Mid summer's day

Some gorgeous late July days- featuring blue skies, cool breezes and moderate temperatures in the high 80s! What a treat. 

Here are some photos from around the house, and the garden this week. 

Back patio garden, with rosemary, daisies, cucumbers, herbs and our Crepe Mertle. 

Lots of red is peeking out from the tomato cages. 

The nasturtiums, marigolds, banana peppers, and morning glories climbing the staircase once again. 

The sunflowers in the front yard. 

Flowers, fruits, and butterflies

Some of the flowers in June including yarrow, lillies and shasta daisies. 

Roma tomatoes, still green on the vine. 

While I was out of town for 10 days, my dill grew to about 3 feet tall! 

Next to it, you see bell pepper plants in the garden and genovese basil in containers. 

Some cuttings of basil, and Bibb lettuce for dinner. 

A visitor one morning, enjoying the flowers with me.
