Pleasant Days
I find so much pleasure in summer days. In spite of all the rain we've had, and the low temperatures, there's still many great things for me to enjoy this summer.
One thing I'm enjoying a lot is the position of my computer in the dining room so that I can look out the window at the archway trellis, the birds, the cone flowers and the Gloriosa Daisies while I work here. It's a scene that's both beautiful and entertaining for me, because of the birds, squirrels and chipmunks providing the entertainment and and the birds and flowers are all beautiful.
Yesterday I spent some time outdoors deadheading. That's not as enjoyable as watching the plants begin to bloom but it's an important part of gardening. I shall hate to see the Gloriosas come to the end of their cycle. I don't have many fall flowers. The mums I had last year didn't make it through the winter. It was a hard winter last year and I lost a lot of plants to winter kill.
