A quick follow up to my post Agriculture Report: “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden”.
More flowers have been popping in the garden:
My dahlias that surprisingly come back every year:

Fuchsia colored lilies:

The reliable dayliles which return every year:

Blanket Flowers:

And some light pink roses:

We’ve been enjoying the flowers as we dine “al fresco” as much as we can in the lovely summer weather.
Breakfast on Sunday on the upstairs deck:

And then dinner (Shrimp fried rice made on the grill) on the front porch:

We are trying to enjoy outside dining as much as possible this summer.
If you are in the part of the world where it is summer right now, hope you are enjoying it!
mmmm – the shrimp dish looks so good (and summer is in full swing!)

It’s not summery here in this part of the world. And my mini.garden has more weeds than flowers, still many decaying autumn leaves. That’s 👍
And it’s lovely to see your ” ome again blooms”

Your flowers are gorgeous! I love the yellow/gold and pink/fuchsia tendency…and the drops of water look so cool and fresh. Meals outside can be so nice. I feel filled up by not only delicious food, but also the atmosphere. There is something positive and hopeful while at the same time part of the cycles of life and plants taking turns being glorious!

Thanks so much and it’s been a journey to get my garden to this point, much patience has been needed in this strange climate (when I lived in the Pacific NW you could throw seeds on the ground and they would grow) 🙂

it’s the other side of the year for us, but still pleasant enough outside to enjoy morning coffee on my front porch, watching the sunbirds flit around my golden shrimp flowers, looking for nectar. We don’t have hummingbirds Down Under, these tiny nectar feeders are our closest equivalents.

That sounds like a lovely way to start the day! I’ve never heard of sunbirds, going to look them up 🙂

They’re beautiful, the males are especially vivid, and their nest is spectacular!
