Summer time and the living is easy

Summer is in full swing at the Land of the Shiny Island.

    We’ve had some weird weather here in the middle west. A very wet and mild spring and early summer. But we’ve been lucky the past few weeks. But Saturday was a typical July day. I woke up to all the doors and windows to the porch steamed up because of the humidity vs. air conditioning. Looking out my bedroom door to the pool I encountered this adorable wild child. She was just strolling along casual-like munching on weeds. She didn’t mind when I opened the door to take her picture. This explains why most mornings when I blurry-eyed open the door to let the dogs out they tear off barking their fool heads off.

Sunday was a beautiful morning. I love having fresh flowers in the house but I haven’t been as successful growing them as I used to be. The cool weather and lots of rain has been good for not only the mosquitos. So many of the flowers were finally reaching their peak.

Hydrangeas are some of my favorites. 007

 

 

 

The daisies and snapdragons are just getting going.

A bouquet next to the commode always screams “Klass”!

Who doesn’t love roses? These are from the two new rose bushes I planted around Mother’s Day in the new bed behind the new screened porch. They are David Austin English Roses.
