My thoughts exactly, Monica. Thank you, dear friend.
Thank you, dear Kanak, for your, as always, thoughtful comments. Happy remains of August :)
How kind, Jeff! Thank you. It's been fun connecting with you.
Hi Eileen. Yes, watering, watering, watering ... especially before we leave for the lake, which is where we still are until tomorrow. I shot and pre-posted before I left on Thurs, hoping all will be well when I get home to again hit the garden with great gusto before we return here again next weekend.
Thanks, dear Lindalou. Yes, have garden walks for our club but, as mentioned before, you are always welcome to stop by. May/June/July are my favorite months in the garden although this summer has been wonderful though hard to keep up in this heat/humidity and time away.
Welcome meemsnyc and thank you. Always a joy to see a new garden lover.
How sweet, Wendy. Lots of work but lots of reward. It's what I love to do and feeds my soul :)
Again thank you, Tuqui. Your visits warm my heart.
Hi Kala. Thanks ... for August, not too shabby!
Welcome, akarui, and thank you. I just returned from visiting your beautiful blog :)
Dearest Edith, I can think of nothing lovelier than a stroll through my garden with you beside me. Come in May and stay through the season :)
Thank you, Linda, as does yours!
Hi, dear Rose, and thank you. Do come and sit for awhile on my bench ... it would be wonderful! We can watch my turtlehead bloom ... I remember you like them :)
happy summer days.
Thanks imac ... lovely words :0)
Happy summer day, dear Marmee, and thank you. My garden feeds my soul as does life at the cottage. By now you know me well and love how you relate to my lake feasts ... many and often this summer! Blessed to share, I could not be happier than when wrapping my arms around/feeding those I love.
Karen, thank you. I love garden parties! Do come and I'll arrange another (don't forget your camera and, in between dining, we'll have a great time shooting) :)
You have such a lovely garden!
Thanks Chad. Indeed it is. I luv my old bench!
