Foxgloves

Today was another cloudy and foggy day in New England

so I planted my magnificent new foxglove plant.

This is a needlepoint tapestry

I stitched a few years ago

The feathery tops of this Feather Reed Grass

turns to a golden tan in late summer.

Rain, rain, go away!

It is June 29th, another sunless day with light rain and 60s temperatures.

The beautiful new pool remains unused the entire month of June.

The garden, however, is thriving nicely.

Orange lilies

Yellow lilies

Bromze lilies

Astilbe

Roses

Hydrangea

3 new young koi in the pond

The weather

My garden is beautiful.
The pool looks so inviting.
Mother nature isn't cooperating.

Ooh look, the temperature is going all the way up to 72 on Wednesday! And no rain!

We are ready to entertain family and friends

Our beautiful new pool

Comfortable chaise lounges

Food and drink

Tables in the shade

A playground corner for the children

Beautiful peonies at sunset

It may be damp, cool, and gray, but the garden brightens my day!

Peonies

Clematis

Wisteria

Petunias

Geraniums

A new pink rose

New hostas

This is my new pond filter which I hope will keep the pond clean so that I can add some plants and fish.

What the endoscopy camera found

The camera I swallowed found small irregularities at the end of my small intestine. My doctor believes they are leaking blood vessels which have become fragile due to aging (hah!) and my long term use of the drug, coumadin, which is a blood thinner.

My doctor claims it is not bad news and he can cauterize them with a colonoscopy. I will schedule one tomorrow.

Good Morning
