Monday morning once again ( they keep coming quicker than ever!). We're enjoying a lovely sunshine filled day which may very well be uncomfortably hot by mid afternoon. Oh well. It is July after all.
My Hollyhocks are loving the sun. So far I have 2 colours.
New Daylilies open every day. I have not had a lot of infected buds this year, thankfully. I try to be diligent in searching and destroying them.
On the weekend we were walking on a path in Willband and this tiny head popped up from behind a rock beside the path. He looked at us then popped back down only to peek up a few feet away. He did this a number of times before running across the path and off on to his destination. From what I can see from images on the 'net he was a young weasel. He was so sleek and handsome. Who ever thought of a weasel in those terms? *smile*
Thanks for coming by today.
Your photos are so beautiful! Here in Montreal it is rainy, but we really needed it and the temperatures are cooler so I am grateful. Weasels are cute. And I love the illustration with the laundry at the end of your post.
ReplyDeleteWashing day here too. I'm glad we have machines now to do most of the work. Even with that I resent having to fold. :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't found any lily bud galls this year either. I guess being diligent last year helped.
What a cute little weasel popping up.
Weasels are not my favourite animal, but I have to admit that he has a very cute face!
ReplyDeleteYes, the sunny days of July are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour flowering Granny Marigold plants are very beautiful!
Have a beautiful Sunny week!!
Hope you laundry day was as successful as on the beautiful old photo! I have every m Monday house-cleaning day. Very hard to clean the whole house after some big visit :) But now I feel good. The little weasel is so sweet. I cannot imagine, that he is such a naughty robber! Your flowers are a shining summer- dream!
ReplyDeleteHe does look cute. I had my sheets blowing in the breeze today. :)
ReplyDeleteYour Hollyhocks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely to have automatic washing machines these days! We made do with a spin dryer when we were first married, an automatic washing machine was the first thing on my list when we moved to a new house.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I don't have to do laundry like the lady in the first image. So much work, especially on a hot day. How beautiful your flowers are. Now it's Tuesday and you can relax with the washing done.
ReplyDeleteYour Hollyhocks are beautiful. I love that shade of pink! Hmmm...something for me to seek out for next year. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad I don't have to hang out my laundry today. We had a doozy of a thunderstorm most of the night and everything is soaked. That weasel is cute. Who would have thought?
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
I'll take a weasel over a raccoon any day!
ReplyDeleteIs that a Helen Allingham painting? Very pretty.

Your hollyhocks bring back so many good memories from years gone by. and I love your daylilies. Oh and that weasel....what a cutie. Take care Granny and family.
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced your garden is enchanted. Your flowers are so pretty. I've never seen a weasel in person. They are really cute.
ReplyDeleteYour Hollyhocks are lovely! Weasels eat mice :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the weasel!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know weasels were that cute!!! Great photo♥
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about weasels, but the pictures you've shared make them look very cute!
All the best Jan
I've never had daylilies. What do the buds get infected with?
ReplyDeleteYour hollyhocks are lovely. I'd love to try growing them again. I still have one plant, actually, but it is now behind a big bush and I don't think it ever gets enough sun to bloom anymore.
