I'm entering a new decade taking on the challenge of moving from Maryland after living there 46 years and learning about my new home here in New England in the Live Free or Die state - New Hampshire. Join me as a write this new chapter of my life.

More Blooms

 

These blooms are in the deck garden.

Creeping thyme.


Dahlias preparing to bloom



Lungwort or is it spider wort?


Day lily.


I think this one is a volunteer from the birdseed.


Bee balm, shasta daisies and now a gladiola.




The gladiolas and shasta daisies were once at the end of the deck when it was twice the size it is now.  I'm glad they didn't mind being transplanted.  I think the shasta daisies are a new favorite because they just keep on blooming.

And with this post I'm taking a bit of a break from posting.  I'll be back soon.

Two Summer Regulars

 


Monarch butterflies are around now. Captured on my iPhone camera with editing for the close up.  The butterfly was aware of me and would fly away if I got too close.


Blueberry pie almost gone on Friday night.
Devoured for breakfast by two granddaughters, Dan and me.
