My blogging friend, Judy, is a Master Gardener and quilter. Her blog is fun and interesting. Here is her link for those interested in beautiful gardens and quilting projects. She also talks books.
Her post today has both garden flowers and quilting projects she has done, and it inspired me to share flowers from my garden currently in bloom. I am walking in the wild side though because I am not a master gardener, though I do love my flowers.
The hostas are blooming.My maidenhair fern is a yearly joy.I love the silver leaves of this yellow yarrow.This sweet, little heart leaf foam flower is nearly finished blooming.Gentle, delicate heuchera (coral bells).Happy clematis.I let it roam over my oak leaf hydrangeas.The lovely white clematis.A perfect day for hanging out laundry!A surprise greeting from Max from under the huge hosta leaves.The rosemary is very happy!
I also keep a vegetable garden. How about you? Flower gardens, or vegetable gardens, or both? I have always said flowers are for the soul, vegetables for the body.
Thank you for the inspiration, Judy.
Did you know this? Gardeners spend all day in their beds!
The element of surprise has never been wasted with Boo-Boo. As a kitten she would hide behind every corner in the house then suddenly leap out at the unsuspecting passerby. It was hilarious how it even sounded as if she said BOO! before taking a mad dash into hiding. She is still this fun and playful at nearly 9 years old.
Adopted as a little kitten from a farming friend who found her high in a tree, we brought her home with great joy. She filled the hole left by our older cat that had recently died. It seems she has always appreciated her upgraded status from farm life to house cat. She goes to the barn only if we humans and dogs are out there with her. She never hunts for mice or birds. She much prefers feather pillows, and quilts on the beds to cat beds.
She is a ‘dog-walk’ cat. Everyday she walks with Buster, HoneyPie and me. Recently she joined us for an entire 40-minute walk! Often she walks on the fence around our property, “talking” the whole while!
The dogs hop around and wiggle when I brush them. Boo-Boo? Stands nicely and purrs! Good thing she has long, thick fur, a feather weighs more than she does.
HoneyPie and Buster would chase her but she has learned “no running means no chasing”. If they get too pushy, she’ll swat them. Seniority goes a long way.
She is a fun addition to this family of animals that call our place home. Allow me to introduce her.
