Monday Flowers and Berries

 

 We walked at Willband yesterday before the day became too hot  Like most of North America we're experiencing very hot weather.  ( The photo was taken by S.G., a fellow walker).  This morning we were back to walking closer to home.  I spent an hour watering my gardens when we got back. Everything is doing fine...as long as I keep watering.

The Annabelle Hydrangeas are doing great. The one in the foreground is Strawberry Sundae but her flowers haven't developed the pink tinges yet. I can't remember how soon they turned colour last year.


Lavender loves the sunshine!!



On our way back from Willband yesterday we stopped at a blueberry farm where a man was putting up
a Blueberries for Sale sign. We turned in and became their first customers not only of the day but the season. They had just opened for business. We bought 3 boxes which will be shared with various members of the family.  No doubt we'll go back for more next week because we're all big fans of those big blue berries.

I better get back to doing my laundry.

Have a lovely day.

  1. Your Annabelles look great. Annabelle didn't love us here and ours have slowly diminished to almost nothing.

  2. So wonderful to see your garden in flower - and nice to dream about fresh blueberries! We have thick fog today, for the fourth day in a row. It is dreary, so I find it nice to see your pretty pictures :)

  5. Hello GM! Your garden looks happy and healthy in all this warm and dry weather. My what beautiful blueberries and so good for you too! Sounds like it's time for some blueberry scones or blueberry buckle, or even lemon blueberry muffins! Yum! That is if you can stand to turn the oven on in all this heat. Happy eating whatever you choose to do with them!

  9. Great, I love blueberries. Fortunately, we also have them now that the strawberry harvest in the fields has been completed.
    Summer is back here for me, now I have to water the garden too... I have a hose with a pump and the water is rainwater... we have plenty of it.
    Many greetings to you. Happy Tuesday.

  10. Your hydrangeas are so huge! They must love their location on your yard. I'm envious at all those blueberries. Yum! I can only imagine the various delicious recipes you'll use them in. Send some my way, lol.

  11. Your flowers are beautiful! I will need to water mine today as we are expecting a high of 93F and only cooling off to 76F tonight.
    The blueberries look so good. Most of our blueberries are the large ones also. Have a wonderful remainder to your week. xx

  12. The berries look fantastic. I haven't bought any blueberries since I served some at a tea party. They are the cutest, tidiest fruit and so easy to display on a tea table. But most importantly, so easy to eat!
