I can't believe that we're almost done with June- this Summer is flying by for me! We've been in the midst of an awful heat wave with daily temps getting into the upper 90's and the heat index making it even hotter! Needless to say, I haven't been doing much in the garden.....once it gets hot, all I'm good for is sitting and admiring- or admonishing myself for the flourishing weeds!
Anyway, this last weekend, I was having my coffee and watching the bluebirds feed their babies and the sun created the most beautiful patterns of light and shadows; I just had to grab my camera!

In the next week or so, my Limelight Hydrangeas will begin their show as will the Ginger Lilies and Zinnias- I'll be back soon with more of the garden. And, hopefully, I'll post again tomorrow with pictures of my new painting- I'm almost done except for touch ups :)
Cheers,
Stephanie

So hot here too. Today the humidity dropped! It's true what they say...it's not the heat, it's the humidity.
I love summer! And your garden :)

Gorgeous pics, Stephanie!
So pretty! I'm like you in that it's so hard for me to work in the yard in the summer. It's all I can do to keep everything watered. If it's not in the ground by now it's not gonna happen.
Can't wait to see your painting.
oh how peaceful and relaxing! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Stephanie,
I always love your garden updates and showing what is in bloom. I've been so busy (as you read), I almost missed this post. I'm really impressed with the elephant ears. I had one of those bulbs once, brought it in year after year in the winter, then one year it had turned to mush. I'm always in awe of anyone who can get these to live a long and healthy life. Have a super day and weekend, too.
Hey Stephanie,
Blogger showed my comment was published, but I didn't see it appear. I sure hope it didn't get lost in inter-space.
