June is Busting Out All Over

We've been ticking off the lists around here and things are looking spiffy. 

We got the trimming of the plants on the driveway wall done. 

 I ran the hedge trimmer and Tom got up on top the wall and did the weeding. We can only hope that new neighbors will keep their weeds knocked down now. 

Tom scrubbed the deck and the deck furniture. It looks great. 

This morning I got the old freezer out in the garage defrosted and cleaned out, a once a year, end of the school year job. 

We have weeded and mowed and edged and trimmed, and once in a while we take time to sit and survey our kingdom. This morning, after finishing my exercises and the freezer, and before the sun broke through, I took my camera out to the garden to see how it all looks through the camera eye. I took so many photos that I will have to break this up into several posts.

Let's start with how it looks to sit here, in the middle the that island bed in the top picture. 

 Surrounded by abundance. 

Walking around that same bed, and the surroundings in the lower yard. 

We are having glorious weather, perfectly suited to us Pacific North-westerners: cool nights and mornings, warm, sunny afternoons, temps reaching the mid 70's, warm evenings. 

May is so beautiful, but Ah! June!
