Morning Walk Around

Front Sidewalk

Saturday Blooms

Morning time is the only productive time that can be 

spent outside in the oppressive, humid heat.

On cloudless mornings, the summertime sunlight
can be too intense, even for photographs

the river birch planting area is holding-up well

(the white aster is blooming- keeping the bagworms far away)

the front south side planting area-

low-growing crepe myrtles have naturalized nicely

view from the back fence of the south side planting area

(red carpet stonecrop & ajuga are being established as ground cover)

creeping jenny has worked well

 in the back part of the burning bush planting area

daylilys are in full bloom throughout the landscape
