June Exuberance

 

We have been dealing with issues with our car dealership, but the car itself is fine, and we choose to forget about it when we work in our garden. 

We have spent hours each day trimming and mowing and edging and removing and replanting and tying up and staking and even planting some seeds, hoping the little sun we have now, due to clouds and very tall trees, will at least produce a few things in our garden boxes. 

Today the rain has returned, and that's OK because we need the rain and we need a rest. 

Yesterday in the late afternoon I took time to just walk around and enjoy the exuberance of June in our Pacific Northwest Garden, and take some photos to share with you. 

When we finally sat long enough to notice, we discovered that Chickadees have returned to nest and raise young in this birdhouse. They are flying back and forth bringing bugs to their babies. 

The tulips have all been lifted and the holes left behind are being covered with other growth, like these hostas. 

We finally got the last of the glass art out into the garden.

June is busting out all over. It is the best garden month.
