Summer Flowers

We are at the end of July already.

Summer is passing fast.

I hope everyone is staying well and 

safe during this pandemic.

I am sharing some photos of my flower garden.

Enjoy.

Nasturtiums, I start from seed each year.

So bright and pretty. 

"Willow Way"

My Grandson, Mathieu made this sign.

My Weeping Willow tree needs some trimming.

Pansies or Johnny Jump-ups

Coreopsis 

Nice foliage on these flowers,

even after the flowers are gone.

Can anyone identify these tall fluffy flowers?

Delphiniums

Hollyhocks

I have other colours

flowering later.

This plant grew huge

Golden Marguerite.

Hosta in flower

Wild Roses

a sweet scented rose.

Peonies flowered and didn't last long this year.

Probably because of lack of rain in June.

Wild grasses

Telekia

A tall exotic plant.

Goldenrod, a pretty wildflower.

Milkweed, goldenrod, Queen-Ann Lace, pink and 

white musk, daisies, tansy, vetch and bluebells.

We are surrounded by so many beautiful wildflowers.

I hope you enjoyed my garden tour.

Stay well and keep safe.

Thanks for your visit 💗

Canada Day 2020

The Year 2020

It's a different Canada Day this year.

We're following regulations

of a pandemic, like the rest of the world.

"We are all in this together"

Despite record breaking heat and dry weather here,

my flowers are flowering beautifully,

even though it has not rained in over a month. 

Fireworks were not allowed this year

because of the increase of forest fires,

across the province.

Two of my Grandkids,

 Sabrina and Mathieu,

came to visit last week.

Sabrina my granddaughter,

helped decorated the Gazebo.

We hung paper lanterns from the roof.

I cut some Oriental poppies and made a bouquet.

Added white to the pitcher, 

snow-in-summer and caraway

The poppy is the official flower 

of the Royal Canadian Legion,

memorializing our soldiers 

who fought for our country.

 The Royal Canadian Legions 

are closed during this pandemic.

Poppies beside the old Hayraker

 The Grandkids did crafts,
 played games and visited the beach.
They collected some rocks on the beach
and painted them to add to the garden path.

Sabrina made my old garden shed 
her art studio.

Sabrina and Mathieu

They are growing up.
They are taller than me.

(update 2025 Mathieu is 6ft. tall and slim)

The garden path...

At the beach.

It's easy to physical distance there.

Sabrina and Mathieu with

 cute dog Pinot.

We played horseshoe.

Mathieu didn't feel well all week.

He had an earache, (Swimmer's Ear).

Cute dog Pinot stayed with him.

A lot of things are different this year,

We are in a drought, no rain for over a month. 

I have no birds at the feeders.

I assume they are staying in the woods

where it is cooler and near the lakes

to get water. 

I got a winning ringer.
no rain, no grass 😒

The painters -Annie, Mathieu and Sabrina

My sister Annie painted

this heart rock.

We are gratefully to live

in a Wonderful Country, Canada. 

In closing I want to wish all my Canadian friends

A Happy Canada Day and all my American friends

on July 4th, a Happy Independence Day.

Stay safe and well. 

Thanks for your visit
