Rose of Sharon

This is a light pink double rose of Sharon. A friend gave me a cutting several years ago. She has since passed away but I think of her when I look at this little rose I remember her.

Peaches

They aren't clear seed and I thought they would be. But they are really good.

Long Day

Today I volunteered from 9 am until 3:30 pm. Part of that time was our quarterly meeting. It was a good meeting with everyone willing to participate and cooperate. It's important that everyone feel a part of our process. I was very pleased with the enthusiasm of our volunteers. We only have eight, but they are all active and happy to volunteer and contribute to the community. It's great to work with a group like that.

This and That

A little weed whacking, a little weeding, a little cleaning, and emptying food from the refrigerator made me feel a little productive. Washing the containers took a little more time.  Tomorrow will be taken up with volunteering and our quarterly meeting, so I'm pretty pleased to be caught up around here.

Giant Hosta

The giant hosta is just starting to bloom. I wish they had a sweet fragrance. Failing that, I suppose it's good they have no fragrance at all.

Busy, Busy

Vacuuming and dusting today. I suppose I'll do something useful tomorrow.... or not. I fertilized the porch flowers, too.

Winter hardy Lilies

I have a couple of clumps of these pink lilies. When they have finished blooming, I'm going to separate them and move most of them. They are starting to spread into the creeping phlox.
