well over a week ago, the lemon tree made its way from the house into the garden…

since then it has been rather irritated with the weather… the leaves were all hanging down as though it was thirsty, but watering it didn’t seem to make any difference…

finally, a few days ago the leaves had perked up and it looks happy again…

the hibiscus has also forgiven me for bringing it outdoors… it had enjoyed being under the cedars but was miffed when it was moved out to the edge of the pond… where it proceeded to get a bit of a sunburn;-(…

the two of them are looking very nice now…

first thing this morning took pictures of the big morning glory… apparently they are never going to open on a day when I am home and can see it when it is fully open, lol…

  
interesting colour on it… also took this one of the mandevilla… there are lots of blossoms on it…

  
on a walk at lunch I spotted some kids climbing on Emptyful… they were having a great time as the spray blew over them… 

 
beautiful day… on the way home enjoyed the lovely weather as I walked…

  
got a shot of the morning glory when I arrived at the house… bit of a hybrid I think…

  
got a pretty good shot of it as it was starting to close up…

finished off my day with fresh corn on the cob which was delicious…

slept out on the deck last night… it was lovely… put three cushions on a lounge chair, two blankets and a pillow… not a single mosquito, woo hoo…

IMG_7320.JPGthis was what I saw when I woke up…

IMG_7319.JPGdid a bit of weeding, ate brunch in the garden, washed outdoor furniture and filled all the bird feeders…

spent some time reading and watching the birds flitting around… there was a drinking party and bath time happening too, lol…

IMG_7321.JPGafter cleaning out much of the water hyacinth I am getting a much better view of the fish as they swim around…

even the chickadee let me get a picture…

IMG_7323.JPGI got within arms length of a female Downy Woodpecker… must have stood there for about three minutes chatting to her, while she was trying to get a peanut out of one of the front feeders… lovely…
