Nothing much happening on or off the patio, so let's take a walk around my garden. Once we are done, how about a chilled glass of white with lime & of course there's some nibbles...

I love your garden but don't like your weather at all! Tornadoes and power cuts with those temperatures is too much!
ReplyDeleteThankfully our region gets only 2-3 tornado warnings a season, nothing like the south USofA. But this type of weather is becoming too common as the weather patterns worldwide change. In our little village power loss is all to frequent all year. Mr Man says our grid must be the sacrificial one to the storm Gods.
DeleteI do hope those pretty flowers survived the storm. I hate that humidity that comes with a storm, you just can't feel comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThe storm was not too damaging at all, we seemed to have escaped the brunt of the storm's eye. My flowers are all still standing in glorious colour & array.
DeleteThose red chairs look like the perfect spot! You have a lovely garden :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. This year because of the abundance of gypsy moth caterpillars, sitting under the trees is not ideal - did you know that the caterpillars poop like rain!
DeleteBeautiful! We are building a new fence on our property line and hope to have clematis like yours in a year or two! We also have two red chairs, but ours face our fire pit, which it's been too hot to think about starting! Your gardens are just lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteThis fence is our Trump wall (lol); it was built so high to keep the neighbours at bay, who use to have a habit on the previous lower fence, to lean on & look over/throw things over. Our red chairs were bought as part of the 150 Canada celebrations. We have had a fire ban in our region, so hot, so dry.
DeleteIt's been a while since we walked round your garden. Looks lovely and the hostas are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lady Ella. The hostas so far have not been bothered by slugs/snails - it's been too dry & hot for those little blighters! Earlier in the spring I split some of the hostas & those offspring are also doing well.
DeleteYou seem to have a way with clematis. They are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. Feeding & trimming at appropriate times has been for me a key along with a huge helping of luck. :)
DeleteSuch a lovely garden!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It has certainly been my sanctuary during all these crazy times.
DeleteYour garden looks lovely and peaceful. I hope it all survived the bad weather.
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz. The garden did not get, thankfully, any damage, other than a few twigs down. I'm hoping as the weather takes a heat/humidity break, I can get back to sorting out the over abundance of some invasive plants.
DeleteGosh, that was some weather you had!
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks absolutely wonderful!
Thank you Ruth. The weather patterns & intensity of storms is increasing as the world changes.
DeleteIt must be very fun to spend time there - especially on the swing!
ReplyDeleteMy little Monk friend is not likely to share the ride :)
