Heavy rains the week before knocked the hose out of the rain barrel.
The elbow was facing up when the hose got knocked out. A slight adjustment with the elbow down made collecting the water right as rain.
Petunias
Clematis flowers the size of dinner plates
Petunias for the mailman
The hydrangea has new growth. The deadwood needs to be trimmed away
I asked Quill to smile
Alpine bells among the ferns
The snowball bushes look more like flurries
What is it? It's pink.
How does your garden grow?
The flowers are looking fantastic, and glad you got the rain barrel drain fixed again. I watched a NOVA (science show on PBS) about cats a couple of weeks ago and it said they are lacking some facial muscles which is why they can't do facial expressions like dogs. But they certainly have more muscle elsewhere with all the twists and turns they can do with their bodies . Evolution is fascinating! Enjoy your day! hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's something cats grow out of. When Quill was a kitten, he could smile.
DeleteWonderful flowers. Cats should smile when you order it!?! Valerie
ReplyDeleteQuill used to
DeleteYour flowers do look nice.
ReplyDeleteWe have been enjoying some wonderful sunny days recently.
All the best Jan
We've had the same weather
DeleteYour garden pictures are always so nice and your flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove Quill's smile!
😺
DeleteLooks like a dahlia to me. Or, as you would say, "dah-lee-ah". Hugs, Kaz
ReplyDeleteToo right, mate! 😺
DeleteBeautiful! I had a clematis once, but it didn't overwinter. I should try it again. My hydrangea is a little further along than yours. I'm happy every year it comes back :)
ReplyDeleteCat pose :)
We had clematis planted by the lamppost, but it never survived the Winter. Himself planted the clematis in a pot and then wrapped it and put it in the greenhouse for the Winter. Quill loves to pose for pictures
DeleteNice save on the rain barrel. Your flowers are looking really great. Nice you planted petunias for the mailman.
ReplyDeleteMy cats have facial expressions, but I wouldn't call them smiles. They sure let me know when they are displeased, though.
I know the displeased look especially on Calli 😺
