I bought some lobelia and viola starts at the local nursery. They were planted by a local grower.
Summer and I decided to go ahead and fill some of our excess flower pots with starts. Some will find their way to friends and some will brighten up our garden.
I wanted to see if Summer could fetch for me if I showed her an example of what to find. I only brought out one of my purple gloves and asked her to go back and get the other one. About two minutes later I had the second glove. She amazes me sometimes.
We do have fun together in the garden.

Ok...balcony switched to summer config...if we get 30cm of snow, it's my fault...

Summer needs exercise before I leave to go to the Hands Off protest.
She totally understands why we can't make it out to the beach today.
Her job is to stay home and take care of her pal.
She takes it very seriously.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Spring's balm quickly fades
Summer blisters the garden
Sunflowers show some skin
Thick and radiant through Fall

This afternoon I did some mowing around Summer's front acre.
After, we treated ourselves to a short rest, in the shade.
I can hardly wait for the roses to bloom. They are all starting to bud.
Our garden isn't very fancy but it is our own personal refuge.
We are happy here.

Roses in June colored pencil

My drawing is inspired by vibrant roses blooming in June. It's always so nice to see these roses again, as the weather gets warmer.

A perfect morning here on the north coast of California.
Nice enough to bring my husband along for a short walk.
Mild temperature and no wind.
Perfect.
Summer was the happiest dog in the neighborhood.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Unless we adults make them so, children's lives are not complicated. They approach the world with eyes that see, hands that want to touch, hearts open to friends and friendship.

Summer wanted to work in the garden this afternoon. I told her that I'm pretty tired but we could plant the newest blueberry bush.
Summer loves blueberries and lucky for us she doesn't eat them off the bush, but instead waits to be invited.
I am still feeling the tiredness and sore arm from yesterday's covid booster, so when we finished gardening, Summer volunteered to pick up the mess, and bring it into the garage. She is the best, best helper.
