Garden & Car Woes


This past weekend was beautiful, sunny and hot. We were in the high 80s and no rain at all. What a nice change. We managed to get the yards mowed, some plantings done and created enough sweat to water some flowers. On Sunday the wind did not stir at all, made for a very hot and humid day, just like the middle of summer. Supposed to stay this way all week.

Mom's newest trick to get rid of moles and deer
might help if the wind would blow

strawberry patch
the deer and moles are loving it

Mom's and Alan's garden
tomatoes and beans looking good
deer haven't jump the fence yet

blueberry bushes are loaded
I see blueberry pancakes in our future

grapevines are loaded also
yum - fresh grape jelly this summer

car woes -- this mean ole big ole truck

whammed into my once pretty car

It would really help if Dooley would look in his rear view mirror before throwing his truck in reverse and stomping on the gas. Now to the repair shop we go this afternoon. I should have it back and beautiful once again by the end of the week.

Daylilies & Deer Food


First, some of our beautiful daylilies. They are putting on quite a show this year.


two tone lavender/purple

gorgeous light pink

one of our darkest purple

this is a gorgeous double pink/salmon


light/dark mauve


The deer came to visit the other night and had a feast. In order to keep them away from the vegetables we put a fence around the garden. Now they visit the flower garden.


these were phlox and are close to our house -- doesn't matter to them


daylilies they loved and cleaned out a huge patch


annabelle hydrangea - they ate every last bloom


My butterfly weed that took several years of transplanting to get to live -- they really loved them and snacked on them in several places.
