“Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.”
Proverbs 3:7
We enjoy dropping by the picturesque prayer garden of one of our local churches.
Our Sioux crape myrtles are in full bloom now. We’ve not seen many Japanese Beetles so far this season and wonder if you are experiencing them?READ MORE
“And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.”
Genesis 2:8
Hello dear friends! It has been a sweltering week with heat indexes in the high 90’s and low 100’s. But we have had rain, so that has kept watering down to a minimum. I want to thank you all for the comments and memories that you shared about “seersucker” on Tuesdays tablescape. All of your stories were so enjoyable!
Our garden usually thrives in July with the limelights and vanilla strawberry hydrangeas in full bloom, as well as zinnias and sunflowers! Grab your hat, and may I suggest a tall glass of iced tea, and let’s take a walk through the garden!
“Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized”
~Allan Armitage
Looking into the garden from behind the fence shows the tall vanilla strawberry hydrangeas and the smaller limelights along with sunshine ligustrum and adagio maiden grasses in the background. Butch prunes the hydrangeas way back every year and they have always thrived. However, the limelights have been slow this year.
The blooms on the vanilla strawberry hydrangeas are big and showy!READ MORE
“Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.”
Romans 12:17-18
Hello sweet friends! I hope you all enjoyed the long holiday weekend…we certainly did! We had lots of fun, ate too much food, but did manage a little time for relaxation. It seems that summertime with its heat and humidity has settled over our Appalachian Foothills. I am thinking all things summer like sunflowers and seersucker!. Yes, I said seersucker!
It is summertime, so more than likely you will find me in the garden for Tablescape Tuesday!
Yes, the heat and humidity have been high over the past week, but about an hour before the sun sets it starts to cool down enough to set a table!READ MORE
