August Flowers

The month of August has come to an end.

Summer sure passed fast this year.

We’ve had a lot of rain.

On the plus side we didn't have

to water flower as often.

It was great for the flowers

and gardening.

I planted Zinnas from seed.

Rudbekia

Theses perennials are

so pretty in the Fall,

 in shades of orange, 

yellow and browns,  and

they are low maintenance

and long lasting.

Liqularia

Huge, around 7ft. tall.

Queen of the Meadow

Another tall plant.

In the Sunken Garden

Hollyhocks

A new Hollyhock

started from seed.

Nice colour,

Lemon, Lime

I planted Marigolds from

 seed to deter bugs,

to place in my barrels and

 with tomato plants,

I planted in pots.

I assumed they were 

about 6 inches tall.

Surprise, they were 4ft tall.

African type.

They are call Crackerjack Marigolds.

So bright and stunning.

Helenium and Echinacea 

Helenium 💛

One of my favourite flowers.

Pearly Everlasting

We had torrential rains which

damaged my Sunflower Garden

I managed to stake them up tied to poles

The Woodland Garden

was flooded.

The bridge moved about 3ft.

My son came to visit from Vancouver.

In the photo, my son Daniel, DIL Marina

And grandsons Louis and Jacob. 

Here I am in the middle.

My Grandsons have grown. 

My daughter, Suzanne

on the Boardwalk at

New Carlisle beach. 

A beautiful Boardwalk 

 lit up at night.

My niece Caroline and sister Annie.

at the beach in New Carlisle.

The end of August 

we had a Super Blue Moon,

lightning up the night sky.

The second full moon in

 a month is considered a

Super Blue Moon.

It will not happen again

until 2037.

Sadly Summer is ending.

Happy Fall Everyone.

Thanks for your visit.
