This morning was heavy rains for the best part of the morning but now the sun has come out , the winds were blowing high but have slowed down and the humidity is stifling as all the moister is on it’s way back up to the sky as the sun is beaming down .
All my gardens are coming along nicely , yup even the weeds are and that is an every second day chore to try and keep my gardens looking nice but heck just one of the things I enjoy doing , being in my gardens !
I am pleased at how well the front garden has done this year as in the past years for some reason the front was a tuff one to get that just right colour and look I was aiming for !
I just love the delicate perfect little flowers on my Hostas !
We have a lot of these butterfly’s this year , they are the Red Admiral and they have been feasting on my cone flowers , at one point I saw 5 of them all on the same Coneflower plant but I couldn’t get a photo of them all as one has to be very quiet and in walking towards them as they pick up the slightest vibration and POOF !! off they go ! Thanks Miggs lol !
This little guy is the Morning Cloak and he loves the nectar from the Oriole feeder !
My sweet pea bush is doing great this year lots of tinny little flowers have bloomed on it now , it took at least 3 years for this to happen .
The birdies have been busy at the feeders and bouncing from one feeder to the other !
Geronimoooo !!!!
The Clematis bush is blooming like mad soon it will be completely covered in pretty white blooms !
Our Incrediball hydrangea is doing well again this year !
Miggs is no longer a woolly mammoth , she had her doggie day spay yesterday and is a nice softy tofty clean cool pooch now . One day shaggy the next all smooth !
When she is all shaggy she looks like her Bearded collie side but shaved all the hound in her comes into her look lol !
Incognito mode from a squirrel across the yard !
So as the title of this post says , Everything is coming along nicely and we are enjoying
every second of it all !.
I did a post way back of the dog trailer and boat and trailer we put up for sale , well
I am happy to report we sold all !
Until next time my friends !

Your garden is beautiful.
Hello, cool, rainy and windy here, would never know it is July. Enjoyed all you gorgeous pictures, thanks for sharing, Francine.
I have seen people use lots of sweet pea's in the garden this year. I think I well next year.
I just love being out after a rain, as everything is fresh and cool. Great pictures, and thanks for identifying the butterflies. Love that first one!

Your flowers are looking great!! They are so neat and tidy! My weeds got ahead of me...UGGG!! Miggs sure is looking "cool"
I've yet to try taking pictures of insects.
Miggs looks good with a summer coat!
Your flowers are looking spectacular, no weeds there !

Your flowers gardens look great! Love the clematis! We have butterflies on our hummingbird feeders. I bet your dog loved his new summer do! We have a little dog named Shaggy, cause she is so shaggy! lol..
Your garden really is lovely! Your hard work and dedication to it has paid off, and all the lovely butterflies are showing their appreciation for it too! And Migg's "looks happy too in her new summer 'do!" :-)
your gardens are just lovely! And look at that cool beautiful Miggy!
Indeed, coming along beautifully!!! xx
Your gardens are looking lovely. My sweet peas are growing and growing but no blooms yet :(
Miggs looks very comfortable. Sometimes it just helps so much to get the old coat removed. So much easier for everything.
Your gardens look delightful! Didn't see any weeds.
I expect Miggy is thankful for the summer cut. Your photos of your garden and Miggy, the birds and butterflies are gorgeous! Happy day to you :)
yay for cool, comfy miggs. you have lovely flower beds. loved the mourning cloak, too.
Your garden looks lovely...we had the threat of rain today...had a few drops this morning while I was gardening...then nothing! Miggs Summer cut is cute...she looks comfy! Happy Monday!!
We could use some of those rains here to cool things down and water the plants, a chore I really dislike on hot days, like we have now. The flower gardens are looking good, Elaine, but as yiu waid weeding is work! Miggs looks great in her summer cut.
Your flowers and gardens are really beautiful! So much colour. I love the white clematis growing up that big old tree. It really shows up there. Enjoy the summer days. Pam
