More Gardening and What's On My Paint Table

Thanks for putting up with all my garden photos, but gardening is what I'd rather be doing in the summer.

Here is the entrance to the back yard....

our front entrance.... don't look at those bushes. I'm trimming them next week.  I've always waited until the first of July so I don't have to trim them twice.

coneflowers that seem to come up in different places each year....

roses and hydrangeas....

vibrant petunias....

flowers inside the back gate....

and more....

I had to drag myself inside to get going on this new folk art painting.

It should be finished tomorrow and I'll be listing it on eBay.

Please keep all the people across the country who are suffering from fires and floods in your prayers.  My sister in law and her family are in Colorado and are pretty near one of the fires.
