WW - More Lilies Open

Out the Front Door

I never enter or exit from my front door because the car is in the garage.  This time of year I do like to have it open for the view especially now with the hibiscus in its full glory.

The black-eyed susan are also adding to the color show.

The yellow/green creeping jenny is filling out the pots again after being munched by deer.

Inside the vestibule an angel keeps watch

and friends are welcomed by a sign painted by my dear mother many many years ago.

Come by for a visit!

Church Under the Arch

When we were in St. Louis in April we visited the Gateway Arch.  Practically underneath it is the Old Cathedral, site of the oldest Catholic parish west of the Mississippi and where Sacagawea's son was baptized.

 Sorry about the traffic lights in this photo.

Below I'm looking down on the church from the Arch.

Vegetable Garden This Month

It's a waiting game in the vegetable garden.  

Waiting for the beans to get long enough.  

Waiting for the squash to bloom. 

Waiting for the tomatoes to fatten and color up. 

  Waiting for the peppers to form.  

Waiting to harvest.  Even the garlic I pulled this week doesn't count as a harvest since it has to cure in the garage.

 

 

 I wonder though how long I have before the tomatoes give it up.

Look at the yellowing leaves.  Blight?  Too much rain?

Now my volunteer tomato growing behind the compost bin and through my fence is doing just fine.  I think its a Juliette.
