On my table in June...

I have been lucky to get such pretty flowers this June. Having a baby AND a birthday in the same month, wonderful. :)

Not to mention the flowers from our garden. Summer really is the best season here! Beauty inside and out!

Pansies my parents brought me in the hospital. I loved looking at them almost as much as I did my little newborn. :)

Peachy roses and carnations at home.

Pansies on my birthday cake. (made by my mama and hubby)

Tangerine orchid on my nightstand from my husband ♥

Peonies!

Pink carnations.

Those orange carnations lasted almost THREE weeks! 

The pink ones are still going strong.

The nasturtium and tomato have exponentially grown. Every time I look out there they're taller! 

I had to take a picture the other day of our neighbor's "suicide kitty". This cat gives me a heart attack almost dail.

More birthday and baby flowers :)

I started this post July 4th... And just now am posting it!! 

...must try to be a better blogger...

Zinnias!

AAAAAHHHHH!!! ZINNIAS!!!!

They're such simple flowers, yet so gorgeous! Those colors are just outta this world! 

Crazy beautiful. ♥

I'm almost caught up on garden blogging since these are pictures from yesterday! Yay! 

If only I could say the same for weeding. ;)

The pansies continue to delight!

Beans...

Here is what was happening July 1st.

I am in disbelief that it is JULY! 

Where does the time go??? 

Lots of happy times to come this month so I'm happy anyway!

My mom's pansies have gone bananas. 

 

I think these above and below are my favorites. But it's hard to choose from them which are the prettiest!

Oooh, fancy American zinnia... more to come!

And for comparison's sake to previous years, the currants are coming along nicely.

 

I love that with this blog I can chronicle time and look back at previous years. I check back every now and then when I want or need to remember what a certain time of the year looked like in nature, the garden, or life in general. 

So handy to have a pretty blog with pretty pictures! :)

The best part is, they've only gotten better since when these photos were taken!! :)

Amazing ruffle varieties and gorgeous colors. ♥♥♥

2013: Garden post #7

Woohoo! Finally a moment to upload pictures and blog!! :)

These were taken on June 22nd. Midsummer day.

It was also little Elisabeth's first time gardening! She didn't enjoy it for long though... which has made trips to the garden hard for me. :(

We're working on it ways for me to get away with or without her, but I must say, I really miss my little paradise of flowers and dirt.

Peonies "borrowed" from an abandoned lot two years ago finally bloomed!!

It was a cloudy and rather chilly day. Hence the layers. :)

Corn with more peas coming up behind it.

I never tire of these. 

Zinnia. Wait till you see the post I have planned around fresh cut flowers.... woweee!

I missed the poppies bloom this year due to the hospital and new baby learning curve. :( Next year!

Lilies!

Lettuce...

Peas...

Beans...

And while I still have time, I'll be back to post more! :)
