Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.  ~Gerard Nerval  


Hello all.  Today the weather is forecast to bring 90+ degree temps.  Phew, sounds like a day to work outdoors this AM.  So guess I best get going.  Will return ....
Until next time, Happy Gardening.
 


 

Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair... ~ Susan Polis Schutz 

I like to dance, I like the sun, I like to pick flowers ... how fun that sounds to have wildflowers in my hair!!!!  A hippie.  From the 70's.  Yep!  Sounds like me!!!

So how are your flower beds lookin'?  The daylilies here at Oakville Farm are showing themselves.  Had so many distractions today, did not get to photograph them.  That is certainly on my list for 'morrow.

Do you ever have a day where you think everything is going smoothly, then when you sit down in the late afternoon and reflect over the day ... well, things might not have gone so smoothly???  It was one of those days here.  Like, had plans, then an unexpected visitor, then phone calls, then family issues, then grocery store, then bill payment, then school, then home, then dinner.  Oh my, sounds like a typical day.  So where did the plans unravel?  Will contemplate on that for a bit.

Hope you had a good day. 

And until next time, Happy Gardening.

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.  ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Tropical Storm Andrea is gone from here.  She left behind more than 5" of rain here at Oavkille Farm.  Driveway washed out in a few places, quick stream of flowing water ran thru daylilies, water standing under the goat shelter!!!!  And speaking of goats, have not seen them for 2 days.  They do not like to get their hooves wet.  Have found high ground, Somewhere in and around the pasture.

Have been outdoors and the things I see!!!! Much more green, shrubs laying down from rains/wind ... I was in awe!!!

Goin' out again.  Hope you have a good Saturday and until next time, Happy Gardening.

No two gardens are the same.  No two days are the same in one garden.  ~Hugh Johnson

True, oh so true.  My brother-in-law always has a beautiful vegetable garden.  So clean, well manicured, well thought out.  And my sister has the same in her flower garden.  All so beautiful.  Strive to be like them in my older age!!! 

Daylilies are a very forgiving perennial that should be in EVERY yard/garden.  Good green foliage, drought tolerant, disease free.  Just a perfect plant. 

This is the daylily Hemerocallis Cabbage Flower.  It is an early bloomer.  Double yellow.  Nice thick scapes.  Blooms stay close to the foliage.  A good contrast of color between bright yellow and rich green.

 
Hope you will find that one daylily (then two, then three, then MORE daylilies) will enter your life.  They will provide many  years of enjoyment.

Hope you have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
 

Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem or saying a prayer.  ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Flower arranging, sunshine .. two good parts of ones day.  :)

So how are your daylilies?  Have four new bloomers today.  Just can inside for a glass of iced tea and to pick up camera.  Gonna "shoot me some daylilies"!!!!

Hope you have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.

Yeah, a nice little shower last night.  About 3/4" of rain.  It was sorely needed.  Goin' out now to see how perky everything is lookin' ...

Friends are flowers that never fade.  ~Author Unknown
