I’m a little behind posting these pics because things were blooming while I was sick.

The peonies were lovely…

But I didn’t manage a photo before the daylilies took over.

.
Just a few fading blossoms.

Still pretty…

But less dramatic than they should be.

Are you all better, or still having lingering issues?
I never got around to planting anything so my flowers are limited to a few very pretty purple flowers on a rapidly expanding succulent, and some new fkowers on my russian sage…. which is a long way of saying that even your “faded” flowers are far nicer than mine!

Yes, thank you… I’m feeling back to normal now. Without ever finding out what was wrong.

One of the cons of summer travel is that I miss a whole host of blooms. Some things come and go while I’m gone and I miss them entirely!

My garden beds are monsters that require a lot of maintenance. If I wasn’t around? I’d come home to bordered weeds.

As I did (and do every summer, frankly). It’s a huge task wrangling them back into shape. I swear in retirement we won’t travel in summer, both so I can fully enjoy the blooms and also so I don’t lose control of the weeds.

I hate the heat so we never travel in the summer. One week away from our place in growing season means a hay field upon our return…

Glad you are better. My yard hasn’t been the same since my knee injury. I just can’t garden like I used to.

I can’t either. My beds aren’t nearly as neat and full as they used to he…

Sometimes you are good if you don’t overthink it. Sometimes you are healthy and sometimes not. Now that I am at home more, I enjoy being healthy. Not feeling your best and working or feeling your health acutely while working is a hard situation until you make a change, whether it is to retire, work part time or slow down.

Still lovely. So is all that beautiful green grass! Our yard is dead and dry. Yours makes me miss my childhood home in Ohio. No drought problems there.

We had a very wet spring and early summer. Rain is starting to taper off now though… dry patches to come.

Peonies are my very favorite flower and If I could grow them, well, I’d probably do nothing else than stare and admire them. SO glad you are feeling better!
