Not so Lazy Summer Days.

Because I got it in my mind to make a Rose garden. Not that I need another garden, I have more than one person can handle already but, I have a few rose bushes that are in odd places so figured I would move them with three that I have in one area. This means digging up the ground to make the space. What a job! I have a bench that I want to put in this particular garden with an arch going over it so that I can put the climbing rose bush that I have there and you can sit on the bench under a bower of Roses....eventually. Of course I can't move the Rose bushes at this point but thought that if I had the ground prepared, the biggest job would be over with.

The weather has been fantastic. Lots of tourists and people with summer homes around now. So many unfamiliar faces. Although there was a wee bit of a nip in the air of autumn the other day, summer is going on as it should. In fact, sometimes we have lovely weather right up until the end of October. I'm just hoping that the snow doesn't start in November like it did last year. It makes winter seem so long.

A few pictures I took this week.




A few Juncos have hung around this summer. Loads at the feeders in the winter.

Butterflies

After spending four days in the city, I was happy to get home again. Had a good time though while there. Spent too much money as per usual. I got a couple of treats for myself...two blackberry bushes and an Asparagus Plumosa house plant. While still in the city, on Saturday, himself phones to tell me the computer won't work and a plant was knocked over. What plant I ask. Well he says it's a little plant coming up in a pot. Nooooo, not one of the buckthorns!!! He says he put it back in the pot as best he could. Well, on arriving home, it seemed to be okay, then counted how many I had now...drum roll...26. Had someone come and fix the computer last night. Thankfully I hadn't gotten to the point where I was having withdrawal pains, lol.

Sunday, daughter and I went to the park and visited the Butterfly house. Didn't even know it was there. Took some pictures of the ducks as well, but they will have to wait for another day.
