On this super hot day in July, I filmed a 24 second video of the loveliest peaceful fountain in an urban garden. Thanks Bev. Your garden is an oasis of serenity. Surrounded by coneflowers and daisies and whimsical rabbit sculptures. I appreciated your showing me.
It’s enormous!
My friend and gardener extraordinaire Erin brought us some lettuce and snap peas from her garden. She was worried her lettuce would bolt due to the extreme high temps we’re having.
I washed, drained and wrapped them in towels and put in the fridge.
Remember the post of the tuna balsamic simple sandwich with chopped sweet onion, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese?
No bread this time
Thank you Erin. It was delicious

My garden in Pittsburgh -Perhaps the perennial Pale Pink is a Stargazer but I know the yellow ones are Stella d’Oro Daylily
and the Orange Daylily in Columbus Ohio.
Not everyone likes the fragrance of a lily I read.
When I was going around my yard (after having been away for more than a week) I photographed all the flowers,
Was I surprised when I saw a baby deer, hidden in the bushes at the corner of my house. I learned that the mothers leave them and then return to get them. Steve saw a big deer in the backyard yesterday. I hope the little fawn got reunited with its mom.
That’s what this flowering shrub is named. I didn’t make it up. This bush grows along the driveway and the blossoms are quite lovely.
Old Fashioned Weigela. Sometimes it has a hyphen between old and fashioned.
