. Hope you're having an off day from yard work, too!

Your flowers beds are just gorgeous. Hope you get more rain in the next couple of days. We may get some tomorrow.My rain barrel is getting low.
ReplyDeleteWow, your border is just lovely. I agree, this weather has been nice. I bet we pay for it in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI can totally agree with you on staying in bed. It is my nap time here so yawn yawn too:) The blooms do look most bright.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is so bright and lush! I wish mine were looking that way. As much as I love having such a sunny summer, the plants just don't look as lush as usual. I like having a few rainy days in the summer so I don't feel like I should do garden work. I feel guilty staying inside. Enjoy your nice day inside :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I long for a rainy day, I'm so tired of dragging the hose around my yard! Your flowers are gorgeous, even on a cloudy day. Hope you went back to bed!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gardens!
ReplyDeleteheavenly - your creation, nurturing, and sharing talents!
ReplyDeletepeace~

Do you believe it? I am having rainy days here too. I welcome the rain especially when I need to travel. When rain is predicted, I don't worry about my plants. BYW, the view from your windor is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteI love rain, always even when I'm on the road (but of course I try to avoid going out ... hehehe.) Your garden looks wonderous, Lynn. I love all your plants.
ReplyDeleteYou have a "legal" reason to stay inside!
Hi Lona, it was a nice cool day and I actually needed a sweater! A rain barrel is something I've been wanting to get, thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteBrooke, you're right..Aug. will be hot, muggy and uck! That's when I just throw my hands up and don't worry about what the garden looks like..'til it's time for fall plantings..lol!
Tina, hope you got your snooze in! I curled up with a book for a while but couldn't go back to sleep....still yawning now! Early to bed I think!

ReplyDeleteCatherine, YOUR garden is always so bright to me! Haha, I feel guilty when I'm OUTSIDE puttering as the household chores are neglected...got caught up with some today, especially laundry..fun!! Btw, progress on my pond?...zilch! Just removed two shrubs where I think I want it to go...
ReplyDeleteHi Robin, okay, I'm sending some rain your way..lol! Actually, still sending best wishes to your hubby and hope he's getting stronger everyday :)
Thanks, DP for sending the rain this way!
Hi Chuck! So nice of you to stop by during your busy week...thank you!
You have a bodacious border!! Love it. All those wonderful colors and textures. Looked at your last post too. Wonderful daylilies. Mine have fizzled for the year, except Pardon Me, which is new. It has a few buds.
ReplyDeleteYour blooms will definitely shine even when there is no sunlight! They are all beauties. I like your white fence... make your garden look so pretty. Btw, I usually do weeding and repotting after the rain as soil is softer ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers.....great views from every angle....get those slippers dry now!
ReplyDeleteMissy, bodacious usually goes with another B word..haha! Pardon Me just started for me last week..funny how bloom time is different. I have late bloomers so still awaiting those:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steph..yep, the white fence is probably in TOO many photos..glad you like it!
Hi Darla, most of the windows look out to gardens...big pressure to keep it nice..weed free, etc..otherwise drapes are drawn! Bunnie slippers warm and cozy again this morning ;)
Hey! Nice to meet you and thanks for getting in touch. I sure could use your help at my house/superfund site....
ReplyDeleteNot kidding. Insects being airlifted out as we speak...
Peace - Rene
LOL..Rene! Okay, room and board for labor...do you own any gardening tools..what do you mean what are those?? Just kiddin'
ReplyDeleteI WILL be up there soon! Thanks for visiting :)
Gardening is your passion? The nature is beautiful... :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Lynn - looks like the rain made all of them very happy!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn! I already told you what beautiful garden you have and how I like it. Well, I am telling this again: beautiful, inviting, cozy and lovely! Thank you for leaving a comment on my fish post! I still can't believe that I got so lucky: there were many boats on the river, but we saw only two king salmons being caught in 5 hours. I can't stop smiling ... Thanks again and happy gardening to you!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful -- so much colour! And that wonderful white fence is a perfect backdrop.
