How Does Your Garden Grow?


A lull in the storm and a splash of color across the street


Brilliant color next to the neighbor's fence.


Heavy winds blew the dragon over. Surprised with his outstretched wings he didn't go airborne


I liked the way this leaf was standing up in the grass.


Busy afternoon at the feeder. A house finch and a nuthatch share the perch while mourning doves rummage in the grass


Another girls' morning out


Almost 5 inches of rain from two straight days of heavy rain. Glad it wasn't snow or this would have totaled nearly 50 inches


Morning glories think it's August. I'm not complaining


and bring brightness to the morning gloom


A petunia, a little worse for wear, still hanging on


Dido is completely hidden by dusty blue and lavender hydrangea blooms

How does your garden grow?

  1. Your garden is still looking good. Love the mourning doves, we don't have them here. Glad your dragon didn't take flight! I just have clover, mums and one petunias on my balcony. Enjoy your Sunday, hugs, Valerie

    1. The mourning doves are one of my favorites. When the Eldest was little she used to call to them and they'd answer back. Yooo-hooo. Yoooo-hooo.

  2. I think with today's and tomorrow's rain and wind we will have no leaves left. :( It's been so pretty the last week or so. I think from your photos we've gotten to the same point. But love seeing how your morning glory still has some flowers. And I just love that dragon. that is super cool. Happy Sunday. Not the day yesterday was, but I can use a dark relaxing day. Hugs-Erika

    1. We lost a lot of leaves from last week's storm, and I bet the rest will go with the storm today.

    1. As long as it doesn't come down an inch per hour so flooding doesn't happen

  6. Sorry I'm so late visiting. Battery meltdown, so to speak. I have been reading about your storm, and realize it isn't over yet. Maybe it's time to fly that dragon into the garage for the winter. Love it, though.

    1. I was happy the dragon didn't fly away. The Black-Capped Chickadee is my state bird.
