What's blooming today?
These are hosta flowers.
I’m not always that into them when I look at them from afar amid the rest of the plants in the garden, but when I get up close to Hosta flowers I do appreciate how pretty they really are after all.
Do you enjoy your hosta flowers?

This weeks theme is Happy
I’m sure that anyone that’s been to this site before knows that as far as my garden goes seeing my plants doing well and blooming makes me happy.
Just look at the lovely rose photo I’ve included in this post.
I took that photo last year and I can’t remember just which rose bush those flowers were blooming on. My guess is that it’s either Compte de chambord or Baronne Prevost. Either way, the roses are lovely and highly scented.
Imagine walking into a garden filled with lush blooms like those above, surrounded my their beautiful scent. How could you not be happy.
I’ve found the weather to be very strange this week.
It was really hot hear last weekend, but we had a good rain storm on the Sunday and it cooled things down making the beginning of the week fairly pleasant. In fact, with the rain we had on Sunday and the cooler days on Monday and Tuesday we didn’t even think about watering the garden until Wednesday night.
Wednesday and Thursday were fairly hot, but then today – Friday we were back to reasonable mid to late summer temperatures.
However earlier this evening the wind really started to pick up. I mean it’s really windy outside. Windy enough that my husband was eying our neighbors huge Maple and he was hoping that the wind didn’t get any stronger because he really thought some of the tree branches might start coming down.
So you can imagine with all that wind it’s cooled down quite a bit. I expect it will get quite cool through the night.
If the weather we’ve experienced in the past week were a diet it would be a yo yo diet.
It looks like Saturday and Sunday will have temps in the mid 70’s. My husband and I are again hoping to get some gardening work done over the weekend and I’m actually quite happy that it won’t be too hot. I can’t work up the desire or energy to do major garden work when it’s 100 degrees and humid outside.
How’s the weather been in your area?
