Hello sweet friends. Hope you're having a wonderful week. I can't believe it's already August. I'm trying to enjoy the last bits of summer that we have ahead and thinking back over how quickly the past few months have flown by.
I took a few photos at my parents' house the other day. They have a wonderful flower garden and I thought I'd share it with you.
You'll find some pretty pastel pink coneflowers.
A weathered, cast-iron bird bath nestled amongst all the greenery.
A few pretty purple hosta blooms...swaying in the breeze.
Lots of fluffy white hydrangeas...
Some daylilies and astilbes...
and more coneflowers.
This last one is at my house...I was feeling a little left out.
Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the
two most beautiful words in the English language. ~ Henry James.
Hope you have a wonderful summer afternoon.

ReplyDeleteTricia - Your beautiful photos perfectly convey a laid-back "Summer afternoon". I love garden photos and even with the extreme heat we've had, most of our garden has survived (with a bit of extra watering). Always enjoy your pretty pics. :)
