July 2012

 bee visits Heliopsis 'Lorraine Sunshine'
 best reading nook in the neighborhood
the heliotrope, lemon thyme and lavender are fragrant.  
plus in a few years I might be able to pluck green grapes between chapters - 
just add my favorite cushion and a cup of rooibos, mmmm.....
 grapevine climbs - higher every year
 fiery colors - california poppies with nasturtiums
 wild beauty - crocosmia faithfully attracts hummingbirds
 heliotrope
 hydrangea
snail and ladybug found a hideaway in a high perch!

Things are growing; sprouting, flourishing, blossoming, withering, beginning and ending... it's the story of a garden.
