I hinted a few days ago about an addition to the garden pond.
Sailboats!
Some scrap wood, old spindles for the mast, and vintage grain sack sails.
I think they look quite nice bobbing in the water.

Aroma Therapy
I love when the Thyme starts to spill over the the garden beds.
Glorious Sunshine
The sun just makes things–better.
A week of storms, damaging winds and more rain than ever recorded in this Counties history.
The garden is slowly recovering, the water soaking in.
What you can’t see in this image; millions of mosquitoes!
Cabin Fever
A stormy week around the garden.
Monday’s storm left us without power and tree limbs across power lines.
The heavy rains and hail have taken a toll on my sweet little garden.
I know things could be much worse, and after todays storms; tomorrow promises to be a sunshine filled Friday.
Clean up day tomorrow!
Saving The Peonies
Storms are taking a toll on, well– everything!
I cut an armful of Peonies to at least enjoy the fragrant blossoms a few days in the house.
New And Improved
The new and improved garden pond!
Shallow edges making the pond more visible from around the garden.
Tumbled rock to line the pond, with field stones and limestone used in the waterfall and edges.
New areas of the garden have opened up to more work and opportunities.
I’m planting in with lots of starter perennials and sneaking plants from one area of the garden to another.
A friend offered some of her ferns and I can’t wait to go get them for the newest shade area of the garden.
A frog has moved in all ready and is happily croaking, but I have yet to spy him.
Working on a little surprise for the pond.
Any guesses?
Heavy On The Daisies, Please!
Yes, my garden must have daisies.
This childhood favorite flower, gently swaying in my garden…makes me very happy.
Here And There
The flowers are showing off in some areas of the garden.
This splash of white Clematis I have grown to really anticipate each year.
An unknown variety, it is usually the kick off for blossoms around Rabbit Run Cottage.
The Flags Are Out
Pretty Iris making their appearance this week.
The pot was marked as purple when I purchased these 3 years ago.
Much to my surprise yellow Iris appeared instead.
It’s a good color.
The State Of Things
With busy days in the garden, I have been forgetting to pick up my camera!
Some chores have been checked off the list, with many more still to go.
Scraping the greenhouse paint and then giving it a fresh coat of color is still a big one to get done.
To bad Rosie can’t help!
