Flowers





I really wanted to take a photo of the window boxes on the front of the house, but I didn't have my camera on my way out the door this afternoon, so this will have to do. The pretty flowers N planted in pots and things out in the back garden. Oldest apparently helped choose them.

We had a barbecue over the bank holiday weekend and beforehand N went out and bought all these flowers to make the place look nice. Everyone commented on how lovely they are and many asked how *I* found the time to plant them. Everyone was very impressed that, in fact, it's N with the green thumb around these parts. I think I'll keep him.


And finally, Oldest took this photo earlier today, of me reading Garden Spells whilst out in the garden, as per your request! I'm liking it so far. Oldest seems to be taking quite the interest in photography these days ... and the piano. Things to consider.

  5. Glad to see you relaxing. Your garden looks fabulous. I hope you are enjoying Garden Spells. I will send those books to you - they are slight raunchy in parts - if you don't mind that. Did I win a book on your site recently? I wondered if I missed out on it in the end.

  7. Don't they look lovely! So festive and summery.

    Nice to see y'all like having ALL the colors, too. I can never limit myself to a color scheme, like some people can.

  8. I have read this post about 4 times now and I am finally coming to comment!

    Your flowers look lovely :) So colourful. Have you considered growing your own herbs? I think you would find it easy and low maintenance!
