Sunflowers and a Mystery Flower

The sunflowers bloomed yesterday and this blue flower is a mystery. I think it is an herb???

Cellar Door

Our cellar door was growing moss and disintegrating, so I bought some new wood and replaced it last week with Jason's help. Here are the before and after photos.

Four O'Clocks

One of my students gave me a Four O'Clock plant at the end of this school year. It has been an interesting addition to the garden. Four O'Clocks bloom from four o'clock in the afternoon until four o'clock in the morning (so they are very exciting like morning glories!). In this photo they are closed (even though it is cloudy today).

Bamboo Green

I painted the bathroom a high gloss light green a few weeks ago and added some new shelves. It feels so much larger without the busy, busy wallpaper!

The Patio

Mexican roses are so fun and they are doing quite well on our back patio.

Summer

I expanded my garden this summer. I'm growing zucchini, pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelons, cherry tomatoes, green peppers, mint, marigolds, sunflowers, rosemary, shasta daisies, morning glories, and 4 o'clocks (my new favorite-stay tuned for a photo). If you look towards the bottom in the center of the 3rd photo, you can see the tiny watermelon growing (thanks to Uncle George for suggesting watermelons and pumpkins!).
