this is where we left off........

....over three months have went by without any blogging. it has been a whirlwind of a summer with several trips to lake michigan and florida. and inbetween the adventures.... lots of gardening...here's where we left off in april.....in the lull after the daffs and early tulips have bloomed.....



then the whites of may appear ......old fashioned white peonies and a slew of wild daisies.....





then we have june, a burst of magenta daylillies and monarda.....




and now into late july.....



it is amazing how the monardas and karl foerster grasses have put on such a show for most of the summer. and now the yellow rudbeckias take over. can't say i have a favorite time in my gardens, i love each moment for what it is. this garden is the one everyone who visits sees first....it lines our driveway. i hope it feels as welcoming to guests as it does to me each time i return home from our travels.
