Weekend Wrap-Up

And what a great weekend it was!

Laid back, time with family and friends, mountain scenery, good food...

And some time in my yard. Of which I will share these little snippets.

This little area has become more fun than any of my initial vision.

The johnny jumpups seeded out in an interesting variety. Oh, the hail damage!

Comfrey, which I end up cutting wa-aa-ay back about twice or three times a season. I should figure out something to do with it. I hear it is a miracle cure for most of what ails me...

Perennial sweet peas...that my neighbor...my previous neighbor, actually, planted. They have come to live at my house voluntarily.

Old fashioned honeysuckle. Plain, no frills, the crazy, spreading-like-wildfire, drive me wild fragrance kind. Exactly what I wanted.

Autumn bells and lupine, which was grown from seed that an old friend brought to me as an souvenir from an anniversary trip to Alaska.

Jupiter's Beard gone crazy! With old fashion tansy behind. I figure I will just let them go at it, like giants...and see who wins.

More Jupiter's Beard, and Coneflowers just starting to bloom. I planted one (1) coneflower here, and now pretty much what isn't Jupiter is coneflower!

Spiderwort

This is my seventh summer here. I don't know that I have ever had this many growing seasons in one yard. While it is still evolving (it is growing, after all!), many little corners and crannies are 'developed', settled, and full.

Not a week, and hardly a day, goes by without me remarking how much I enjoy our yard, and how much I am lovin' how it is growing.

This girl? She is one happy camper.
