A Walk Thru The Garden on July 7th

It was another lovely, sunny day but a little hot.  In Maine, we rather keep to the high 70sF during the summer but manage to get thru the hotter days in the 80s and then the few 90s rather well.

A stroll across the bridge is so pretty and peaceful with the cottages along the shore.  Remember that song...……. "Up a lazy river...……..

….…...by the...……...

….…..old mill stream"
 Its somewhere in this area where our resident Canada geese families, both sets, reside and come to roost when the evening hours approach.

Our view on the way home from across the bridge.  Our pathway thru the back yard is long and winding and features some raised beds, lots of wild rose bushes, and many ancient trees.

                                                          Purple Coneflowers.

We have lots of yellow daisies this summer.

The white Shasta Daisies are large and beautiful.

Our several Snowball Hydrangea are starting to fill in and give us huge balls of summer snow.

The Achillia or Yarrow, is getting fuller and fuller each day.

It very colorful alongside the patio.

Lets not forget the Tiger Lilies.  Too bad they are Daylilies and don't last long.

This smaller Hemerocallis or Daylily, is very pretty and a buttery yellow.  I prefer it.

Whatever is blooming in whatever season, both me and my dog Penny enjoy our garden walks.

The coming week will see us in the 80sF during the daylight hours but happily our evenings cool right down here in southwestern Maine.  A wonderful state to live in during the summer.  Its no wonder we are the Vacation State and see upwards of a million vacationers during the summertime.  For a state with only a million residents over its wild vastness, that's quite a throng.

Have a good day!
