Finally. Roses! And Other Pretties Too. Nature Notes

The Paul's Himalayan Musk rambling rose is coming into bloom in the cherry tree.




 And the shrub roses are finally beginning to bloom, too.






 Add to that peonies, poppies, fox glove and columbine, and June is going out in a burst of color in my garden.




Even the vegetable patch is taking off.
















We mowed and edges the lawn today so everything looks especially tidy.  Mother Nature has been supplying the watering so far.














As the song goes, "the  greenest greens you've ever seen are in Seattle".  Not always true about the "bluest skies", but when we get them, they are wonderful.

    The trouble with potted plants in our patio is that they must be watered by hand. Therefore, I intend to buy plants after we return from our vacation in mid-July. Looking forward to adding some color here.

    I love your garden, too. I am amazed that your veggie garden looks so good, with both of you so busy with everything else, how do you manage?? No matter, you will be enjoying the fruits of your labors for months to come, not to mention all of the rest of us enjoying your flowers!

    Amazing. There seems to be magic in your dirt, but I know that is not true. I tend to think the magic comes from the hands that cultivate this piece of earth and eye of creativity that created it.

    That fuchsia colored peony is startlingly beautiful. Your whole garden is breathtaking! I keep telling you, you should start selling tickets for tours of your garden. Wow!

    gorgeous garden and colors...rain and coolness certainly produces and lots of work from the gardeners. We've had roses here blooming for sometime. I'll have to take a photo of my anniversary garden soon.
