Virginia Creeper creeping across the window screen -- I should tear it down but the colors are so pretty!
On the little deck outside our bedroom, the peace lily (spathesphyllum) basks in the morning sun.
Down the road to have a look at the garden.
Brussels sprouts -- with bugs, alas!
Healthy looking squash and yes! . . .
. . . the first squash of the year! I think we'll slice and grill them .
Hoping that the squash borers don't come.
Rose of Sharon (Althea) -- I love that deep purple-red center design with the rays reaching out!
One of the broody hens, snatching a little breakfast. She stays fluffed out at all times.
Foxglove (Digitalis) volunteer. An architectural plant -- also magical (fairies sleep in them) also useful to the mystery writer -- the leaves, innocently mixed in a green salad, can cause heart palpitations -- and death.
A shy impatiens, hiding beneath the yellow twig dogwood
A gardenia bud takes the first step, unfurling a pristine petal
If whipped cream were a flower . . .
Eddie is rightfully proud of his magnificent tail
A lovely tiny rose --hardly two inches across
The early daylilies have finished blooming but I'm happy to have a few late season ones. This one has a subtle beauty, I think.
The weather these past few days has been magical -- just like this sky.
Wild grapevines are getting intrusive -- note to self: Pull down. But first I'll take their picture.
The little maple seedling took root in my flower bed. I'm going to give it a chance to become a bonsai. . . we'll see . . .
In another twenty or thirty years it could be spectacular! (Remember I mentioned about gardeners and faith.)
The white clematis at the back door . . .
. . . has a visitor
Autumn Joy sedum stretching up, getting ready for its time to dazzle
The back of the Ten Commandments? Two stony characters, staring one another down? Modern sculpture?
The eastern sky at evening time
