Tuesday again

 Suddenly I have little to say. 

I think most bloggers have been here. And the darn Blogger Site won't let me get on Layout to do anything that I want to...it's just "out of order."

So my go-to is to work on Ancestry. That's another site completely, but I've been supposedly saving my research on Blogger. Now I'm not sure years worth of info. will be kept securely. I hate that feeling.

Next choice is just to go outside and work on my plants. Lots have died with the heat and need to be tossed. So I'm going to show you the remaining ones.

I'm giving cuttings off this wonderful coleus...so people can have them in water over the winter, to go outside in the spring.

I probably showed you this already.

I have been listening to Allison Russell and their Tiny Desk Concert from yesterday's post. Their last number is incredible to me!

Today's quote:

Edith Wharton said, "There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that receives it."

new garden at lake

One of our local Master Gardeners, David Bush, takes care of the "experimental garden" at Lakeview Center. Last Saturday he planted some flowers, and some seeds of flowers.  So when I arrived Monday, I saw someone had watered the plants.

 The second tier has some strawberries, as well as hostas and perhaps rosemary. The bushy growth on the lower level looks like carrots.  I'll have to ask David.

 Above strawberries (there are some ripe ones from this pic) are the last of the iris!

I think these are sweet peas.

It looked for a while like some weather was coming over Lakey Mountain on the other side of the town, and the lake.

Of course our gardener hostess had to point out something about the fountain

Next door through the slats on the porch, I was being watched by this cat (look left of tree)

Susan's front gate was open for the tour both days in June, as her 2 dogs were being tended elsewhere.

Sitting with our sadness takes the courage to believe that we can bear the pain and we will come out the other side.

What grand flowers, I've never seen them so big!

The greatest surprise is that there is anything at all -- that we are here.

Quote for the day

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
