Summer boating

Nicole visted us on her whirlwind stop heading for Thailand this summer. It was wonderful to see her looking so good. She and Dad kayaked the Lake and creek. Believe it or not we had a spot of good weather for their outing.

Here is a photo of the creek. Lots of waterlilies and reeds.

The intrepid canoer in his portaboat. Oh look he is wearing his life jacket!
The beautiful kayaker in the lake. Oh look she has her life jacket on!

I am back

Here are more photos of the yard. I have two weeping roses by the side of the garage. When I purchased them they were bare root and by the time I planted them they were very sad looking with wilted sprouts. But after many weeks they leafed out and blooms galore. Since this was their first year I think the stems will be fuller in the future. I am very happy with them.

Lace cap hydrangeas are one of my favorite plants. Here is a close up. They are not native but I think this particular type looks natural in the yard.

This is the bunny playgound. Bare dirt in the garden. There were lettuce plants here. Mowed down before we could make a salad. We do have other veggies but the bunnies like lettuce.

Thank you for looking.
