My gardens are calling my name




Hello it's June isn't it?
My backyard is certainly calling my name. That means get outside and weed and water and plant.
It's lovely and fun and exciting to see all my perennials resurfacing. I just love that.
I love perennials!
I love May and June. I do I do.
It's just that if I don't get my weeding in check July will arrive and all I will have is weeds.
We've had a lovely 10 days of our daughter here from SF and she's now flown back.
Family dinners, outings, a quick two day trip to PA to visit a grandmother, shopping and hanging out on our back porch watching the sunsets. It was wonderful as it always is when she is here.
Now it's the regular late spring routines around here. Getting the garden and yard in shape.
We are also getting ready to replace all the windows in the house. The windows do not have screens which is amazing to me. Also some are single panes not double, and most of the seals on the windows are broken. Isn't too bad in summer but in the winter in these winds it gets quite breezy inside.
So that is what I am doing.
What are you doing to enjoy late spring, almost summer days?
