I did my morning stroll around the gardens as I do every morning to make sure all is ok and weeds are under control which they are some times hard to keep up with I must say they seem to grow over night lol . We had some rain last night and the odd clap of thunder . The winds are blowing from the north west and are nice and cool !
I had my camera with me … took photos and pulled some weeds , figured I might as well since again they seem to grow over night lol.
The sunflowers that we didn’t plant are almost ready to pop . I love them in my garden ! Thanks critters and birdies you did me a wonderful favour planting these here !
This is the tallest one of the bunch must be at least 6 feet and has a huge thick stem .Now the funny thing is the sunflower seeds we feed the birds and critters are not supposed to reseed as they are the oiled seeds .. well we knocked that theory out of the water and have proof even my in laws next door use the same oiled seed so it could of come from there to !
Whilst I was wandering around taking photos and weeding …. Miggs was just waking up from our walk before strolling the gardens . Stretching first then the shake after to get the webs out from napping lol !
The incredaball Hydrangea is slowly coming to an end for the season as the what was once white flower heads have all changed to a greening tinge !
Most flowers are still doing well and spreading like crazy and have thickened up so much !
A bit of rain still left on the flowers from the rains of the night gleaming in the morning sun !
I like photographing flowers in the morning sun with dew or rain drops still on them looks so pretty !
I finished up weeding what was there not a lot thank goodness and taking photos for now … stopped for a coffee and sat on the back porch taking in all the colours that are in the gardens , watching the birds and critters with the cool north westerly fall like winds blowing some times big gusts and the fresh sweet smelling air it is carrying with it .
Windows are wide open today
Todays weather !

I love sunflowers! Think of it as a special gift from God that it is planted in your garden!
Love the photos of the water droplets on your flowers.
It's a gorgeous day here too, and all my windows are open. A/C is OFF!
sounds a lovely way to start the day. Your photographs are lovely and colourful. Love the raindrops and number 7 is my fav.
Gorgeous stroll , delightful photos. I do the same thing every morning I walk around the garden , coffee in hand chickens following and I peek around and ponder there..
Odd that you mention oiled seed re seeding as our black oiled seeds did the same and for the first ti,e we had sunflowers too . It was a nice surprise.
Absolutely LOVE that hydrangea! We find pea plants all over...where the squirrels have 'hidden' dried peas.

Sunflowers are lovely. We have a couple of ones planted by the garden critters. We had a brief rain shower and a couple of claps of thundet this afternoon. We sat under the gazebo and listened to it hitting the canvas top ... reminded us of camping days.
