Early Autumn Splendor
The mid-August Garden
Frills, Fluff & Mid-summer Fancies
Nothing says ‘Hello August’ like day lilies. Despite my ongoing battle with the deer, I’ve managed to see a new crop of beautiful day lilies emerge from the warm summer soil.
Day lilies, astilbe, monarda and coneflowers, the hallmarks of mid-summer blooms.
The deer, squirrels and chipmunks have made sure I’ve seen few roses this season, but thankfully they’ve left a few mainstays to admire.
Soon September will bring an end to the abstract painting that is the 2020 garden. Best I get out and enjoy nature’s canvas while I can.
Hot & Humid Won’t Slow Us Down!
It’s been blazing hot and incredibly humid in central Ontario over the last few weeks, and the days head don’t indicate that a cool-down is coming any time soon. Despite the heat, the garden is looking great with strong showing from the usual seasonal suspects – mini roses, daylilies, astilbe, coneflowers and various assorted containers brimming with petunias, marigolds, dahlias and other annuals. The deer are giving me a run for my green thumb though, time will only tell who will win this battle.
Dock Days of Summer
Of Allium & Peonies
Let’s go for a swim around the pond
The local beaver hut is no longer ice-bound, no doubt allowing it’s occupants more freedom to get out and about (while respecting social distancing edicts of course).
We’re Baaack
Several v-shaped honking masses flew overhead as I was driving home yesterday morning, luckily I was able to capture some of the action.
The Dog Days of… Spring
In these early, still nippy, Spring days, some of us just can’t wait for the warmer temps to arrive to enjoy the simple outdoor pleasures.
I ate the ball mom…
Hmm, I wondered why Linc didn’t show up with his ball. Â Based on these captures, I’d say he may have eaten it LOL
