summer is here and I am doing my best to cherish every minute of it…

spent the day in the garden… a bit of deadheading and weeding, and lots of time enjoying my current book, which a friend just gifted me a few days ago…

after the crew came and mowed, whipper snipped, and tidied the grass, I put back a few pieces of furniture that I’d moved to make their job easier…

the clematis is filled with buds and I expect they will open in the next few days…

even managed to water the houseplants and produce a few meals… all of which were eaten outdoors…

the weather was lovely… sunny and warm, not too hot, with a slight breeze…

the poppies are nearly done… they don’t particularly enjoy rain…once they are finished the rest of the perennials will show themselves, lol…

the sounds of the two ponds running and the odd bird made for a relaxing time…

to top off the day I received three water hyacinths which have gone right into the pond;-)… the fish are going to enjoy them and maybe babies will hide amongst their roots…

I am blessed…
