We had some very cool weather up until a week ago - highs in the 60's. Rainy, too.
Then we had some very hot days (like most of the West, I guess), hitting 100 degrees (not a common occurrence here).
Here are some scenes from around the county:

Scenes from around our house:
 |
| Sitting on the front porch, looking at the clouds; that's the horse barn in the lower portion. |
 |
| Sitting on the front porch, enjoying the grassy expanse. Never mind the brown spots...that happens every year. |

| A visitor sitting in my chair |
 |
| A not-so-wild iris in my own backyard |
 |
| My prettiest rose! |
 |
| A tomato is actually growing! |
 |
| I like petunias. They are so accommodating. And most of these have sprouted from seeds dropped by last year's plants. |

The rose is absolutely beautiful !
ReplyDeleteOh my - what gorgeous photos. And what a glorious place!! My heart soars to look at it... thank you for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anon and Nancy!
ReplyDeleteSigh. What a lovely place you've got there.
ReplyDeleteThe wild iris is probably Iris missouriensis, which is native and grows wild throughout the west. It is accompanied by some yarrow and wild strawberries. Nice! -Juniper
ReplyDeleteBrother Juniper - yes! We ate some wild strawberries the other day. Wow...teeny tiny little things, but the flavor was incredible.
