A walk in my garden!

A long weekend is coming to an end.  It was wonderfully hot and I loved every minute of the fabulous warmth.  Hot for here is 90 degrees!  Trust me, I know it gets way hotter elsewhere and I have lived there so I never complain when it hits 90 here.  I just revel in it!

My unpacking and organizing is coming along, you can now see my living room is a living room but I still have much more to do.  I will have to pick at it here and there since I must get back to work.  I have 4 custom painted sign orders to complete and one to ship in the morning.  

But I thought I would share my morning walk and fresh blooms I am enjoying.  First we have some poppies, I bought a fat little packet of them last Fall and tossed them around.  I just love the result!



There are varying shades of pink.  I just love the contrasting yellow in the center.



And even a red one with white in the center…




There are super frilly ones that look quite exotic.




This particular sweet pea has just exploded with fragrant blossoms




And my Anne Boelyn rose is putting on her show on my back deck.  The sweet little viola cuddled up to her seeded itself last Fall.  



And looky here, my first little tomato, now let’s hope the birds don’t get off with it before I get a taste.

 
This year I tried a new daisy, I grew them from seed, they are called Prince Zulu.  The name fits. 



 here is a shot of the sun shining through the papery petals of one of my poppies..




I have been sitting on my front porch enjoying the cooler evening air as I write this, now the sun has gone down and the mosquitoes are hovering.  I guess I should pack it in and head for a tub of water to wash off the garden dirt.  

happy Monday all!  I hope you have a wonderful week!
