blue skies. . .around me

I've been loving . . .loving .. . loving our weather here in
Beautiful British Columbia.
The drizzly weather that bothered us a bit ago, is gone and we are enjoying
a warm end to summertime.
I've been keeping an eye on our climbing hydrangea this summer ..
will the two sides meet and join forces to become a nice
full arbor?
Well, it certainly seems that next summer. . .
they'll close the gap. .


My beloved is fighting with the weeping cedar tree ..

it's going to get a bit of a pruning. ..

I stood and watched the sun shine down through the branches. .

Our glossy dark green magnolia bush . . .
still feels full of life. . .
sending out a few more blossoms.

Abraham Darby is as freshly scented now as it was in spring.



I'd love to have these blooming all winter long. . .
but I'd likely get spoiled.

the signs are here .. .
fall is around the corner. . .
one yellow leaf here and there. . .
but for today . . . I'm wearing shorts and a tank top. . .
and I'm loving it.
Have a wonderful weekend my friends.. .

  5. Isn't the fall rose bloom magnificent? The fall flowers seem especially untroubled by the spring time mildews and bugs.

    Thanks for a peek at your garden. I do love your pretty bowers and nooks.

  6. Oh, your plants are beautiful. I've never seen a climbing hydrangea ... bet it's an eye catcher when it blooms! We're ending our summer with a good round of hurricanes. Ike's outer bands are really pounding us today. I'll be glad for this season to be finished!

  8. I'm thinking that a walk would sound nice eh? This is the best time of year for walking, while you notice all the subtle changes.
    I think I love Fall the best.
    The roses look beautiful.

  11. I know you're enjoying that wonderful weather. "Ike" has left us, but I'm really concerned about the folks along the Texas coastline. We're back to just hot-hot-hot, with lots of humidity (right now, our heat index is 102F).

  14. I hate not being able to get out and enjoy the weather today! Your garden looks lovely, as always. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to breath deeply the smells of fall. Thanks for the window!

  15. My 2 hydrangeas are putting out new blooms now. I was so pleased - I just bought them this year for my new flower bed. They were looking rather poorly after the initial blooming but thankfully, they seem to have recovered. They are the endless bloom variety and once they are established, I'm hoping that they will send blooms out all summer.I've never heard of the climbing variety. They look lovely.

    My phlox are doing well and my snowball bush is covered with blossoms. My flower pots are still looking good too.

    I guess all this rain has some benefits :)

    I've heard that a rainy summer also makes for a spectacular fall foliage.

    Lets hope!!
