We are about at the end of the bloomin season here in upstate NY although I still have plenty of flowers still holding on. I am starting to clean up my gardens for winter, moving a few things around in anticipation of next spring. My morning glories and climatis are still looking beautiful as are the [...]
Last week we had several rainy days that were really needed. The temperatures have been cooler and it was beginning to feel fall like way toooooo soon for me. It has finally stopped and they are predicting sunshine and warm weather for the next 6 days or so. Whew. I thought maybe summer had ended. [...]
We had a wonderful soaking rain last weekend. It really helped perk things up around here. I have cleared out some of the spent plants and flowers so it seems a bit sparse in some areas, but in others there is plenty of fullness. I have seen monarchs drifting by now and then which [...]
Walking through my garden today, there were plenty of smiling faces wanting their photo taken. I was happy to oblige. I hope your flowers are grinning at you today too. ~ “Then followed that beautiful season… Summer…. Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape Lay [...]
This week has been another hot one. Some of my plants aren’t faring as well as others but there are still plenty churning out the blooms. I had to do a lot of weeding and deadheading this week but it’s all good, as long as I can garden, I am not complaining. Too soon I [...]

Here are a few of the blooms happening today in my garden. They just happen to all be RED!:) Have I mentioned that’s my favorite color? ~” ‘Tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes!”~William Wordsworth
It’s mid July, time to see what’s going on in our gardens for Garden Blogger’s Bloomsday. It’s also Fertilizer Friday! I have a lot blooming, so it makes it hard to believe my yard and gardens are showing the stress of very little rain and extremely high temperatures. My grass is brown in spots and some of [...]
The temperatures are in the high 90′s to low 100′s here for the past week or so. The heat is one thing, but the humidity makes it so hard to breathe. It’s hard to find a spot that is cool to stay in unless you are in front of an air conditioner. Although most [...]
There are so many different flowers. I even had a tomato that turned red. Unfortunately, the critters that live amongst us decided it would be great fun to pick, take a bite or two and leave in the dirt to rot. I am not sure if it’s squirrels or chipmunks. Devils, I ‘d say. They [...]
