I went out early to work in the garden, before the day became too hot. Even with the help I get from my grown children the weeds and overgrown plants are winning. I still enjoy the challenge and the flowers when they bloom. One thing I do not like is Miss Kitty lying in wait for unsuspecting birds. In an effort to prevent at least some of her tricks we put a wire circle as a baffle around the birdbath. For anyone who doesn't know about the cat that came to stay I'll just say that we never wanted an indoor cat so when Kitty showed up pregnant and starving having been abandoned we fed her and in due time she had her 5 adorable kittens. They all found homes and Kitty got spayed. Now she comes and goes as she likes but stays outside.
My flowers are doing great with all the sunshine. I do quite a bit of watering after supper. Isn't it amazing that the month is almost over? I know the 21st is officially Summer but for me the season starts at the beginning of June.
I have a number of pots of Carnations but this one is my favourite.
Thanks for visiting.
It is clear how much work and care you have put into your garden, and the result is wonderful. I hope the little cat is lovely company as well. And that really is such a beautiful message that it is not enough simply to work hard, but also to take the time to enjoy the fruits of our labor
ReplyDeleteI love that pot of carnations! And I'm amazed that your zinnias are going strong so early.... but I guess my garden is generally late this year. We are in the middle of a coolish period which doesn't help.
ReplyDeleteVery much work in gardens! Here we have a very hot weather, a heat dome and 40 degrees C that’s too much for me I stay inside. The cats coming from the neighbourhood also catch some of our sparrows I have to use our dog to keep them away.
