Ketch-up Day

 


AND In the Garden

 

The fox, the HH got me, has his eye on my rooster.

 





My white Iris has decide to bloom in July.

What's growing in your garden, blogger buds?

Oh wow, Sandra. You have a lovely and very colorful garden. Your new fox is adorable. And I've never seen an iris bloom in July. They are some of the earliest blooms in my garden. Lucky you.

Happy birthday to Natalie. I hope it's a wonderful day and year for you.

"Failed to Pubish" is back. GRRR!

Happy birthday to Natalie, whoever she may be. As for the garden, we have a fine and durable entourage of weeds, both varied and persistent. When we wage war upon them, yanking them out by the roots without mercy, they simply call on their reinforcements and regroup stronger than ever. It is they who are clearly superior.

Love those flowers. Great close-up shots.

Happy Birthday to Natalie! I hope you had a nice weekend. Saturday, I went to a sale all on card making stuff…I was in heaven. Sunday, we went near Toronto to pick up some more boulders. Yes, boulders! I have no clue how my hubby will get this off the trailer all on his own. This weekend I am taking my brother to a Titanic exhibit which is his birthday gift. We have our fence up but the yard, front and back is a disaster zone.

Your garden is such a beautiful oasis. Wow on the color of your hydrangea!

Flowers always brighten things up, don't they, Andrew?

Thanks, Elizabeth:) Glad you like the garden. I hear ya on the Irises. This is a first. Mine usually bloom early too. Interestingly, it was only the white irises that I transplanted that decided to wait until July.
Ack on failing to publish being back.

Gorgeous garden, Sandra :) My roses are in-between blooms and my sunflowes are beautiful while my chard is almost ready to by picked. My garden is doing well this year but we also have an abundance of black widows too.

Sandra Cox said...

Boy, David, does that sound familiar. And those weeds are smart. They plant themselves right up against my flowers to make it harder to remove them.

Thanks, Jamie;)

Sandra Cox said...

Oh what a wondrous weekend for you, Birgit. You'll have to share photos of those boulders:)

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Sandra. It's so sweet of you. Your flowers are always so pretty.
