I can't show my current knitting or sewing projects, as they are all for gift-giving in the near future. So I thought I'd just wander a bit outside and share some of the beauties currently blooming on our place. First up a magnificent yellow iris. We have lots of different colours. This one was close to the driveway, making it easy to photograph.
Earlier today we had a few thunderstorms pass through our area, and now, with the sun shining and hardly any wind, the mosquitoes are out in their hordes!
A bush of blooming lilacs
A field of lupins
Nasturtiums--which always seem to me like a very old-fashioned flower, because I have a large old-fashioned coffee pot decorated with nasturtiums.
A deep, deep red peony, which appears much lighter in this photo
From now until the middle of August, our landscape is a profusion of blooming colour, much to Jim's delight--he planned and planted it all, with S's help.
