How Does Your Garden Grow?

Lots of garden photos in the month we've been home from our trip.


Atticus came to check out what was going on in the sun room.


Then he decided to hang out on the screen and watch Supernatural with me.


Beggar doesn't look too happy that Timex uses him as a grooming perch.


A little bee either lost or tired.




Sunflowers almost ready to bloom.


Giant milkweeds.


Om, a new addition to the garden.


Severe thunderstorms and downpours left nearly 3 inches of rain. We were lucky and our area didn't flood. Others weren't so lucky.


A bit of sunshine on the ground


Cooling off in the bird bath


Binary sunflowers


Hmm, someone wasn't happy with Om's Zen.


Someone's feathers got ruffled.


 Mourning doves are usually ground feeders. This guy or gal decided to eat off the perch instead of the ground.


Little bee taking a rest. She was so still for quite some time, I thought she might have been dead.


Another downpour left an inch of rain.


Petals dropped from the sunflowers


Atticus the Sunflower Snacker
 

Bunny in a field of clover


A foggy morning, the squirrel keeps a weathered eye out from the crow's nest.


A bunny finds a shady spot to beat the hot and humid weather.


Wonder if this new visitor is the one making holes in the morning glory leaves.

  1. My garden doesn't grow as well as yours, because you have received far more rain than we did here in the midwest. Hope you find the culprit who upended the Om Gnome. It is/was a fun new addition to your Zensicle garden.

    1. I've never remembered Summers with this much rain. I think the squirrels knock over Om, but I don't have any evidence

    1. The sunflowers were fabulous until Atticus and his friends nibbled them to the nubbins.

    1. Glad we didn't flood, too. One city North of Boston got almost 8 inches of rain out of one storm O-:

  6. I love your garden and the creatures it attracts. I try to remember I should feel blessed not to have flooding instead of complaining about the lack of rain. I'd love for Atticus to come visit someday ;)

    1. He just kept flying from the trellis to the screen. Back and forth. Then he settled in all his glory on the screen for a good 10 min. I think he likes Supernatural.
